Why are there so many overweight and unhealthy people? Why can’t people just not over eat, especially with all the starvation on this planet? Why are people so easily led by these corporations loading our food with sugars and salts. Why do people just sit back and smoke their cigarettes all day long....I don’t understand how so many people are so unaware, so disconnected to anything natural. Why are we so easily led into such unnatural and unhealthy lives?
It is just so frustrating...I know that it shouldn't let it bother me, some days it doesn't, but it's everywhere, it's the people I love and strangers on the street. Does this bother anyone else?

these answers prove my point exactly. I asked the same question in Society in Culture....it's obviously a touchy subject in "health and diet". It's not about age, its about being aware. This is where deep breathing and meditation has gotten me, its not about being better then everyone else...its about choices.

You must be young and idealistic, because you certainly don't understand how the world works yet. Sorry, but by the way you worded your extended question, its obvious to me that you just want to complain. Do you really want to know the answers?
If you want to know the answers, you need to take a print out of everything that you have just put down here and show it to your parents. If you don't want to do that, then take it to a doctor. Then show it to your teachers. Then show it to a cop. Then watch the evening news, where you will see all kinds of murder, despair and senseless violence. If you really want to know the answers, then go live in another country and truly open your eyes to the truth.
You have made judgements about people on Y!A, and most probably you do it here, because no one else will listen to you. I suggest you do some deep breathing and meditation. This will help you to stop getting so excited about things that don't have anything to do with you. And, like that old saying says: "If you can't say anything nice about someone, don't say anything at all."

People can be stupid, that's why. LOL I know problems with food can come from a mental state, like depression. It can either cause over eating or not eating at all. As the human race "developed", with new technology we think we're getting "smarter", when in reality we're getting stupider. (see? "stupider" isn't even a word! LOL) But it means more computers, more jobs that only require us to sit on our *** all day, and then because we HAVE to entertained, food is a form of entertainment for most people. So we'll sit and play video games, while eating chili nacho supreme, and not buring off those calories. lol How I wish it was like back in caveman times where food was ONLY a source of survival.

people are easily led, like the factory farm cattle that they eat. Products of our environment. I'm not sure if you should expect anyone to change...people just aren't very smart...."fun short lives" that some talk about, it just doesn't make any sense....its all fake...but some will be content with that. Just be true to you.

I would rather live a short fun life than a long boring one so that is why I smoke and drink and eat whatever I want. I am not overweight I am actually underweight but I still eat whatever I want to and sleep in.

I know, I know.... You're totally right. Only I wonder "why are there so many nasty people out there who are so concerned about other people's belt sizes and lung capacity when they could be worrying about how to feed all of those starving people who are being starved by people just as nasty as themselves?"

its not as easy as you make it sound. people dont think "im going to over eat today! i love over eating, it makes my stomach hurt all day long, yay!"
people can become addicted to anything.
but SOME people, are so amazing the way they just dont care. the way they are able to just enjoy life, and eat what they want, and do what they want because it makes them happy. more people should be like that. i think it frustrating when other people care about what other people are eating or smoking, or doing to themselves.
