Obesity.

It is infuriating how many times this needs to be said. Too many people pretend this is not a problem.

This.

Most cancers happen from DNA mutations, and most DNA mutations happen during cell division, and cells divide well... when there is ample nutrients. The world we live in today, is very different than our distant ancestors. Calories are absurdly abundant compared to our evolutionary past, or even 100 years ago.

Fatpositivity is a hell of a mental state. they are trying to frame it as not only not a problem but as a good thing. they are just playing into agrocorporations that want to continue pumping sugar into everything we eat.

For the most part, no. They just don’t want to be treated like some sort of lesser human being.

It’s a difficult problem. People get sick of being told 300x “why don’t you just do x”

its not difficult.

1. stop drinking soda and juice. 2. eat only unprocessed food 3. go for a 30 min walk every day.

its really hard to go over 300 lbs if you cook your own meals, don't load up on 300 calorie sugar bombs and take basic responsibility for your own health. and I say this as someone who used to be very fat.

Can we blame phones instead so we can keep selling our McBurgers?
