I see people blame their weight and bad health on healthy food not being affordable, yet...

When I swapped out foods for healthier choices, I found myself spending less on my grocery shopping. And then this spirit of taking responsibility and focusing on spending my time and money on that which I know to be the right things spread to other aspects of my life, and things just kept getting better.

No "corporation" held a gun to my head telling me "don't buy that £2.50 box of chicken, buy that £2.50 bag of pastries instead".

And why do these responsibility shirkers, who always seem to be left-wing, think that using the word "corporation" is a magical word that absolves them of all self-responsibility and passes anything negative onto a more successful person? Grow up. You tell me you don't have the time to prepare a 20-minute healthy meal, but have an hour to doom scroll? Grow up. You have an infinite divine potential that you aren't meeting.

It’s personal responsibility I gave up soda lost 20 lbs I started walking the mile to work lost 20 more lbs I gave up the car taking the bus and walking, instead; saved 1200 a month chose to eat better and have far less stress. Fitness health and mood. attitude is the key! choose to be healthy!
Smile more tell jokes be happy. Don’t choose cheap/easy; be positive. The trick is convenience and what ppl are accustomed too. Corporations want profit individuals can choose to let themselves prosper or take the easy path and feed the “corporations”.

@jehova Well done, brother! The only change I'd make is "happy" to "meaning and responsibility".
