[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 893008, member: 17713"] People are against sugar tax etc.. Companies like to sell double size portions. I have a friend that circuit trains twice a week, but has all you can eat breakfasts or humongous subways and literally live on takeaways. How on earth can you educate these people? He's been told he not good with food choices. Their kids don't eat a single vegetable and they just pick easy options and save arguments with kids who are also obese. I know that this isn't norm but my goodness if this is what the govt face there really isn't much they can give with incentives!! Even the grandmother just buys them all cakes n sweets etc. Just for an easy life. They just can't see anything wrong. So how can their lifestyles ever change? They will all probBly have good genes n live until 100!!! I suspect they see me lean and eating really healthy to look after myself n say "healthy eating hasn't done her any good !" It does start with lifestyles and living in the families. Childrenbase their adult life's on their childhoods. Its beyond me. I do a fair bit of voluntary work with GP Practice and I can't honestly see what they can do with educating people so firmly set on an easy lifestyle. [/QUOTE]
