Wasn’t there a poster here that mentioned this (regarding covid) a few times?

Majority of people get fat or can't stop eating not because they choose to but because they have underlying problems.

But in your world free of complexities, eating disorders are simply fixed by eating less, drug addiction is easy to overcome if you only choose to and depression is cured with a gym membership.

If everything was a choice, why would anyone choose to be addicted, poor or fat? :unsure:

Serious question.

Learn to make better choices. It can be done. Throw out the crap in your pantry and fridge. Cook with whole food based ingredients. Nearly everyone can eat to their hearts content, within reason, if those calories are not coming from processed foods.

I agree that once you open up a bag of chips or oreos it's hard to stop, but try to remember how it ended up in your hands, and soon after your mouth, in the first place- because you bought it.

LOL, bullshit. Yes, I agree that for some communities that food deserts are real and problematic for people without cars. However that is such a small subset of those who are obese and doesn't explain why 50+% of the country who has relatively easy access to groceries is overweight/obese. Even small Mexican corner markets have dried beans and rice for super cheap, as do even the most poorly stocked grocery stores. You don't need kale & wheat grass smoothies to stay lean.

Exercise is not a requirement, however eating properly certainly is. It's a lot easier to not eat an extra 500 calories than it is to burn it.

Fattest states = Red states.

you deny that there’s a concerted effort to make people believe that being fat is perfectly ok?

Let me repeat since it isn't soaking in:

You got a brain, you know just as well as everyone else being fat and out of shape isn't as healthy as being fit and not fat.

Surprised you fall for the marketing of Cosmo and would use it to try to prove yourself wrong.

What other things do you disagree with that you use to try and prove yourself right?

Don't play the fool on purpose to try and twist the marketing of unhealthy behavior into something else.

There is a concerted effort by everything that is selling something to try to get you to believe whatever it is that gets you to buy their crap
