I feel like we are living in bizzaro world where medicine and clinical science is considered hogwash. Are mistakes made and has money clouded decisions? Of course. But the foundation is there. If nothing else trust in that.

In an ideal world, sure... but when your work pays 💩, you have only so much hours left in a day and the extra money always comes in handy

Honestly, this is dumb. When you believe something is good for you - being religious or non-religious, it depends on your preference - you naturally want to share with your kids. And even if you don't want teach them about it, it will still influence them. We shouldn't deny that it has to happen and learn a good way to do it instead.

There is no need for billionaires, everything earned over the first billion should be taken as tax and fed into society.

Reminds me of that interview with Gwyneth Paltrow where she said the she starts her day "with a glass of alkaline water with a splash of lemon", which would neutralise any alkaline properties while still in the glass...

I wish society could acknowledge that being obese is not healthy, and accept and welcome people who are obese, without shaming or discriminating. Being cruel to people doesn't make them lose weight, or help them make healthy choices. It is very hard to sustain a lifestyle of self-dicipline, exercise and healthy eating, while you're being bombarded with judgement, disapproval and disgust every day. I was obese through my teens and twenties, and desperately wanted to lose weight. It's hard. It's harder when you have low self-esteem and everyone around you is expecting you to fail.

I'm sick and tired of hearing 'But it's natural sugar!', Yeah it's still fecking sugar and has the same affect. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against sugar (in fact I probably eat too much myself), I'm just tired of people justifying it because its "natural". Asbestos is natural, but that ain't good for you.

I feel sorry for those kids; no privacy at all.

Hopefully, the 40-hour week will end. But we'll always be stuck with unfulfilling jobs.

Quite a few people who never smoked a day in their life starting vaping just because it was the new "cool" thing

I’m a kid who loves to be on her phone, but I try to be outside for atleast 1-4 hours a day

Except under rare circumstances, circumcision is unnecessary. If you want one as an adult then so be it. But do not inflict your choice onto your children.

Teflon for cooking, PET for drinks. Even better, refill PET repeatedly and let it out in the sun. For a nice cup of chemicals and microplastic particles.

TikTok is just a regurgitated Vine. It'll eventually disappear unless it adapts and starts doing longer videos and becomes a competitor for YouTube.

I don't think myself or anyone I know have ever considered energy drinks healthy.

Eat proper healthy foods, stop buying processed, sugary foods and do something physical every day if only just going for a walk...that is a good 'diet'. I never got the keto diet...soooo much fat. I knew someone who went on it, lost weight and felt better, but as soon as she went off the diet, boom.. weight is back...so one has to keep eating all those rich fatty foods forever more? Though I did drool at some of the keto foods and recipes. Also, a tip when shopping, all the healthier food is on the outside of the aisles...stay out of the aisles unless you need baking products like flour, etc..most of it is all processed food.

This! How on Earth do you need a brand new phone every year?

couldn't agree more!!!

seriously why does literal bread need sugar? IT’S BREAD. plus, even things you would expect to be sugary are wayyy too sugary. edit: i have been informed that sugar helps the yeast rise which is interesting but not THAT much sugar

Ironically most essential oil users avoid the oils that actually have some "real" active ingredients like cineol (in eucalyptus oil), menthol (in mint oil) or terpinen (tea tree oil) for being "too aggressive". Also oils should NEVER be used instead of actual medical care.

In Australia it's 9am to 3pm, I was surprised to find out it is earlier in the U.S

Literally no one things soda is healthy.

You could have wheat intollerance, but in most cases it's just a fad.

Nope. Chiropractic care has made living life with three herniated discs bearable. Traditional doctors only gave me opiates, which didn’t help

I doubt this one. The apps and platforms we use will change, but not the habit itself. People are social creatures, first we had penpals, then we talked in forums, then chatroom apps and then BAM social media made things easy. Sure we probably won't use twitter/instagram/whatever 20 years from now, but there will be something.

This will probably never change. Most adults just don’t care about educatiom, because: 1. They’ll never go back to school anyways 2. “The school was torture in my days, so why should anyone have better experience?” 3. “More young with good educations mean higher chance someone will steal my job”

Before the internet, they had TV. Before that, they had magazines. Before magazines, they had radio. As a parent, I can assure you that it is impossible to give kids your undivided attention. If we spent all day with them, the house would be a mess, there would be no food on the table, no clean clothes, and no bills paid. Being a parent is more than playtime.

A lot of people have Botox for medical reasons - like migraines, TMJ, muscle spasms, excessive sweating etc

Anyone on here could be tracked down, so you’d better be nice or someone might find your house… (not me, I don’t have the skills lol)

I agree. "Spanked" my daughter twice in her life. One swift swat on the behind, pants on. Both times she was doing something dangerous and I just reacted. Being hit all the time when I was a kid did not make me a better person, it just made me afraid.

I eat meat, but at every meal? It's not necessary nor healthy. There's many things you can eat, meat is just one of them.

I don’t understand why people like my parents think that meat eaters are equivalent to serial killers. I just had an argument with my mom where she said I’m “cold blooded and have no consideration for the animals”. Humans are made to eat meat and plants. It’s either up to you or your body to decide if you want to be a vegetarian, vegan or non-vegetarian

We are a spoiled society. No one needs to have a single serving waste of plastic to have a good cup of coffee..and the cost!! I yi yi. It is good coffee but the cost to the wallet and environment is a huge nope for me. (Please dont downvote me K-cup drinkers!.😊)

This photo is oddly satisfying

It seems you either went through a difficult childhood or are struggling as a parent (or both), so I'm sorry you had to go through that. However, it's not the same case for everyone. I have two kids, and although they tire me out and cost a fortune, they bring me unbridled joy. I love them more than I thought possible. So, for me, it's absolutely worth it.

juices are so high in sugar, they can't be healthy. and we don't need cleanses, that's what we have a liver and kidneys for.

Setting up my new phone, turned all the various notifications off....then later got a notification that I had notifications turned off.

Researchers are finding a strong correlation between people who use microtransactions (like loot chests) in video games at a young age and people who develop gambling addictions. They're still not sure if early exposure to microtransactions leads to gambling addiction or if there is an underlying predisposition to buying loot chests that will also lead to gambling addictions.

As someone who was diagnosed with this over a decade ago, and is still retraining her body to react normally to normal things, I really hope this doesn't stick around for other unfortunate souls.

I've made the mistake on doing this. What helped is better eating habits and activity that I enjoy (ex. I like to walk & swim).

You'll have to pry my BBQ from my cold, dead, greasy fingers.

I think instead of cutting down on meat, we're just gonna be eating lab grown or plant meat.

Beans are protein. Daal is protein. Just some examples of non-meat protein.

At the start when you said "Meat in general", I thought you were gonna tell people to be vegan or something.

Fun fact, most if not all studies showing that meat is bad for you come from "scientists" who are a specific brand of Christian that says eating meat is wrong.

Culture have been eating smoked and grilled meats for centuries. In some regards, screw science

I'm with you....Pass the bacon!

We're in serious trouble about that. If it were up to me, I'd limit the number of plastic species allowed in food packaging, apply a mandatory colour code to it to make recycling actually possible, and demand an explanation why anything else is used, if some company actually wants to. Then, we hit the sheer minimum required to do this in any useful way, and not just pretend and execute pointless sorting habits as if we were addicted, knowing it won't make much of a difference, if any at all.

you can say that but i’m protecting my bagel dogs till the day i die

Due to allergies, some people are unable to get certain vitamins from food/drink directly. Also, in places like the UK, people get little exposure to sunlight during the winter months, so vitamin D tablets are a great health benefit.
