[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As I read through through some of the active threads on this forum, I can't help but see so much overlap in terms of judgment of other people if a particular problem doesn't impact them specifically. People deny that racism exists, blame parents for kids' mental health issues, and assert that anyone can be healthy and avoid being overweight if they try hard enough. Sure, most things can be accomplished if you prioritize that goal over all others, and healthy eating is one of those things. Yet most people have other demands in their life that need to be met that make it more difficult to prioritize health.  Why are people so adverse to thinking about changes that would help more people adopt healthy lifestyles? In posts just today, we have people denying that racism exists, talking about how employers won't give them time to seek mental health treatment, despairing about how the health insurance coverage they and their employers pay for won't cover mental health treatment, and on and on.

Physical and mental health go together, and societal factors like low wages, long work hours, racism, lack of access to mental health treatment, lack of sleep, and many other factors make it more difficult to maintain good physical and mental health. Is it so horrible to think that as a society we can do better?  [/quote]
