Very true. Sugar is added to pretty much every processed food or in larger amounts than it used to be. An interesting book on the topic is “salt sugar fat”. It’s focused on the American food processing industry but it applies anywhere really. Details how formulations are fine tuned to deliver the best experience using cheap ingredients that are not filling but are addictive and give good feelings.
Interestingly with the rise in factory processed foods the amount getting back to the farmer has reduced (a lot) while processing companies have flourished.
There really isn’t anything at a gas station that is going to be good for a person if they eat it frequently.
For myself and several others on the farm we have inadvertently become intermittent fasters without trying. It just fits the dairy farm schedule better to eat dinner then eat nothing till mid day. Dinner is sometimes optional too. Reduces the snacks and I don’t think about food all the time.
Daughters a teacher and sport comes low on the corriculm agenda and its not competative, as no one can be seen to loose

You get fat slowly, a few extra calories every day and you gradually put the extra weight on over months and years, but unfortunately it also comes off as slowly as you put it on so you need to play the long game if your planning on changing your size.
What do you do!?

Poorly nourished for FFS they were grossly over nourished and until society recognises that instead of blaming all and sundry we will never gets over this problem!

We try and encourage our kids to keep active, youngest is easy she’ll go to any kind of activity. Already does dancing, gymnastics, after school PE Club and swimming. Eldest is a bit more difficult and has to be dragged away from the Xbox but goes swimming and will do the after school PE when it’s on.
I felt like a hypocrite though trying to get him to do fitness activities and been over weight and unfit myself! I made the decision to lead by example so started going to boxing fitness classes (both kids will also come and join in). I cut out the excess crap and pretty much stopped drinking and I’ve dropped over 3 stone in 20 months and I’ve never felt better.
Only the other day I carried the youngest up stairs (she’s just over 3 stone) and I thought to myself, fek me I was carrying this all the time not that long ago! You don’t realise how much effort it takes to carry that extra weight when you’re doing it all the time.

You need to look up the definition of ‘nourishment’.

You should give them a glass of milk to sup
Keep sheep and lamb them on your own,
I put the weight on over the year, and loose it all over lambing, and feel so much better for it, its only a stone but it changes you life

I tend to lose a stone at lambing time , it’s keeping it off that’s the problem

the biggest issue today is the total lack of exercise so much crap is talked about low this low that. The truth is sugar consumption has dropped off a cliff it is less than half when I was a kid 60 years ago.
sugar is an appetite suppressant and possibly it would be a big help if we ate more , except it is not good for teeth.
one major issue is that appetite is promoted by eating or drinking anything sweet , the problem is that after this dose of zero calory s**t there is no sugar hit to tell the body enough is enough , so you keep chomping through that Mcdonalds/ KFC / hot dog/ or any other unhealthy possibly low, salt/sugar organic /vegan ultra processed s***e from a mega factory

That's extreme dieting, used to do the same myself either through lambing or shearing. You can't expect townies to go through that level of exercise, they'd need to run around the park for hours and hours to come close.
