On the subject of fatties , I have left the sticks for a uk city break and 2 things are marring my otherwise wonderful time.
One is the amount of obese children and I mean rolls of fat/cellulite and huge stomachs on under 16 year olds, that it used to take decades to achieve. Its not the exception, it is the norm. Obese adults as well everywhere with average sized people being in the minority and usually over 60.
The other thing that made me sad/ angry in equal measures was seeing the huge, huge problem of phone addiction with every 2nd person walking glued to their phone, nearly every mother with baby glued to their phone, every meal out surrounded by families ,children and couples glued to their phones. Or worse parents/grandparents glued to their phones ignoring the children at their side.
We may be fed climate change fear, covid fear ,colc fear etc but these 2 things are very real ,very damaging and very much here and now!!
Nobody seems to care, even people walking their dogs are stuck on their phones.
I feel children are being let down massively.
I feel the cult of stupid is becoming the majority.
I felt despair watching these hugely obese families laden with fizzy pop blindly queuing up to self checkout and even pay with their phones.
Why should I care you say.
I may offend you say.
Maybe some people need to be offended before the future is fooked for the next generations.
2 comments on today's madness that I read yesterday;
"The general impression of law, government, diplomacy, healthcare, education and even science and industry is one inherited from a time of sanity which no longer exists."
"I have one for you, "the craziest person in a room filled with crazy people is the one who walked in sane." Such is the plight for those residing in reality."
