What is causing Americans to be so fat?

Date: October 23rd, 2021 8:50 AM Author: stirring vermilion resort shitlib Watching Seinfeld, not many fat people. It seemed like eating out was a bit part of the culture back then too based on the show. (I was 3 when Seinfeld came out, no first hand experience). Are Americans at home eating sticks of butter?

Date: October 23rd, 2021 8:56 AM Author: Titillating Flesh Travel Guidebook Persian Most food in grocery stores is full of disgusting chemicals that are not found in natural foods. This is probably a large part of the issue, though I don’t know how much this has worsened from the Seinfeld era to now. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4948024&forum_id=2#43317870) |

Everyone will blame chemicals or some bullshit but proles actually take pride in being fat, they think it is normal and will call you “skinny” if you have a healthy BMI. |

Date: October 23rd, 2021 10:59 AM Author: citrine irradiated black woman pit Just guessing, but the REAL uptick in obesity is among the proles. This has been caused by the decline in manual labor, massive increase in constant gorging on processed foods and portion size increases, and decline in smoking.
Just think of the cultural change. Middle class families used to go to McDonalds for a special treat, but now people slam food like that regularly
All of this adds up to about a 20-50 lb increase in body weight

1. Insane portion and soda sizes
2. Snacking all day, not just limiting yourself to 2 to 3 meals
3. Biggest issue is chemicals and God knows what in meat, milk, cheese, juice. If you think anyone even understands this then lol, the govt and food industry and corpoeate media will never truly look into it. All I can say is in Asiaj supermarkets I feelt 90 percent of the food is legit save for shit like Coke and other US garbage, in US it's reverse nothing is legit |

I know so many people who go to the gym or Peloton multiple times a week (which is way more exercise than people got in the 50s) but are so much fatter than 99% of people were in the 50s.
We always cite the manual labor thing, but being a housewife hasn't changed that much in 50 years. But the body of a housewife sure has. |

Date: October 23rd, 2021 11:20 PM Author: Startling really tough guy elastic band To add to the food supply thing, remember in the early 2000s there were all those TV ads about people losing weight eating at Subway. These were obvous extreme chaos where people were eating very bad.
But we have so many healthier options now, but you never hear stories like that. Chipotle is mostly organic and locally sourced etc, but you're never hearing anyone losing 100 lbs eating at Chipotle. Same with Tendergreens, etc.
The argument still can't be that Americans are eating too much fried processed foods. |
