Why is it that in every party,celebration,etc that I go to has all junk food.And not healthier picks?

In my 6th grade promotion for snacks we had cookies,soda,and all that other junk?Why is society so unhealthy nowadays?It’s like people don’t even care anymore.People just go for the taste of food but not the nutrition and quality.Our society is horrible!When I go to the grocery store, I see numbers of people with so much junk food in their cart.1 had like 4 12packs. of pepsi and coca-cola.And 5 bags of chips or other snacks.Not for a party,but for their family.Not one natural food in their cart.People like this will die very early.I mostly blame the government and peoples laziness.Their too “tired” to cook so they go to their kids and ask if they want to eat at McDonalds or something.And an obvious yes makes the family drive to Ronald McDonald’s Obesity kitchen.Can someone give me serious answers?

you’re SO right and I hate that.

If you came to a celebration at mine you wouldn’t get junk food.
People are so lazy, they eat chips chips, crappy dip like cheese and mayo and junk from a can and more chips. And bagels and pizza. And they consider it real food.
And any vegetables and the bog standard very boring vegetable platter- raw baby carrots, pieces of unpeeled nasty celery and old pieces of raw cailiflour, it’s SO boring, they must have NO imagination.

Furthermore, when you see those people in the Smart N Final type sipermarkets they all buy huge cases of bottled water, like thansk, more plastic.

Personally I think people who buy and eat that way should get to go anywhere nice on holiday- they don’t contrubute to a nice planet, they only create MORE plastic, junk and pollution, like seriously, do you recycle guys? No I don;t think so, so when they hav e a weekend off, they should only be allowed to look at a dumpster, bvecause that’s what they helped to make- trash.

They are lazy, simple as.

But they’re not too lazy to go out and get the food- so what is easier, get in the car, hassle yourself and lug heavy cases of bottled water and bags of cheetoes upstaris, or make a hige rice salad with cheaper rice you have at home?

I’d be ashamed to serve my guests chips and coke.
And McDonadls isn’t even cheap, when you add up what you get, it’s actually very expensive.

They are dumb, stupid and lazy, and it makes me angry they are the simgle biggest demographic that is ruining the planet-

plastic, fast food, junk food, never give anything nack to the earth,m only take from it. never restore old things, only buy new, only drive and pollute, never clean the air by walking or cycling, always throwing rubber and plastic out.
These are the same people that buy plastic bags to put their trash in too, I bet- and use double plastic bags to take their biought plastic bags in a non recycled cardboard box home, then throw the double plastic bags in the trash.

These people are the trash of the earth. I’d rather have the taliban walking around as long as the respected the planet.
