Man, you do have a way to explain complex things in simple ways for everyone to understand. Good work.
Perhaps we should add (although I don't if it is a thing in Finland, It would seem it is) the influence of the wealthy in politics. Perhaps some corporation doesn't want this trend to change, because it's good money to have uneducated people so they can eat all the adictive shit you are selling to them. So you fill a few pockets with money, masking it as campaign donations and there you go. It's even a science to calculate flavor in order to make the brain sustantial slaves to your product. As long there are big bags influencing that I don't think anything is going to change. You would have to go on a massive self consciousness trip to change it personally and since that hurts like hell (despite the infinite rewards) we can't expect most people to do it... unless, early education.
Is like that phrase says "It's easier to grow healthy children than to mend broken adults" and the trend you explain seems to agree with it. The problem just worsens as they grow. Add some mindfullness, some meditation and some REAL philosophy (This meaning NOT JUST learning about how a few people thinked but more about how to think on our own) and the amount of brainwash and food addiction will drop extremelly. What the minister of education is doing? Perhaps what's most profitable. But I would argue it's most profitable to a nation everyone's wellbeing because taxes are bigger with healthy people willing to take risks. So... why isn't it done? because is not profitable to corporations. That or... ignorance. But I wonder if that is still a thing in this year and age.
The trick is explaining it in a way that I can understand it. I am simple! :D
The food industry is one thing - the Pharmaceutical Industry is something completely different. In a place like Finland where healthcare is heavily subsidized, the sicker people are, the more governments will pay for their medications and treatments. It is a multi trillion dollar industry.
The lessons kids really need, they aren't getting.
Indeed. THis is what the entire government does.
