SO I MET THIS GUY- a scientist.

So I met a guy from a local college, who worked in research at a campus- on intestinal studies. He said that there was so much work to be done, and whomever found a cure for it was going to be very rich.--
"I bet." I said.

They're trying to come up with a pill to cure obesity. A pill. To cure obesity. Because there's so many people in such bad shape. "And nothing is helping them." He said.
I asked him why there are so much additives and junk in our food? I asked him why there's so much GMO in the food and why it's STILL LEGAL for us to be eating that shit? WHY it's ok for the government to keep adding stuff to the food that people eat and poisoning the fuck out of them? He agreed that it's not right. And then he went on to explain that, artificial sweeteners still act in the body to release insulin. They don't work and they're not good for you either.
"I know." I said. "I used to do personal training and nutrition, but I gave up on it. People very rarely want to listen, so I got tired of wasting my breath." It's true. I used to do to that, and even attempted it as a career. I find it a struggle to really get through to people that what they're eating might not be what they think, or even remotely good for them in any way.
"BUT THE PACKAGE SAYS "HEALTHY"!!!" I probably heard that the most. It's common sense people. Do you think someone who is trying to sell you something is going to post on the box "TOTALLY SHITTY FOR YOU, BUT EAT IT ANYWAY!" ??? -_- Really?

So yeah, people don't say that because they're trying to be mean, they say it because it's going to hurt you and fuck up your body chemistry like what was validated for me this weekend. How is this even possible that so many people 'don't know' or 'don't understand' what the fuck is happening here? Well I can tell you a lot of reasons that I won't get into here and now, but just take my word for it or waltz on in to any given Walmart and stay a while. Look around at what people buy, and eat, and how it may correlate to their physical body. I'm just using Walmart as an example due to it's hearty Walmart content. Regular grocery stores can't match it's Walmartiness or low low prices. Just saying.

So yeah, I met this guy. A scientist- researcher looking to cure obesity by helping invent a pill for it.

What the fuck is wrong with the world?
