My bad.....
Mi Goreng noodles deserve to have their own food group! Mmmmm
My bad.....Onis is 35 inches according to himself
When I was at Uni we all lived on the mi goreng noodles and they had little dried packets of veggies you mixed in them.
We were healthy as.
FAT people are not to blame for being overweight, a top Melbourne academic claims.
Dr Samantha Thomas, who spoke at the annual Castan Centre for Human Rights Law Conference in Melbourne, said the war on obesity was failing because society put too much emphasis on personal responsibility.
"Obesity rates are still increasing because we put all the responsibility on the individual, but are completely reluctant to tackle the corporations that are part of the cause - the junk food companies, the soft drink companies, even the town planners who design new suburbs with no backyards or playgrounds," Dr Thomas said.
what?.. parents are not supposed to be 100% responsible for their children??"Junk food is heavily marketed at children and adolescents but, instead of trying to stop that, we just put all the responsibility on parents."
Think back to the 50's, 3 square meals a day, meat/veg & carbs were the staple. Women were homemakers & child rearers, husbands were the bread winners.
Fast forward to today, where women are career orientated, even after they've made the choice to have children. Food itself is supplied with immediacy & convenience. Day care costs are ridiculous, the cost of living is ridiculous & take away food or 'fast food' has become the 'norm' for many households? Parents are busier & never has there been more pressure to work hard to achieve the lifestyle people desire?
The result? We have the fattest generation of children, ever.
Adults are more stressed out, financially strung out & children are largely raised & educated by our government systems.
Healthcare is strained, mental health is strained & people are fatter.
I think there's a miriad of reasons for this, its not 'just' sugar, its not 'just' fat, its our current lifestyles? A lack of balance? A lack of focus on the basic fundamentals that used to be the norm?
There is no 'answer' to this. But I think the focus needs to be on solutions, rather than 'blame'.
Excellent post. The women's liberation movement made us fat and stressed and doubled the cost of living. They didn't liberate themselves, they enslaved the world.
Not really serious but fuck, I can't fault the logic.

Typical female meddling with things they shouldnt
Back on topic:
Instead of a fat tax, why not make nutritionalist visits tax deductible, or bulk billed? And gym memberships too, except how do you prevent people from not turning up?
take away Maccas drivethru...
no fastfood shops below 5th floor of a building, and only with stair access?
when they eventually make a law in Australia, that you are not allowed to eat junk food in front of "large" people (because it makes them want to eat more).. i'm leaving...I got pizza, delivered. Did I fail?
It was low carb base though. And I ate it whilst transporting 600kg of weights from my car to my garage
Just put an escalator at every Maccas but leave it in down mode so they have to race it to get up.
