hi,

i am also 16 and was diagnosed at 14 with PCOS nd until reading this i had never actually considered it to be related to the sudden weight gain i experienced over these two years. I will definately look into this. and goodluck with your weightloss journey! :)

Yes its only recent but our nation has been told about it a lot lately. I'd say this is because more people are living sedentary lifestyles with tecnology though thats world wise. In Australia it seems only recent that schools and parents recognise the importance of anlysing food labels with recent media reports and news bullitens. I'd say theres a whole generation here that haven't been informed on the need to be active and lead healthy lifestyles or how to go about them, either that or they dont have time and like most countries they people here are very fond of the convience that comes with fast food.

 

And i agree, see the human flaw is that we make our choices based on taste and given this, for many people sugar tastes better than say veggies. Thats why i say that if there were less sugary foods on the shelves the next generation wouldn't know any better.

 

And im not sure about the communism arguement.

And of course everything is okay in moderation, I would just be more likely to consume better foods moderately than fatty and sugary ones if juk fod did not exist.

 

thanks for your reply :)
