I'm so confused and jaded!

You're in control of the choices you make, nobody else...

When you ignore the diet and fitness industry marketing and crockumentaries, good nutrition is largely common sense...start exercising that.

I would like to marry this phrase

"The odds aren't stacked against you...you're 100% in control of your choices."

Those appalling mockumemtaries are responsible for a world of "victims" feeling out of control

I watched Fed Up and wanted to throw a brick through the screen. All those parents searching for someone else to blame for their children's obesity... :mad:

Perhaps they meant to title it *kitten* up? Hint: it starts with an "F", too

ugh. rainy weekend after a really *kitten* week of work = bulk netflix.

I watched, Fed Up, Fat Sick and Nearly Dead, and Hungry for Change, and they've basically left me feeling so helpless.

Like, how can we win when big food companies are cutting our efforts to do better down? I want to put my own interests first, but they want the same and they're a hell of a lot bigger and noisier than me!

I'm not saying I won't keep doing my best, I have enough knowledge to look after myself, but it's just so depressing to see how the odds have been stacked against society in general by companies who have too much control!

I don't see how the odds are stacked against you or anyone; we all make the decision what to buy and eat for ourselves, don't we? In the words of my dear Gramama...."If everyone jumped off a building, would you?" (You and I know it was a bridge, but SHE didn't..lol!)

Your body is YOURS...eat wisely, shop wisely, with as much information as you can garner....

Next time you feel like drowning your sorrows in Netflix, steer clear of the documentaries. Instead, just search for "Space Dandy".

You can thank me later.
