Everything Is Wrong, Part Too-Many-Times-To-Count

A version of this article ran in the local newspaper yesterday.

In our paper, the headline reads "Small Bodies, Grown-up Illnesses."

It's a pretty depressing story.

It's just another-- among oh so many-- way that the world seems to be shouting "hey, you're going about this all wrong!"

The gist:

Huge increases in the numbers of children-- really, kids-- suffering from obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, repetitive stress injuries, anxiety, depression, Type 2 diabetes, and eating disorders.

Kids.

With anxiety, depression, and Type 2 diabetes.

Seriously.

I mean, seriously. We are seriously fucking this whole thing up. As in, getting it very, very, very wrong.

You can't be getting it right and having record numbers of kids getting Type 2 diabetes. And depression. And fucking high cholesterol.

As I have said time and time again, Everything Is Wrong.

There is a better way.

We have to cut it out.

We're killing ourselves. Inside and out.

And we're teaching our kids to kill themselves too. Physically. Spiritually. Emotionally. To kill themselves.

We need to stop this.

Right away.

Now.
