RE: Parents Too Embarrassed To Bring Their Kids To McDonald's

in #health7 years ago

Great post! The part that stuck out to me the most was this:
"Eating healthy is a great goal for someone to have, and it's one that some feel so passionate about that they in-turn feel justified in getting force involved; to try and make other people submit to their version of what healthy eating should be."
Simply because it's so true, at least for me. I get tired of people telling me what I should and shouldn't be eating or feeding my child (they're often conflicting, so it's almost as if we shouldn't eat at all). I'm an intelligent, grown adult and I'm perfectly capable of "researching" and deciding on my own what I feel is healthy and what is not.
I'm health-conscious, but I'm not a health fanatic. I think it's OK to eat something that's not "healthy" once in a while. Everything in moderation, as I've often heard the oldest living people say as their key to their daily diet.
My grandpa ate crap all the time, never had a health issue and lived to the ripe age of 93, so it also has to do with genetics (I think a lot of people don't like to admit genetics play a role in our health because it scares them).
