According to some sources, at least 1 in 8 of the world population is classified as ‘obese’. Since nobody in any government seems to have thought up a working solution, what do you believe can be done to solve the epidemic?

    I’m not saying any of that isn’t true.

    But the government can’t make you eat correctly. If you want to enjoy eating healthy, it has a cost. That cost includes learning how to cook affordable, delicious, and healthy food. It exists. It can even be made quickly. But you’re not going to magically develop that skillset by osmosis. You have to seek out new information and try new things. If you want to keep doing the same thing over and over, nothing is going to change.

          There is always the comment from people who NEED to eat at McDonald’s because their life is so damn stressful that they don’t have 20min a day to cook and tge government takes their beans and their rice away. They basically force feed them Donut’s. It’s a tragedy actually.

            I don’t even mind these ones. It’s the ones that insist that they don’t lose weight in a calorie deficit that irk me, eg. saying they can’t lose weight because they have PCOS. Like you can just say you don’t want to lose weight. We don’t know you. We’re not the one stuck living in your body, you are.
