Venting

Diets, cooking programs, weightloss, fat, skinny.... What is this obsession with nutrition? This subject is really getting under my skin and every time I hear something about it, my blood starts to boil and all I want to scream is:'Stop it!'

If someone wants to eat, then eat. If someone wants to diet, then diet! Who cares whether that person is damaging his health even more?!
Where's the uproar about people damaging their lungs by smoking packages of cigarettes each day? Or drinking too much alcohol? Isn't that even worse as dieting or eating junk food even when you're fat?
Why does nobody talk when a skinny person eats junk every day? All you will hear is: 'oh I'm jealous of you that you're not getting fat!'
Are we all dumb? Lacking knowledge that skinny or not, eating junk is bad. And yet we only talk about the fat person eating junk.

When people are dieting all they can do is talk about it. 'I've lost that much..'
Who cares? Why is it such an accomplishment?!
Why is it that people who are happy when gaining weight don't make it such a big deal when they gained?
The reactions of one gaining as surely not the same as one who has lost weight.

If society is making such a big deal of weight issues, then stop the cooking programs, close the junk stores, and make it a law to be healthy and put the unhealthy people in jail. But stop obsessing about it, stop talking about it; instead pick a bigger issue to worry about.

Now all I need to do is breathe in.. and out.
