The parents have no clue that if you put garbage (sugar & other c*ap) into your body then it is bad for you. You see them at the grocery store with food stamp credit cards but the worst sugary junk food.
Morbidly obese is becoming a more common pharse in the vocabulary. I have cut down going out to eat to save a few buck but also to avoid seeing fat people at the trough. I totally avoid fat food places but I would go to Chick Filet sometimes. I notice too many fatties there so I stopped.
Other places like Cracker Barrel attract them plus fast food. The worst is those - all you can eat Chinese buffetts. Total garbage food loaded with all sorts of fillers and they are filled with illegal alien chinese employees. I went to one - once and it was horrible. They attract people who want to eat like pigs.
You are right on- the parents don’t know/care. Part of that comes from decades of kids raising themselves.
Mostly I have cut way back on eating out simply to have more control over what is in what I eat. You can not trust what menus say. I don’t think I am radical, but that mental image of my arteries reacting to the trans fats etc goes a long way to influence my eating habits.
Plus I was raised with a huge garden and all that offered stright out of that garden.
