It’s so sad to see that the rich Americans not only managed to win control of our country but also the majority of the planet. If not for these relatively few cancerous and selfish individuals we could have done away with resource scarcity long ago

“Bulking is harder” mfers when they have to eat their 2nd donut (oh no!) I’m not obese, but I’m not skinny either and I’m a bit below my “natural” weight (source: before I started working out and watching what I ate I was 25lvs heavier)

Yes and no. Obviously there are many foods that can be easily avoided that cause obesity, but most healthy food is also hard to get due to how expensive it is.

I will say that while it’s hard for the poorest Americans to access healthy foods (who live in food deserts), most middle class Americans are more than capable of finding healthy foods, albeit ones that are maybe canned. But the whole idea that being fat is easy to avoid is what the issue is, it’s just not representative of what we know about how complicated the human brain / body are

Some people’s brains are wired for overeating just like some people’s brains are wired for gambling addictions or drinking problems. Salty and unhealthy foods being ever present doesn’t help. Telling someone to just stop being fat is as absurd as telling someone to just stop feeling hungry. If I had a problem where I always felt hungry and was always thinking about food I’d likely be fat too
