I am scared

I'm not perfect.  I do not spell things perfectly all the time or use perfect grammar.  I know this.  However, I am very tired of seeing people want to "curve" their appetites, "loose" weight, etc.  You want to curb your appetite.  You want to lose some weight.  You weighed yourself (not "weighted").  I'm sorry, but I would rather eat a roll since I can't for the life of me figure out how all these people are eating "roles" whether whole grain or otherwise.  You may have "went" to the gym every day this week, but I personally have gone many times.  I have not "drove" there, but I have driven there.  That is just the tip of the rather large iceberg.  It was bad enough when the stupidity seemed limited to individuals and I could hope that it was not going to become too wide spread a problem.  However, today I was reading Fitness Magazine and saw an ad from Blue Diamond nuts that uses the phrase "curve your hunger".  That means that it was approved by 2 large companies, both Blue Diamond and Fitness Magazine.  Upon further research, my husband discovered that Blue Diamond has been running these ads since 2008 or earlier.  I am disgusted and a little bit terrified at the direction this suggests we as a country, as a world, are headed.
