Actually, people in this thread have said repeatedly that they DO care, and that they take the initiative to make healthy food choices rather than waiting for “the system” to do it for them. [/quote]

It’s saying you’re content with schools serving crappy food, food industry producing crappy food, restaurants serving crappy food.  That part you’re fine with.
You put responsibility on an individual to somehow survive and thrive in this environment.

That’s nuts.  And also doesn’t work if you noticed American health statistics.[/quote]

No, not content with it. It sucks that “crappy food” is in such demand. We generally avoid school lunches for our kids, and there are enough like minded people in our boundary that food outside of lunch is not allowed at school. No candy, no junk, no snacks. That part of our local system has been changed, because there was support for that change.

We generally avoid “crappy food” at restaurants, outside of the occasional treat. We make better choices. But this being America where people don’t take kindly to being told what to do, what is demanded will be supplied. The system doesn’t change because people like unhealthy foods. Too many people like too much unhealthy food, in my opinion, but that is their prerogative. I make healthy choices for my family. I have the power to do that, as do you.[/quote]
