This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's not personal choice. Create the environment where, it's odd that highly processed foods are the default snack. Create the environment where exercising and listening to your body is expected.

I'm saying extremely privileged things, there are people without access to healthy foods. This doesn't get rid of everyone else's responsibility to vote in elections and vote with their dollars.

it’s not about healthy foods. It’s never been about healthy foods. It’s always been about not stuffing your face. It’s always been about mostly healthy most of the time. Which you can only really do if you cook for yourself.

Actually not serving home cooked meals to your children is child abuse, also.

Yeah, if sugary breakfast cereals weren't heavily marketed to families and fast foods and high fructose corn syrups weren't heavily subsidized food items I might agree with you.

Right now it's financially less optimal to eat right. That doesn't mean it's too hard to do, you just have to think about it if you can afford it.
