Very important message to get out there – I’ve been doing a lot of reading/documentary viewing regarding the current state of the agricultural industry (genetic engineering, massive over-production of corn, hideous standards of raising livestock for meat production etc.) and this is a great introduction to these issues.
As a guy who has gone from 335 lbs to 189 lbs I know first hand how addictive the multitudes of horrible foods out there can be – and you can be sure that taking in a healthy number of calories per day while indulging these junk foods is pretty impossible. Sugar is addictive, hook a kid early, and they’re gonna have a hell of a time getting on the right path.
There is a large element of personality responsibility in this, but its really about saying “I’m better than this” – too often the word responsibility inspires shame in people – but it isn’t about that – especially with the food. I look at it as a big fuck you to the greed and corruption of the food industry to be in good shape.
Hopefully some people will look at this vid, understand that they are not terrible lazy disgusting folk just because they are overweight, realize they’ve been screwed by the industry, and find the strength inside to say “no more” – and work towards improved health out of self respect rather than shame. Its the only way that works in the long run!
Great post Joe
