Random Thoughts or Whatever

View attachment 3137569

Nearly two-thirds of people in countries surveyed in Africa, Middle East and Asia-Pacific are optimistic that future generations will enjoy a higher quality of life than they do today.

In contrast, only one in three Europeans and four in ten Latin Americans and North Americans are optimistic about higher quality of life for their children and grandchildren.

That’s because that bright light at the end of tunnel may in fact be a train heading toward you ! Lol
 
The very definition of an intellectually and spiritually impoverished life. That it is self-imposed only makes it worse. If all you seek is validation...bonne chance...
Exactly my thoughts on it. People like that are narrow minded and intolerant of others views and most of them only listen one genre of music.
 
There's no fool like an old fool, that would be me :), and we are all living a life of delusion.

Two excellent songs about fools: one sits beneath an olive tree in the musical  Kismet and another is on a hill (The Beatles).

OBESITY USA.jpeg

Children and adolescents aged 2-19 are also seeing rates surge, rising from 13.9 percent in 1999-2000 to a record 19.7 percent in 2017-2020. According to the latest survey, the prevalence of obesity increased with age among children and adolescents. Where 12.7 percent of children aged 2-5 years were reported as obese in the latest time frame, the figure was 20.7 percent for 6 to 11-year-olds and 22.2 percent for 12 to 19-year-olds. Just some of the adverse effects linked to obesity are an increased chance of experiencing heart disease, a stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer. According to the CDC, when taking into account people who are overweight as well as obese, the share of U.S. adults age 20 and older with a weight issue rises to over 70 percent (2017-2018).

With the increased lack of physical activity and losing oneself in comfort food binges due to the pandemic I would imagine an even greater increase when the next bar is added to the chart.

The continuing increase of our society's systemic problems are no doubt a factor.

In 5 to less than 10 years 50% of adults will be obese. Future exploding medical needs coming soon.
