It should be taught in schools. Cut out the pizza and soyburgers in school cafeterias. Replace the garbage that is served with most public school lunch with real food. Then, have courses which emphasize as healthy diet and lifestyle. When I was in school, I vaguely remember learning some basic facts about the food pyramid but that was about it. We should be providing people the means to make informed food choices rather than taking away what we deem bad for them.


Cmon man. People know that if you eat McDonalds, you get fat. They don't need to be educated on it. They're fat usually because they're lazy. Our poor people have incredibly high rates of obesity. And it's not because they don't know Ho Hos aren't part of a balanced diet.

It isn't just about getting fat though. You can eat fast food every day of your life and not "get fat," but not getting fat doesn't mean you're healthy. I think that's a lot of what people don't necessarily realize.

Most people think they can eat whatever they want as long as they feel good then when they start to feel bad they can stop eating like crap and feel better again. It doesn't always work that way as you can do lasting damage to your digestive organs based on what you put in your body nevermind the risk of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.

Talk about a bubble, this is screams of snobbery and elitism.

Have you even heard of food desserts? I'm guessing not.
