Women do this better than men

Did you know that women tend to eat more healthfully than men? And that women are more likely to choose foods to benefit their overall health and/or select foods for a specific health purpose (e.g. digestive health)? After the somewhat frustrating news Martha gave us about the difference between men and women when it comes to fitness, I'm glad to hear women have an edge somewhere.

According to a recent research study, both genders believe that nutrition plays an important role in health, but women came out on top in all categories studied. For example, 53% of women choose foods to benefit overall wellness, compared to 46% of men.

So c'mon guys ... consider it a challenge. Maybe by the next time this subject is studied, you'll have closed the gap.

Is that a good thing? The article seems to only say that women put more effort into trying to be healthy than men. The results might suggest that we women are merely more likely to listen what the media pushes as being supposedly healthy, whether or not the media turns out to be right. It doesn't say anything about whether, for all our efforts, women actually succeed in achieving better health than men.

Indeed, women are so much better men. Its a good think you are looking at this like a competition.

Wait...not it isn't. Why feminist feel the need to compete men only proves that they are insecure as women, rather than proving they so Confident, Powerful and Wonderful.

And to the other reply, quit feeling sorry for yourself. Women are subject to the influence of the media and so are men. You'll stop at nothing to turn even the simplest, unassuming statistic or fact into a torrent of, "Life is so hard for me," "If only this was different, I would be better," "Society needs to change for me."

The only society will change, is if you quit feeling sorry yourself, and take on the ideology that you say you believe in. Quit complaining, get healthy and be an example.
