I agree with you. I just lament that people can take something to nominally be true and then make themselves a hero by their caring so much. Gag. They care not. I can’t even imagine being in this “caring” mans family. I think I’d rather be w/o a friend in the whoe wide world than be a “beneficiary” of his compassion
Microwaves, cable TV, computers, video games, PE in school isn’t what it once was— if it is even required.
Many people don’t know how to cook anymore. There are some, that if you gave them a whole chicken and a bag of beans they would stare blankly and probably starve.
Heck, when they take kids lunches away, what to they give—chicken nuggets. Food pantries hand out chicken nuggets, too. Microwavable food is about the extent of cooking knowledge for many and processed food is always much more fattening.
As a kid cartoons were on Saturday mornings. I think there were some cartoons on channels 26 and 39— from about 3pm to maybe 5pm— those were only for rainy days, we would rather be out playing. Sundays there was the Wonderful World of Disney or the Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom. With cable there are cartoons 24-7.
I think PE needs to make a good comeback and the same with home economics, where if you don’t know how to cook or sew...you learn how.

Then don’t eat any.
Just leave the rest of us alone.
It would be interesting to see ethnic demographics for those states.
Do they have the obesity statistics factored by ethnicity, age or income?
Yes; we fought a war for our independence and established a free nation, so cities could outlaw sugary drinks. Sigh....
Hey Liberals. You want something to do? Okey then follow this one piece of advice of your beloved late Marxist Liberal Marcuse and "make love not war". You remember that saying don't ya? Here's it right back at ya. Do anything so long as you stay out of our lives you Nanny State Idiots.
Yup that’s where the place is. A guy really did have a heart attack there recently.
Here is a picture of one of those heart stoppers:
The owner says he has eaten at least one of these burgers every day since it opened 7yrs ago. I just can’t imagine it.
