Perspectives keep rapidly changing - Lemmy.World

People aren't shoveling foods into their gullets anymore, they're dumping truckloads into it and proud of it.

Alternatively: Capitalism has robbed the working class of any time for exercise while simultaneously pushing food that is dirt cheap to make with artificial additives that leave to excess consumption.

But that doesn’t fit the convenient narrative of “it’s all society’s fault,” which pushes all blame and need for action off the observer.

As a not fat person that doesn’t have time to exercise, it’s not hard to avoid one or two meals a day. Fat people eat too much, period. Don’t blame capitalism.

Clearly because you don’t struggle with this thing, the struggles of others are invalid.

Capitalism is significantly at fault because it pushes more and more food, makes cheap (read: affordable) food severely fattening, and creates industries that prey on people’s insecurities and entices them into all kinds of disordered eating. To say nothing about the general decline of physical and mental health caused by unfettered capitalism that often manifests as disordered eating.

But yeah, eating too much is the only problem. Thanks I’m cured /s
