OK - So these areas that have not shown any significant improvement in more than twenty years has to do a lot with diet and smoking right (lifestyle)? Then if they are so poor, you know that they are receiving food stamps, and if they are receiving food stamps then why are they not eating healthier? I know that I would if I could afford to. I suppose that this is where the inequality of education comes into play. Maybe common core would have fixed that particular inequality.
ReplyDeleteI personally feel that your "education" has nothing to do with your eating habits. Who ever said that a Ph.D. has better habits a High School dropout? Both have access to the same information so it must come down to who actually thinks about what they are putting into their bodies. No amount of education will make any choose healthier habits, that has to come from one's own natural intuition. Your public education goes through healthy lifestyle instruction every year, just look at the food pyramid (if that is even still around).
Just my two cents. I left stuff out of my rant but I didn't want to bore you guys.
and whose (who's ?) fault is that ? not mine. clean up your own house & neighborhood. own your actions.
ReplyDeleteTrump has caused all this crap , at least that what the libs will say.
ReplyDelete2:29 I'd have to disagree with you there. If you're uneducated about the risks of you current diet and the implications of your lifestyle you are unlikely to change. I see your point though, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink--we could educate everyone who is so morbidly obese that they need a wheelchair to get around on why their diet is killing them but they're unlikely to change. After all for most people junk food activates the same receptors in the brain seen in addicts getting their fix
ReplyDelete2:50 how humanitarian of you. Guess we'll all leave you alone then even if you needed some help since clearly you have everything figured out.
ReplyDelete3:22, yea I do.
