    Everyone is fat

    Exactly, which points squarely at an environmental cause, not at individual sloth/gluttony or some shit like that.

    The conclusion you’re saying doctors arrive at—which I don’t doubt you’re correct about—is actually completely fucking backwards.

      No, it points to people eating processed food and other shit. Guess what, you can still be healthy if you eat healthy.

          Unfortunately they were implying that that’s outside people’s control, like lead exposure or something, which is why they got the response they did. For the moment, anyway, it’s possible to eat good-ish if you educate yourself andfamiliarize yourself with your local area’s businesses. Even even there is nothing but a walmart, you can still buy veggies. If they don’t have veggies, you can buy nuts and beans. Going to McDonalds is a choice. Eating frozen dinners with family sized bags of chips for dessert is something people do because of lack of education or exhaustion, both problems with our society, but if you are the person in question then, you, personally can choose to eat healthy. It just won’t be as appealing.

      Yeah but your doctor cant prescribe you burning down capitalism, they can prescribe you lower your caloric intake.
