Your comment makes me feel mixed feelings.
First, I think generally speaking, we do live in a time and society where people can be and are healthier than ever before. I agree with you, that it should be a priority to further improve that situation.
Some of your points however (e.g. glasses, jawline, beatiful, well rounded) sound like you are confusing modern beauty standards with good health.
As someone who really enjoys wearing glasses, I am also a tiny bit offended by your view :) And kids seeing well with glasses vs not seeing sharp is an absolute no brainer to me... There are glasses for doing sports too.
The main driver of poor health today, imo is inequality. Being healthy is a privilege. While, generally speaking, illness does not care about your net worth, treatment options do. Eating healthy is expensive in terms of money and time. So are healthy hobbies, physio therapists and so on. Living a healthy lifestyle should not be better rewarded but more accessible. |
