We live in a world where it is completely the norm to worry about what we put in our bodies but worry very little about what we throw in our minds. We think a hamburger is bad but a celebrity gossip magazine is completely harmless. As children you never hear “don’t put that garbage in your mind, ” but for our body counterpart it is common thread. There is something very wrong with this scenario. . Evan Sutter
About This Quote

Children are warned not to take medicine because it will make them sick. We are told to avoid getting too close to the TV because it will rot our brains. We are warned not to take drugs or alcohol because they can stunt our growth. But, one of the most important things we learn about as kids is that what goes into our bodies is way more important than what goes into our minds.

We are told not to eat food that would make us sick but we are encouraged to read trashy magazines that will make us feel bad about ourselves. Something is wrong with this society.
