Where is this Carb Crazy World coming to?

[soysycophant]

hi everyone! wasnt sure where to put this post, i wanted to try the health forum but i didnt really think this was specifically about MB, and not really a question either. I just wanted to start a discussion about why the western world goes trhough these strange fad diets like fat free and VERY low carb? why dont ppl realize that carbs might be your artery clogging monsters in some foods but also your best friends in many others? why cant society see the difference between steamed sweet potatos and deep fried potatos? and why does everyone at my school and many other high schools trying to lose weight eat tiny amounts of junk instead of healthy amounts of nutritional food ?(including the teachers ) what drives this world to take weight off the hard way when diets like macrobiotics are effective AND healthy? dont starve, eat TOFU!
i hope i'm not coming off too angry, im just a bit confused. why do u guys think this is?

Mira,

I think we all go through that phase of "we've discovered IT, why can't the rest of the world see IT??" and then make attempts to influence our friends and family, and yes, even strangers. And then try to restrain ourselves when we see it doesn't work so easily.

Some of us end up working in the field, and influencing SOME people to different degrees.

But I think the most important thing is not to worry about others, as spending your energies on trying to change others can deplete your own energies. The most important thing is to continue developing on your own path. No one else can do it for you, just as you can't do it for others. But it is lovely to find others who share your joy - much better to be just focused on the positive, if you can.

so keep up the good work.
