"A nutritious diet is not seen as being as important as physical activity when it comes to college students' health and wellness efforts, according to Indiana University researchers, even when the students live in an environment that provides classes, cues and motivation to eat healthily. 'Personal preferences triumph over discipline,' the researchers note."
Really? (forget the "nutritious diet" part and focus on the "eat healthily" part. "Nutritous diet" is some buzzword of no real meaning.)
Who could have seen that coming?
"The students, they say, bring to college the eating habits established at home..."
However, one thing you will not see with almost absolute certainty is parents being held accountable for the nutritional child abuse that results from their bad parenting.
No, they will continue to burden the rest of us with the costs of rescue associated with the diseases of choice these weak-willed college students will develop.
"The findings suggest that school and college health educators should consider providing students with tools to 'internalize that fitness = exercise = healthy food,' and to find ways for them to eat healthy in our grab-and-go world."
Good luck with that, as they are already off to a bad start.
Fitness = training + eating healthily.
Until they realize that, there is no hope.
