It's still up in my dentist's and doctor's office - ridiculous.
Yes, that is quite true as well. Portion size at restaurants are large which I am fine with, hey you're going out to eat and paying quite a bit, no problem with it filling you up and it should taste great. But, portion sizes at home or your packed lunch at work, where you should do the vast majority of your eating, should be much smaller. Don't need to eat until your overly stuffed every time.
It's not just sugar, but modified wheat that our bodies cannot process. The wheat that was ate even a hundred years ago is vastly different than it is today. Two pieces of white or whole wheat bread cause a higher insulin spike (fat storing hormone) than ice cream, yet the US pyramid of health says that 40% of what you should eat should be grains. That 40% should be non-starchy vegetables.
Haha good point!
Ultimately it comes down to better education and for doctors and the health industry along with major food corporations to stop producing and promoting bad foods and habits. We've known for a long time that sugars, sweeteners, and complex carbs are bad for you. However, the health industry says just eat wheat based products instead of flour, nonfat products (which is another marketing deception by the industry - pointing all the blame on fat when we should be reducing carbs and processed food), and just look for those foods that say zero sugar which are full of, just as bad, sweeteners. These are all things you have to dig to find when it should be taught in schools. Obesity in the US is a major problem. The produce section of the grocery store is probably at most a 1/4 of the store yet look at the aisles and aisles of wheat/flour and sugar filled products.
So personal responsibility, but also better education and correct healthy promotion is the solution. Once people stop buying these, essentially poison filled products, the food companies will fall in line, but they have such a stranglehold on the marketing and are in bed with the health industry it's very hard to overcome.
Doesn't sound silly at all. I feel this way every time I have to go to the post office.
It's a great answer!
Couldn't agree more. Good luck on your journey.
Rocky (1976) is a big one for me too. Especially the scene you have marked in round 14. Rocky gets decked scrambling to get up, music blaring, cut to Adrian, Micky telling him to stay down, and he gets up asking for more while Apollo shakes his head - extremely emotional and great scene.
I don't know about most, but during Life of Pi (2012) when that damn tiger doesn't look back and say goodbye with the voiceover talking about his father and saying goodbye to loved ones/letting go in life and the music flowing I found it to be extremely moving and emotional.

Most of us tend to exaggerate it too.
Drink coffee in the morning
I started re-watching Gargoyles. I like some cartoon movies too.
Haha looks like I was in there two years ago asking the same question.
That's what I always hear, but starting to think it's more like that movie Simone with Al Pacino. Mods say he is alive and well, but in reality he's been long gone and just a fake entity.
Where's Jim!? Is he still alive?
YIKES
What's your review, did you watch it?
I got the sense that she had been kicked out multiple times and this has been going on for 10 years. Deb had taken her to detox what 14 times? So when we are introduced it seems it was supposed to be the final straw, can't let her back in, which she does anyway. We learn that the last time she was at the house was a year and a half ago. The film doesn't let us know when she was first kicked out or how long she stayed in previous encounters over those 10 years. At some point she had to try and cut her off because she was not getting better. I don't think Deb was a bad parent, she was at the end of her rope emotionally and after a decade of trying to get her daughter help was exhausted of options.
While I agree there is no free lunch nor are they entitled to anything (besides basic respect for other people) it's not your place to try and "harden" others you view as soft by picking on them. The world will do that on its own.
This is probably a too generalized question and context matters. Are you actively going out and picking on people you view as soft for your greater good mentality or are these people you interact with daily and just providing a different viewpoint?
Probably not, but things were better before social media.
