Last night I saw this commercial for some diet pill whose claim was “Eat all you want and still lose weight”.
This commercial really hit me in a strange way – it made me sad and angry. Is this what Americans really want out of life? To sit around and stuff their faces all day long? This is sad and depressing. It’s no wonder we are the most obese nation on the planet.
The problem is that we used to have to work for our food (by hunting and farming) and now we don’t. We are more sedentary and have more unhealthy food choices than ever before. This is a scary combination, and commercials like these are contributing to the problem.
