UK: How could western society improve?

Question

They tell us we get cancer if we don't eat our 5 a day, they tell us we are unhealthy if we don't drink 8 glasses of water a day, they tell us if we do bad at school our lives will be rubbish, they tell us if smoke we will die, they tell us if we drink we are bad, they tell us we are fat, they tell us we don't look normal if we don't conform to rules.

I hate western society, the government is in control of us whilst the media bombards us with negative idealisms which which go againts what the government tells, for example it's cool to take drugs, it's cool to look like a stick insect, its bad being a geek, its bad being chubby, who agrees that western society is ******* dumb and ridiculous?
