Junk Food and Sweets Staple Diet
19 01 08 - 08:11 For British children, junk food and confectionary are not special indulgences that they are occasionally allowed, but rather the norm. A survey found that children do not regard such unhealthy consumption as being any kind of “treat” and they are so used to eating such fatty and sugary delights that anything nutritious no doubt seems odd to them.link
Parents’ apathy, combined with feelings of guilt (and exhaustion) over not being at home for their children while both mother and father are at work, are making this situation endemic in the west. Brits are reportedly more keen on fast food even than Americans however. There is something about the Brits that makes our people detest the idea of the “nanny state” or any expert advising us to take care of ourselves. People here seem to almost want to scoff the wrong foods, smoke and lounge around watching mindless TV as a way of spiting those who tell them to get up off their arses.
This amounts to a psychological condition like a sort of death-wish. People are losing the will to live and simply want to indulge themselves for comfort and convenience while they exist in meaningless lives from day to day. They lack a sense of purpose in their lives. This is what happens when people live in a cultureless society that promotes individualism. People need to feel that they are part of a greater whole so that there is more pleasure in life than consuming.
