      The entire American food pyramid and food ecosystem was explicitly designed to create metabolic disorders and enslave the American people to the for-profit medical system. It’s why raw foods with zero processing (and so, zero additional costs) cost several multiples more than highly processed foods (which cost much more to produce).

      Y’all all need to largely remove the bottom level of the food pyramid from your diet, and start viciously curating highly-processed foods out of your diet.

        Michelle Obama tried tackling this and fast-food PR destroyed her with claims she was “fat shaming”.

        There’s a huuuuuge lobby to fight in order to solve this and it should be tackled. But again, profits will be put before people’s health and lives.

        The obesity problem in the US is so bad, the Army is facing issues finding enough recruits fit for service. There’s even a program to get people back into shape just so they can try to get into the Army.
