Yeah, healthy choices are on the menu, but what do their commercials show? A burger with cheese and sauce oozing out of the bun. Food porn.
People are conditioned to place high value on certain foods -- sometimes through generations of culture. On the Ken Burns Vietnam series, there was a Japanese-American veteran who recalled how a family cooking rice in a village caused him to stop and ask for some, he missed rice so much while in the Army.
I don't buy this. It's still a DECISION. They are not strapped to a chair and forced to eat it.
Sure, it's the EASY decision, but choosing to be personally responsible is never the easy choice. Regardless of how enticing, one is still deciding and making choices. I'd love to sit on the couch all day and drink beer, but I know that's a bad choice.
Everybody's a victim, right? Evil corporations are responsible.
Education (not indoctrination) first, and personal responsibility immediately following.
