I mean people didn’t have to smoke and they didn’t need to take OxyContin and they didn’t need to eat chef boyardee. At some point society needs to point the finger at those profiting off taking advantage of individuals. If that's the case the government should be held accountable.

We’re talking about how to lessen the burden of an unhealthy society. You can blame the individual and excuse the corrupt business and right or wrong that fixes nothing. Or you can remove the unhealthy shit from the shelves and fix the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deephaven Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) I want to be able to choose whatever the hell I want to choose. I don't really eat "processed" anything as 95% of the food I buy are single ingredients, but for the 5% don't you dare control what is ok and isn't. The latest scourge are all the fake alternatives. No sugar sweet drinks, fat-free items that normally have fat, low calorie bullshit alternatives and all sorts of other things with empty calories. Eat junk that your body thinks has calories but doesn't only makes you hungry. Edited June 19, 2022 by Deephaven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Saying it's a matter of people having shit willpower is an oversimplification. That is 80% of the problem, true, but it's not everything. The other 20% is the food industry and the over-processed shit they put on shelves. They make that shit for cheap and pull great margins on it. If the 80% would stop buying it, the 20% would largely fix itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "big is beautiful" movement is the perfect human shield for the industry. 2. It's expensive to make healthy stuff. Any attempts to curtail cheap processed shit will be an "attack on the lower-middle class" Food can be healthy, cheap, and tasty, but never more than 2 of those attributes at a time.

Agreed , that’s why government should step in a regulate these trash highly processed chemicals out of the food industry. We don’t let industry dispose of waste in our drinking water supply. Why should we let them load massive amounts of food with extremely damaging trash? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 It is a national crisis. #1 co-morbidity with the china virus was obesity. If only they focused on food and activity instead of experimental shots we'd be way better off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecat Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Todays parents are to blame. Kids live on Kraft Mac and cheese an those horrid chicken nuggets. At breakfast last week we watched a fat 15 year with his parents order a grilled cheese, French fries and chicken nuggets. ….. for breakfast. He washed it down with a large Coke.

I'd be all for the elimination of corn syrup, aspartame, fat substitutes, lots of preservatives, etc. While we're at it, let's get rid of plastic food containers, especially for hot food. BPA and phthalates are killing us men. Testosterone levels are at historic lows. Get all that shit out of our food now. Fucking lobbyists though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
