What are your thoughts?
sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

You are 1000% right about all of it. I grew up in the 70s and being fat was an anomaly. There was always just that one fat kid in elementary school. Everyone else was downright skinny. We had long phys ed time outside even when it was cold and snowy. Kids are pampered and lazy now. How to fix it? No clue really but your suggestion to buy good food and cook it yourself is a great start. How did we get here .... slowly. Convenience was peddled in the 50s and women loved it. Companies got addicted…
My (working) mom was a victim of the convenience food movement--lots of shake-and-bake dinners and plastic wrapped (OMG) American "cheese" in my house. You can unlearn all of that, but it takes time and effort.
Too exhausting. Today you can buy "breaded" this-or-that without all that tiresome labor.
