The Elephant in the room

[Trek420]

I'm just going to stumble in here and ask "who's they"? Parents? Teachers? Both? The entire village that it takes?

We ask a lot of our teachers: teach the kid to read who's been babysat by the TV and not read to, teach morals, values, calculus, French literature ..... I've been stumbling in the real world for decades, tons of schooling, raised in the wild by a pack of teachers and I've found I have lots to learn still.

So I'll just ask this question for the group: In a society/culture that does not reward or teach a healthy lifestyle or healthier choices how did you learn? Was it in the home, in the kitchen? Classes? Community? A little of both?
