boemObesity has become the most common form of malnutrition in the majority of countries
Just a few things come to mind :
- Lobbyists stopping sugar taxes.
- Big Pharma and health industry making tons of money.
- European Union being very tolerant about pesticides.
- Supermarkets putting candy close the counters where parents with kids are in queue.
- Lots of people spending most of their time on mobile phones only exercising the muscles of their eyes.
I am happy that an organisation like Foodwatch exists : https://www.foodwatch.org/en/foodwatch-international

- Healthy at every weight culture
- Unacceptable to discuss personal accountability
I keep getting into it with people I mostly agree with. Yes, it’s fucked up that we add HFCS to everything and that corporations have weaponized addiction, but we can fight back.
Yep, way to many people over eat, and it has nothing to do with what’s in the food, people are just super seditaty these days and eat constantly.
Bitching about down votes doesn’t magically make you right. You’re being downvoted because what you said is idiotic.
It has a lot to do with what’s in the food. Sure, if you eat nothing but 1500 calories of Twinkies every day, when you were eating 3000 balanced calories, you’ll lose weight.
That is about 12 Twinkies. Not even an entire box of Twinkies. And that’s all you get to eat in a day.
It would be much easier to reduce calories if half of them were from vegetables and the other half from meat. Feeling hungry has a lot to do with why diets fail. You can’t just apply physics to the human body and expect emotional and hormonal changes not to have an impact on the choices that human makes.

you’re saying like eating twinkies is the only option. Veggies and meat are in every market. Are people generally this stupid that they think they have to only eat junk food?
73% of all of the food sold in the US is considered ultra processed, so no it’s not just Twinkies, but at this point unless you’re only buying neat and vegetables, you’re buying something that is lower in nutrients and bound to make you feel more hungry than you would if you ate something nearly identical that you made yourself.
Getting up and moving is great, I’m not discounting exercise. You do not lose weight by exercising. You lose weight through diet control.
You do not lose weight by exercising. You lose weight through diet control.
you lose weight by CICO. You either restrict calories in, or increase calories out, it does not matter.
See my first comment, applying physics to the human body and ignoring the hormonal and psychological impacts is going to lead to failure. It is much more like treating addiction than anything else.
