In many cases, they are taught this and really don't care. I taught classes in "Healthy Living for Chronic Conditions," a program created at Stanford U, and was really surprised at the resistance to nutritional information. Young women with little kids listened attentively and took notes, but fat guys who needed help to walk across the room could not be convinced to even try something new.
One of those fat guys, in his twenties, had an absolutely astonishing rich voice and I suggested he go to local community college (free) and take courses in radio presenting/announcing. You should have seen the look on his face. Terror. Oh no, he said. He was happy collecting government benefits and playing video games.
Hard to know how to untangle that mess. I got fed up and quit teaching, though I made some good friends there--other teachers I'm still in touch with. They've all quit the program.
That’s why the Marines are always Marines. It is very hard. The harder it is, the more you respect yourself and what you have done.
The “that was easy” button being pushed by hildabeast was sooo apropos. Enslaving, literally enslaving.
