Obesity and the military

[ziggy]

I'm continually amazed at how little people care about their health these days. It's as if there is some type of glory and elevation in status to be perpetually obese, sick and on medication. And with the adults not caring about themselves and unwilling to set a good dietary example for their kids we wind up with fat sugar and bread fueled kids who are unfit for service.

grossly underestimate people's laziness. we've had it so good, for so long, with everything we could ever possibly want at our fingertips, that there's absolutely no incentive to try to better oneself physically or intellectually. people don't want to stick with something long enough to realize the health and mental benefits that exercise provides.

fwiw i also still like bread. a lot. and beer.
