My 2c is that one should simply look at the diet of lifestyle of the fat people they know, and the obesity problem will become clear.
Tons of soda. Products like Hamburger Helper instead of actually making pasta and sausage yourself. Extremely high volume of food in general. Constant, constant snacking. No exercise. So a massive amount of low quality food and nothing to burn it. Cancer, heart disease, joint pain, diabetes, heartburn, everything else.
Occasionally you run into some outré example like a family I know who eats exclusively home-cooked meals with grass-fed beef and venison yet are all overweight, but I've had lunch with them and that was some of the richest, tastiest food in my life plus all the trimmings. Also, they don't really care about exercising, or for that matter their weight.
I don't think this is complicated. Weight gain is simply calories in and calories out. The only contentious part is the psychological compulsions that cause people to eat amounts of food that they know are bad for them, sometimes while maintaining a sedentary lifestyle, which they also know is bad for them.
Maybe, but the amount of people that got so angry with me just for saying "gluttony is bad" is really astounding.
Literally nobody got angry with you about that.
You mean the guy who believes "anyone who disagrees with me or finds me annoying is a jew trying to silence me" might not be able to understand criticism?
Shocking!
What critisizm? none of the critisizm made any sense, other then people getting angry with me for saying if America wants to not be the most obese country in the world then Americans need to stop eating such big portions.
Its almost poetic.
they did. My main point in my posts were "America has the highest obesity rates in the world because Americans eat too much" (and there's proof that Americans eat too much, America's portion sizes are larger than the rest of the world.) And people got angry with me for that and acted like eating too much food doesn't contribute to being fat
Dude, you kept ignoring or glossing over the salient point of the content of the food.
This was, in a very literal sense, not exhibited until the nineties.
im not ignoring it. I said both are an issue. The type of food and also the giant portion sizes
Did you read the same comments I did? People were getting weirdly vitriolic toward Telia in that thread. With the level of animosity in those comments, you'd think Telia kicked their dog and pushed their grandma down the stairs. It was weird. And, it was just about diet and food, which is important, but not the kind of subject to get that caustic about.
What I did see was a crap load of people getting baited into talking to the pedo pajeet, but it looks like that was after I stopped reading it. Hell the thread size has doubled since then.
Wait what? You're saying Telia is a pedo pajeet alt?
I've dealt with that subversive on ConPro for a while, and Telia doesn't talk like him at all.
Let them die with a Suddenly.
