It is odd that the young men who are proto hoodies, or at least NEETS, look almost universally thin & underfed to me. Although there are plenty of clearly obese families pushing trolleys round supermarkets, you dont see many obese young men hanging around the street
If I were a more galvanised or galvanising kind of person I would set up a kind of soup kitchen for them. A funky one, or whatever word the young people use nowadays. Lots of plates piled high with mashed potatoes, slabs of white bread, sausages, bacon, eggs & puddings to get some fruit down them. Gallons of full fat milk & orange juice. Cod liver oil dressed up as supplements
That after all is the diet on which we were reared. And, as a too-little noticed American study quite recently reported, although the chance of surviving cancer or heart disease is higher for our age group in the USA, the chance of succumbing to one or other in the first place is lower for those born over here.
And we are the generation which produced all those first in my family to go to university
