I think this is easy to say as a healthy eater (I am one too, always have been). However, unlearning a lifetime of bad habits is hard. But yeah, it's costing nations billions that could be better spent.
Ignorant comment.
It's really not hard to not drink. It's really not hard to not do heroin. It's really not hard to...
It can be very hard to eat a healthy diet if you're poor or if you live in a food desert, or you have a dietary restriction, or some allergies...
You know what, I'm coming back to this even after replying once.
People fucking die from obesity every fucking day.
And all you can do is be callous and say "it's not that hard i'm a body builder hurhur." Well so am I. So are a lot of people. The only reason you think that is impressive is because you're a fucking loser edgelord.

Blaming individuals for a public health crisis affecting 40% of the population is absolutely silly. There are a lot of individuals like me, who overeat behaviorally, but that doesn't explain the scale of the issue. maybe 8-10% of the population has some sort of eating disorder, the other 30% are just regular people eating an american diet.
