HEALTHY LIVING

Recently, healthy living has become a major craze in the UK (and no doubt in other countries too). The government’s “recommended daily amount” statistics are popping up on food items and such, “warning” us of too much sugar in a day or something. So by going over the recommended daily amounts, what would happen? Would I die? Would I explode? Not really. Sure, if I did everyday for maybea year or so I might notice something. But initially, they’re just a ploy to make us feel guilty for stuffing our faces. Which is healthy anyway. It’s better than being stick thin, right? This seems to be Britain’s perspective of “healthy”. I’d like to meet someone like this who was healthy. Or mentally stable.

Also, a large number of “fitness” DVDs are available, with ex-celebrities and false celebrities (celebrities that have no talents, and are famous through someone else. See any footballer’s wife or girlfriend. Some of them are even getting their own shows on television) exercising along with some professional fitness trainer. Why does this appeal to someone? What is appealing about someone who shouldn’t be cared about jumping up and down on the spot, when we could and SHOULD just go outside and do it for free? Why sit in the confides of the living room, which has CAUSED us to be unhealthy anyway, jumping up and down until we get worn out and watch television instead? It’s terrible.
