If you are a Whovian, you know that an Adipose is actually an adorable wide-eyed little critter with one tooth that waddles like a penguin and waves at you. They are a product of the fat they ingest from the host ( in this case humans ). Here is a link you can read about it if you are unfamiliar https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Adipose
Regardless of how you interpret it, the Adipose is your companion for life, some of us just have more of it than others and that would seem like a good thing but in this case, too much Adipose is bad! Americans have let the Adipose pretty much take over their life, not saying that other countries haven’t , but since I live in America, that’s what I know for fact. Our lifestyles now are so different than they were even 40 years ago when I was a kid.
There are more choices at the grocery store. This is good and bad at the same time. Great because you have a variety and won’t get bored with the same selection. Bad because so much processed and junk food full of sugar and chemicals and things to make you crave more and honestly – your body does not need those things, it just likes the feel good feeling they bring.
Way too many fast food places and restaurants. It was once considered a treat to go out to dinner or to get to stop somewhere for burgers and fries. Now it’s common place.
Convenience stores. Yes they are! Got a craving for ice cream at two in the morning? How about a bag of chips or even a pizza?
The way I see it, if we had less choices and less conveniences, it would be far easier to fight the invasion of the Adipose Army. As a society we ( and I am just as guilty as the rest of you ) love our sugar, chips, hamburgers and fries. We love that we can hop in the car no matter what time of the day or night and drive to the nearest store and give in to our cravings. We are so inherently lazy because we don’t have to work hard to get what we want.
I tend to enjoy the meals I make at home much better now than the ones I get at a restaurant. I’m actually kind of wary about those outside meals – being on a Keto diet, I want to know exactly how that food is prepared and I’m 99% sure my wait person isn’t getting paid enough to care.
Well, here’s to everyone and their Adipose companions, may you walk in peace together!
