We're too soft on companies, but equally too hard on people who have a food addiction.

We don’t teach children accountability. We teach adults the opposite.

Body acceptance movements («it’s sexy to be obese»), a social safety net built around supporting the people taking the least responsibility for their lives (like drug addicts), and a culture celebrating incompetence and throwing merit out the window in the name of DEI.

Is it really a surprise a large percentage of the population is obese, stupid and unwilling to change? It’s simply a fundamentally bad incentive structure on a western societal level.

Nah, we’re still too soft on people. It’s really not hard to eat a healthy diet.
