Is healthy becoming unhealthy?

I want to start off with models, now what is the purpose of models? To sell clothes, to make Britain’s peoples’ clothes look good, good enough to sell to Britain’s people. So why is that the models don’t represent Britain’s people? Now obviously they want to set a good example, so okay don’t make the models 20-30 stones that Britain seems to becoming but that doesn’t mean, you give Britain’s people an unreachable goal of becoming the size of these models.

Nowadays when we look at models, we don’t see a reflection of ourselves in those clothes but rather a skinny “better” looking person wearing the new-in-thing.

Some want to become these air-brushed “people” so they push themselves too hard, they starve themselves striving for “perfection”. But what happens when the unreachable dream is suddenly realised to be exactly that, they punish themselves, life is no longer optimistic and your friends, your family, all of their concerns and worries aren’t valuable anymore, your ambition, your dream is no more.

Exercise. Some families cannot afford to spend hours upon hours outside with their children, having to do couple of jobs, a few jobs, parents can’t afford to spend hours running and dancing about in the park. Instead parents are worried and working towards keeping a roof over their children’s heads. Football practice costs a lot to put their children in, but just set a good example (don’t let them smoke weed).


Diet. We are told go here and you can get all of this for this amount of money, once a week maybe? But constantly having mum or dad in the kitchen doesn’t always work. People get fed up, cooking then becomes a chore, that cheap microwavable meal or cheap frozen dinner is easier to cook. These adverts for healthy eating just seem like snobs and the drive for the children’s good healthy food is lost.
The bar is too high for our Britain, 500 people all fighting over 1 job should tell us that every minute, every pound is valuable and until the government realises that not through choice but through simple math (whether we’re counting minutes or pounds) we are going to keep picking the unhealthy, cheaper option.
An unreachable dream soon becomes an unwanted dream,
Being healthy is becoming unhealthy
