PSA to those offended. Being fat is not okay. Big Pharma would love us all to be though so we can be riddled with disease for life. Literal cash “cows”. Trim up people so we can trim down pharmas draining of our pocketbooks.
What I’m suggesting is that the only food available to low-income households is high in fat and low in nutrients because that’s what’s cheapest to produce.
Unless you’re about to suggest being poor is a lifestyle choice too I suggest you stop stuffing words in my mouth.
Calories aren’t the problem. Nutrition is. No doubt you’ve heard it said that it’s important to eat a balanced diet. If you can’t afford to eat anything other than McDonald’s, only eating two meals a day total instead of three is not going to put more greens in your diet. It’s just going to make you hungrier.
It doesn’t matter how much McDonalds you eat, you’re not going to get a healthy and nutritious meal from it.
So that point is irrelevant.
Also I’m poor, I’ve eaten nothing but McDonalds for over a year at my worst and most days I eat cheap microwave meals or instant noodles. Surprisingly I’m not fat, because being poor isn’t the cause of it, eating too much is.
Yeah this doesn’t work at all. Being obese is 100% on the person. Anyone who doesn’t want to be obese can be with effort, but it is far easier to just be obese.
Those predecessors to an infection aren’t comparable to the gradual onset of obesity. I believe we should all be able to laugh, even at ourselves. This doesn’t single anyone out for ridicule.
I’d mostly agree. People can’t seem to wrap their heads around the fact that being fat can increase the likelihood of all kinds of nasty things like heightened blood pressure, difficulty breathing, difficulty moving, mental health problems, and a whole lot of other things.
It’s one thing to be fat, and it’s another thing to not try to change that. Good thing that facts don’t care about feelings.

Getting an infection also isn’t okay, but you don’t generally make fun of someone because they have one.
What if they have an infection because they refuse to wear a mask during a global pandemic while also refusing to get vaccinated?
Getting an infection isn’t a lifestyle choice.
Obesity is for 99.9% of instances.
That’s a nice argument, Senator. Why don’t you back it up with a source?
Are you legitimately suggesting that ~50% of the world has medical issues causing them to be fat?
Are you legitimately suggesting 99.9% of obese people are overweight because it’s fun for them? Because that’s what you just said.
No, I’m saying they lack the ability to eat less. It’s a personal failure, not a fun thing.
I think we have very different definitions of what “choice” means. If you lack the ability to eat less, then you aren’t choosing now are you?
I’m sorry but where are you seeing people being force-fed food?
What I’m suggesting is that the only food available to low-income households is high in fat and low in nutrients because that’s what’s cheapest to produce.
Unless you’re about to suggest being poor is a lifestyle choice too I suggest you stop stuffing words in my mouth.
So if the only food they have is too high in calories, eat less of it?
It’s not difficult.

Seriously though, I don’t think the latest studies on psychology back that up. I recommend anyone interested look into it. Fascinating stuff

Omegalul imagine downvoting facts.
