UK: Obese woman blames government

[Kidlicious]

Ignoring the suffering of others because such things don't happen to you is probably your biggest mistake.

Since you're the one who does that you should take your own medicine. You think women HAVE problems, men ARE problems. I don't deny women have problems. That's your strawman.

[AAAAAAAAH!]

I didn't mean that no one ever worked a 16 hour day. Look at the context. My point was simply that kentonio was exaggerating. The only reason to make that point is that kentonio thinks that men are privileged, which they aren't.

Interesting choice of a third person pronoun.

I'm honestly curious what people think the solution to a problem like this is. ("The mother should stop being such a turd" is, btw, not the correct solution, because it will demonstrably not happen.)

The "problem" is that this woman exists... apparently.

[Kidlicious]

You know why I'm mad? Because you've become ****ing boring! It's the only thing you talk about, and you never shut the **** up about it! At least when you were just crazy you were interesting, but now its just BLAH BLAH FEMINISTS BLAH all the ****ing time! Just get a new ****ing tune for crying out loud!

Like I said, all you do is ***** about people's privilege. Bored? Too ****ing bad *******.

[kentonio]

Be more interesting ****. Also work more.

also, have any of you grocery noobs ever bought fresh fruit before?

Yes. It's cheap, but not as cheap as vegetables.

Fruit can be expensive but when in season or on special it's pretty damn reasonable.

Fresh or frozen veg are dirt cheap. Ditto potatoes, rice and beans.

Eating healthy is cheaper than eating crap. It just takes a little bit more effort in the kitchen to prepare it.

Natural selection resolves most such problems in the long term.

As someone who recently switched from eating crap to eating healthy (over the summer), I disagree.

Also, people who have experience with facts disagree.

“This research provides the most complete picture to-date on true cost differences of healthy diets,” said Dariush Mozaffarian, the study’s senior author and associate professor at HSPH and Harvard Medical School. “While healthier diets did cost more, the difference was smaller than many people might have expected. Over the course of a year, $1.50/day more for eating a healthy diet would increase food costs for one person by about $550 per year. This would represent a real burden for some families, and we need policies to help offset these costs. On the other hand, this price difference is very small in comparison to the economic costs of diet-related chronic diseases, which would be dramatically reduced by healthy diets.”

Eating healthier is NOT cheaper.

Case closed.

Honestly you guys, it takes little more than a simple google search to prove you wrong... almost always.

Current demographics say otherwise.
