Last weekend was the folk festival at the town of Wimborne, I went to the singing on the Friday night, then was involved in the morris dancing during the day, attending various workshops out of interest - on the Saturday and Sunday evenings there were concerts I would have liked to attend, but I took my daughter and son in law and they were too tired to last the course both days.
They do realise that their diet is very heavy in carbs, but they seem to be addicted to them even though they do not give them the support one could hope for. They go on calorie reduced diets from time to time to lose the weight they gain.
We only get one life, it seems a pity to waste it just by putting the wrong fuel into our bodies.
I find it simple and easy - now that I have the energy back, to shop cook and eat low carb. I just add in a portion of something with carbs for my husband and he seems happy.
It is fine for someone else to eat junk - but I would never join them, in their folly - I do feel that there are people who just want to be looked after and use emotional blackmail to get their way.
