Side note my aunts back at it. Today she told me she reworked the public school snack program to chocolate chip granola bars and mini sugary cereal boxes with milk off of fresh apples and sandwiches because their lower calorie and shes fighting the obesity problem. By swapping apples for chocolate granola bars. Funnily they are 150-200 calorie bars. The apples they had been using were around 90 calories. Her logic just dumbfounds me

Lol.. Those 60 to 120 calories less will definitely make a huge impact.. Cause it was the granola bars and not the possibility of the parents over feeding them at home. Apple's will totally make a difference
If I understood, aunt is eliminating apples for granola bars. Not vice versa.1 -

It's not getting worse, you're just noticing it more. People have ALWAYS sold idiotic ideas to dumbshitts.2

Things come to light more and more from the fact that people try to sell ideas to people for a quick buck, however things back in the 90's being sold/exchanged around likely arent the same garbage going around now..
If i remember back in the 90's, everything was about different fitness machines or accessories. There is still a lot of that now but that was the dominate force... thigh master is one of those useless things that come to mind.
Even in the 1960's they had that vibrating belt machine.
But as more and more people realize that weight loss is something people struggle with and long for with minimal effort, they created things that were hard to maintain but gave people water weight loss because people didn't know the difference, so we ended up with juicing, then cleanses and detox drinks and odd diets like the banana diet, military diet, etc.. Apple cider vinegar has had a claim of aiding in weight loss for a while.. but it can only be played out so much by different people incorporating it into their fad diets that they had to start adding other ingredients to it to make it different then the other, thus over time making the woo worse, because instead of having vinegar to dismiss as a weight loss aid.. now its lemon... cinnamon... ginger... and parsley.. all of which like the vinegar are pointless for weight loss, but have been upgraded into the woo.
I reckon social media is the biggest culprit for the surge in woo. It's so easy to MLM, share that post, pin that stupid drink, google something that will tall you what you want to hear... it's just so damn accessible these days. And people are so trusting...8
