But as we have already grown to adults who are capable of thinking for ourselves, we should already make it a point to decipher the ideas and concepts that are real and which ones are merely imaginary.Fact is; many adults have become so used to eating well and eating too much when they were still young to the extent that even in their adult stage, they have already adapted the practice of eating too much.
