Honestly, I think people should be more concerned with what they're putting in their bodies like all the colorants, additives and artificial flavorings in a lot of foods. That's something to really be concerned about now.....but nope...people keep loading up on all those little Debbie snacks.

Because the other stuff is nowhere near equivalent.

There are people who appear to be obsessed with this on Instagram. I follow some vegan people who seem to eat only anything that is natural (supposedly). But you're right in that it's useless to wear a mask on a walk then go eat crap food or drinks. Who cares about heart disease or obesity as long as you don't get covid.

Getting a stomach virus, flu or strep throat can be pretty darn bad.

Those are the people who should wear masks. Same with smokers. They are high risk for severe covid due to their lifestyle choices.

Hence why I said food choices should be more of a concern for people right now. If they can improve those choices, they can improve their overall health and less risk of being severely impacted by a virus like Covid.

They are often different sets/types of people.

Most people I see in masks are pretty fit.

On the other hand people rather discuss people who wear masks or are religious dieters than people who are grossly overweight and continue consumption of high in fat and sugar food.

Now I don’t think it’s good idea to discuss anybody’s personal choices, but if we are at it… what is worse?

Well, that brings up another good point. Everything is so backwards, the folks who are obese are the ones who probably should be wearing the masks and the ones who are wearing them likely would be just fine without (unless they are immunocompromised of course)

What a generalization to say that most people you see wearing masks are generally pretty fit.

Most people I see wearing masks are when driving through places like Roxbury and mattapan.

Two crocodiles flew one blue the other to Africa.

What did you want to say?

I do not drive through Roxbury or Mattpan often so I do not have your insights. I suppose more people died there due to higher density and they are still scared.

I describing my observations, including during my travels to other places in US and outside.
