> People have to eat

People in west vastly overestimate how much they have to eat.

We wouldn't have health epidemic if people can just stop eating all the time.

This is complete nonsense. Yes, people overeat, but it only takes a small surplus of calories to put on weight.

you really think americans are eating 'small surplus' ?

Last year that number was 3600 ( fda recommendation is 2000, for reference )

imagine what will happen to food prices if americans cut their consumption by half.
