What the General Public is Exposed to: It Was Easier to Be Skinny in the '80s
No wonder we have mass confusion over healthy lifestyles. This video from last year provides reasons why people are heavier today than in the 1980s based on research from 2015, and it's hard to completely refute some of these reasons because they all have a small element of truth. However, my gripe is that this is a typical hit and run expose providing a bunch of negative reasons and offering nothing in the way of correcting or combating the issue. The likely response from those who aren't skeptical and curious would be to throw in the towel, as the message is there's no way to achieve health and a healthy weight in today's world. Yeah, fat is even glamorous! I say it's irresponsible journalism, but there is no end to these types of "news" reports:
