After chatting with a couple of friends who were teachers in Australia, I asked a sharp question: how can you tell at a glance how a child's family is? I thought they'd answer the details, the way they spoke, and so on,
Unexpectedly, they answered, "look what they eat at noon."
Although there is no lack of joke here, but it is also a bit true.
Your child's lunch will betray your class
"your weight is a statement of your social hierarchy," Paul Forthell said in his style book. A hundred years ago, obesity was a sign of success, but those days were gone.
Obesity is the hallmark of Australia's middle and lower classes today. Compared with Australia's upper middle class and middle class, the middle and lower classes are four times more obese than the former. "
The crueller reality is that the next generation of the middle and lower classes will not escape the fate of obesity.
Recently, the Australian media ABC visited an Australian primary school.
In this primary school, the obesity rate for children under 12 years of age reached a staggering 67%.
The reason why children are so fat,
Nothing else, just because their parents prepared them lunch:
When you see the picture at first glance, many people subconsciously feel that:
What's wrong with this lunch? There are fruits and drinks and bread, the children can eat full, very rich!
But after a closer look, we can see that such a lunch is actually a "junk food"-
A lot of cheap carbohydrates (biscuits, white bread)
Excess saturated fat (potato chips, all kinds of fried snacks),
Excessive sugar intake (drinks, chocolate bars),
And there is no important nutrient protein (meat, milk).
Although some lunches contain fruit, but the quantity is very small, let alone vegetables.
After filming these photo,
The school, located in Melbourne's Broadmeadows district, is one of the poorest areas in the city, ABC said.
As a result, parents' economic is impartially reflected in their children's lunches.
For the poor, there is no life, only survival.
They often work overtime, stay up late, lack sleep, overeat or eat irregularly; they have no time and energy to exercise and control their diet, let alone their children!
And they are generally not highly educated, but also difficult to have the awareness and knowledge of body management.
As a result, the poor are increasingly overworked, and this obesity can be transmitted to the next generation.
So what kind of lunch is it for rich kids?
ABC again visited a local elementary school in a wealthy area.
Filmed the children's lunch there:
As you can see, these kids' lunches,
First of all, food varieties are rich and diverse, vegetables and fruits account for a large proportion, ensuring the intake of various trace elements and vitamins,
At the same time, the food is rich in protein (eggs, chicken), which helps children develop, while carbon water and fat choose healthier whole grains, unsaturated fats (avocado), and so on.
Finally, these lunches are prepared to take more time and effort, but to ensure the healthy growth of the children.
So in this aristocratic school, children not only have a zero obesity rate, but are also physically stronger.
The difference is because more and more rich people realize that having a healthy body is a priceless asset.
They have time and money to invest in their bodies and children's bodies, they are willing to choose green, organic, low-calorie foods, willing to spend time on fitness, can afford to go to the gym, and hire a personal trainer with a lot of silver.
According to a report on wealth and sports relationships in Australia, those who have more wealth tend to exercise more. Big data shows that the average income of people walking more than 8000 steps a day is higher than 6.4 percent of the population below 8000 steps.
A good lunch, a good body, like luxury goods, mostly belong to the rich class.
Thin is expensive, poor people can't afford it. You and your child are fat because you are poor.
02 in Australia, your figure is your class.
The children's lunch is their business card.
And your body, is your business card.
It reflects your inner qualities, character, habits. In Australia, the easiest way to judge a person's class is to look at TA's figure.
None of the chief executives of Fortune 500 companies are overweight, according to the CCL leadership study.
Think about it, too. Those who have received a good education, have a strong ambition, strive hard, and have a successful career, which is fat and big ears, which is a big belly poop?
You see, Australia's politicians are mostly well-built, gentle people.
And the poor, mediocre, unenterprising crowd, we are more likely to see the belly stool, bloated, rude people.
The British documentary "Seven years of Life" also confirms this fact. The film was followed by 14 children from different classes, recorded every seven years: starting at 7, 14, and 21. Until the age of 56.
This is a complete Reality Show, documenting the lives of ordinary Britons.
One elite couple in the film remained in good shape at the age of 56; professors and civil servants, who had been promoted from the former middle class to the elite, were in good shape.
The men who grew up in the lower class, though handsome and handsome when they were young, ended up almost all of them fat or bald, especially their wives, who were more deformed.
Now this society, fat is very easy, eat more junk food, drink milk tea, eat grill, lie on the sofa while eating snacks while playing drama can be achieved, not much money, and soon can be achieved;
But to be thin and expensive, you have to persevere with perseverance to exercise and suffer from boycott's gourmet temptation. Low oil, organic, cereal food, sports wear devices, gym membership cards, each is time-consuming and expensive.
An especially popular sport among Australia's elite is the Iron-man Triathlon, which costs more than A $100,000 from equipment purchases to training. The company that ran the event commissioned research and found that Ironman's triathlon earned an average annual household income of A $ two hundred and forty six thousand nine hundred and ninety nine. The average income of the triathlon is A $ one hundred and twenty five thousand nine hundred and ninety nine. I can't afford to play without money.
Keeping healthy skinny is not only the needs of the elite in work, social appearance, but also a symbol of income, perseverance, self-discipline, time management and so on.
If you don't manage your body well, how do you manage your subordinates / companies / funds / lives?
03 good figure, is also a kind of strength
A person's figure, before the age of 25, was given by parents; after 25, it was repaired by itself.
People who can manage their own body can often manage their own life and work. On the contrary, behind the bloated figure, may be a mess of life.
Our company vice president, Jack, a native of Australia, is an excellent figure, but he is a handsome guy in his fifties.
He gets up at 5:30 every day and goes to the playground for a run. There was a time to take part in the Sydney Marathon, so he increased his training.
Jack runs one of the company's most important and busiest manufacturing areas, working half an hour ahead of schedule and traveling a lot, never mind his age, but he's as energetic as a young man every day.
It is true that when leaders talk about seniority and competence, they have to work harder. Frequent business trips, flying, train, irregular work and rest, no good physique is unbearable.
On the contrary, one of my Australian colleagues, because of fat, the job has not been promoted. Obesity can really affect one's career.
Once, the leader convened a boring meeting. This colleague is not energetic, especially easy to doze off, listen to fall asleep, the head still from time to time "chicken pecking rice".
In the round table room, he sat opposite the leader, coughed twice, woke up from his sleep and continued to listen. As a result, he got into trouble again, and the leader closed in one by one.
Obesity, the impact of work, the quality of life is also a big discount, what also talk about struggle?
People fight to the end, what is spelled is the body. A good figure is a kind of strength.
04 you have self-discipline hidden in your figure
Figure has to do with time and money, yes, but more importantly, self-discipline and willpower.
As the online comment on "Seven years of Life":
Everyone only sees the superior family conditions and social status inherent in Australia's elite, envies them for having a private gym and a private education, and they take it for granted that they can have a healthy body and a well-proportioned figure. But who saw their self-discipline in diet control, fitness, and so on?
This self-discipline is far stronger than the lower class.
Know that men with six abs and women who stay in shape forever have the discipline and willpower you can't imagine.
Zhong Hanliang once baked his breakfast, only a slice of bread, a few mushrooms.
Guo Fucheng, adhere to more than 20 years of fitness, at least half an hour of running every day. Even out of town, he will be asked to stay in a 24-hour hotel open to the gym. If the hotel does not have a gym, he will bring his own rope and jump rope in the room.
When Peng Yuyan was in a low career, he worked hard for eight months of gymnastics, almost ten hours a day. In order to stay in shape, Peng only ate a boiled meal without any seasoning. With such self-discipline, Peng starred in "Roll over, A letter," and was shortlisted for the best actor in the 48th TW movie Golden Horse Award.
Yan Geling, not only in writing self-discipline, but also in busy work, exercise, swimming and running. While waiting for her friends in the dining room, she didn't forget to lay on the floor as a flat plate support.
Image is a woman's discipline, she says.
It was years and days of steel-like self-discipline that she was in her sixties and remained slim and elegant.
Everyone knows the truth of "keep your mouth shut and keep your legs open", but how many people can do so like them?
A good figure is a struggle.
Not overnight, not intermittent, not a day of enthusiasm, those who yell today to lose weight, tomorrow to shout exercise, mostly just mouth shouting, comfort their fragile heart.
Every fat man has a fragile heart. How can a person who grumbles and complains that he will gain weight after drinking cold water?
Behind a good figure,
Is full of self-discipline and adherence,
If you can't even lose weight,
What else are you talking about?
If you can't control your body,
What else did you say to take control of your life?
Only self-discipline, can boycott live in temptation, overcome inertia, do what you say, and stick to it day after day.
In this class gradually solidified, rising channels narrower and narrower today, only such people, it is possible to cross the class, fight back to the higher class.
Your body hides your self-discipline, and self-discipline can change your life.
Mijima Yukio said, "there is only such a time in life, why not cherish the transient impermanence of the body, to exercise and carve it?"
May you strive hard and carefully carve out a good figure.
You run every step, every drop of sweat, every effort, will let you, don't contribute.
When they take off their clothes, they know why they are so rich.
