I agree.  I grew up in the late 90's/early 2000's and it wasn't shoved down my throat as much.  There were plenty of teachers who taught that"life is unfair.".  My parents also instilled a hard work ethic in me.  Work hard, don't give up, keep trying.  I also surround myself with people who will call me on my bullshit.  Which is why I hate fat people so much, because I work so hard to stay thin,work out, and meet my other life goals. While, they just stuff their face with whatever they like!  Of course I would love some cake, or chips, or soda, but my calorie budget only allows for so much a day and I don't want to become one of those pieces of shit.
