Your probably wondering why I am making such a statement.
In 2007 in Ontario alone a reported 2.8 million people are living below the poverty line!
This number is astounding, and the thought of knowing I am one of them is hard to swallow.
Sure I do not live on the street, I am lucky I have a roof over my head and cloths on my back, there are many who don’t.
The government is quick to throw every advertisement at you that they can about getting fit, staying in shape, losing weight, getting healthy, eating right and everything that can go wrong if you do not get healthy.
But they are also the ones that are quick to slam the door in your face when you ask for help to get healthy!
I can’t afford a gym membership, yet alone cooking great tasting healthy meals at home.
I am on the poor mans diet, Mac and Cheese, wieners and PB & J.
So how the heck am I suppose to “get healthy” if every time I try to get some form of help a door gets slammed in my face?
My advice to the government and ad agencies all over the world, Shut the hell up!
Unless your willing to HELP those who are willing and able to get the help they need and provide more ways for low income families or single people to go out there and get that help you all need to keep your pie holes shut!
Because the fact is, that with 2.8 MILLION people being poor the odds are that out of that number at least 2 million of them are gonna have some sort of eating problem.
Why because they can NOT afford to live any other way, And you the government are to blame for that.
This is your country, you are suppose to take care of it’s people not make them feel worse for something that very well might be out of their control.
Take it from me, I have tried MANY times to get help with my weight issues and each time a door was slammed in my face because I could not AFFORD to pay for these treatments, and food and pills etc.
