Re: Well ...
That's part of it. See also:
* Allowing food corporations to
engineer food to be addictive
, the same as tobacco companies did with cigarettes, and with similar results. Oh wait, I misspoke.
Junk food kills
more
people than smoking
.
* Allowing factory farms to destroy the soil to the point that
their produce is less nutritious
.
* Forbidding people to eat except at regimented times trains them to
ignore signals of hunger or satisfaction
, instead gorging at the allotted times in hopes of not getting hungry before the next meal.
* Forbidding children to
walk to school
,
play outside
, or
pretty much go anywhere
.
Then society blames
children
for being fat, lazy, isolated, and otherwise unhealthy -- despite children deciding precisely none of these things.
And then they wonder why kids prefer to spend time in a videogame world where they can actually DO THINGS.
