Motivation & inspiration to eat & exercise better? Nope. To make real progress, we need better investment to understand the biology of food intake; we need structural changes in society to fix privilege & food insecurity; we need to acknowledge that body weight is not a choice. https://twitter.com/BBCr4today/status/1281851866620600321

Don't get me wrong. Motivation & inspiration are good & all. But it is smacks of middle class privilege (I raise my hand). Lack of privilege leads to poor choices or, more often than not, no choices. We need to check our privilege before accusing others of lacking motivation

For many, the ‘healthy’ option is simply not affordable or convenient. If you have less money & you really haven’t the time or any idea how to quickly assemble a meal, from scratch, to feed the kids, then you are going to have to make the choices that you have to make.

Make the healthy choice the cheaper, more convenient and easier option & we're on our way to fixing the problem. This is something that society, with the right political will, should be able to solve. Tupac said ‘They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor.’ Amen to that.
