Source: Kuwait TimesJan.儲存倉 15--I had a nice argument today with many people at work. It was a good argument and a good topic -- food. Who does not love food and especially chocolates? Many of our editors argued that the chocolate and sweet displays in many co-ops, supermarkets and grocery shops are the main reason for people's over consumption of sweet delights. Eating too much chocolate for many will result in diabetes or obesity. Are we right to blame a nice display and marketing for our weaknesses?I resent this idea totally. A nice display has nothing to do with my choices of what to eat and how much to eat. One of our American editors was adamant that a nice display seduces people to eat chocolate and candies. She said that when she walks into a supermarket and sees all the chocolates -- Mars, Kit Kat, Twix, Hershey's, Lindt or Ferrero Rocher in gold wrapping and box or another in silver and shiny wrapping -- they seduce her. Forgive me if I forgot some other sweets, but they are on every corner and in every co-op.I disagree with this totally. A good marketing display is important. It is part of the job of these people to have a nice display. It is up to me and my self-control whether to buy that shiny-looking bar or a box of chocolate and munch on it. It is also my will whether to behave and take a small piece and leave the rest for other days.Our friend went as far as to link diabetes in kids to the chocolate displays. I think it is a bit o迷你倉最平 an exaggeration. Diabetes is related to the way of life. It matters what their lifestyle is and if you allow children to eat junk food. It matters if you do provide them with enough vitamins, healthy food and salads. The rule of eating can be broken.What matters is if we have a sedentary lifestyle. It is not only about the food. It is also about exercise. If you do not train kids to swim, walk, play football or basketball or to play at home together, they will instead sit in front of the TV and swipe their iPads, phones and PlayStations. This is not good for their brains too, and not just their muscles. I am not a doctor but there are many other reasons for diseases like this -- not enough oxygen in the air or pollution.What we can do is educate our kids about healthy lifestyles. It is a collective thing related to the community -- the home, the school and the society. For me the home is the base ground. It is important what parents teach their children to eat. Then comes the role of the school. It plays a big role. What education do we give these kids? The third role is of society. Are there a lot of activities and do they have places and parks to practice sports?My dear friend, let's not blame the chic display in the supermarkets for our obsessions and weaknesses.
