@matrix That's why we have a lot of pharma bros that specialize in seed of the poppy.
@matrix milk of the poppy... trying to code, shitpost, and make tea at the same time.
Little victim blamey here...
First of all, Americans aren't the only country that struggles with obesity, all of the world does now.
Secondly, wild animals are now more obese than they were 50 years ago, demonstrating that there is something going on beyond "Americans are fat and lazy"
Thirdly, the whole small changes to "diet and exercise"thing has been so thoroughly debunked as to hardly be worth discussing.
There's a real global problem here.

There is a very interesting series of article you can read here: https://slimemoldtimemold.com/
To summarize their thesis (which I do not 100% agree with): "Water and or food supply have been poisoned with chemicals causing unnatural hunger in humans". The evidence they have for that seems to me extremely convincing (except that I believe that a more conspiratorial thesis, which is "industrial food is intentionally designed to be as addictive as possible and to supress hunger", is also plausible, maybe even more so).
Diet and exercise do not work as they should in a scenario where peoples sense of hunger is being mislead by chemicals. The human body has the ability to regulate its own weight and before ~60s that worked extremely well, so well that there used to be *weight gain* products for women.
I think there is an extremely high probability that the current international obesity crisis is either caused accidentally or intentionally and that while "exercise and dieting" do "work" on a theoretical level they are *entirely* inadequat as a cure.

We will think up any excuse to not be uncomfortable or change our routines
especially when we have no goals or reasons to stay accountable.

@Giveth @akorenchkin @emacsen @matrix it’s staggering how deluded people are. They are completely unable to cope with their inability to take any personal responsibility, and there is always some retarded excuse as to why they can’t.
