Many of them simply don't know any better. As my username implies, I live in a ghetto, specifically a poor black one. It's cheap housing and good public transportation access. We had a garden this summer. Many of the neighborhood kids, AND THEIR PARENTS, didn't recognize a lot of what we were growing. They didn't know that potatoes come out of the ground, etc. I could go on but I am sure I have just caused a few people's brains to crash and reboot.

In addition to this, they know fuck all about actual nutrition, and what is healthy for you. Pop tarts are fruit, you will waste away without eating meat, and vegetables have to be covered in cheese to be palatable. It is still the fats fault for not taking care of their own education in this matter, but the adults are fucked already, so I don't care about them, but the kids... I do what I can to teach them.
