Yeah I think over half of kids are overweight now.

Obesity is the number one cause of death, and no one seems to be getting the message.

People get the message but it’s really hard for some people to get skinny when they’re bombared with high calorie super tasteful junk that costs half the price of healthier options.

It’s a societal problem, not just an individual one.

Healthy food is not more expensive than processed shit. It’s literally not. You can buy an entire tray of chicken breast for the cost of a single big mac meal. Rice, greens, all way cheaper than processed shit. I don’t know where this comes from that healthy food is more expensive, it’s just not. Processed food takes more energy/labor to create, it’s gonna cost more just from a logistics point.

I do agree it’s both. You vote with your wallet, you get up and move around, you eat less. It also doesn’t help that their is a huge HAES movement that promotes being obese like it’s not a health risk. Social media pushes that shit like mad…and also has people just sitting around doom scrolling for hours on end.

Depends on your location for healthy food being cheaper. Lots of people live in food deserts where fresh produce is much more expensive than a box of mac and cheese.
