I disagree… to an extent. We are products of our environment, and when we work 50+ hours a week, convenient food is almost a necessity. Convenient food is full of the shit that makes us fat. One has to be intentional to avoid it, and has to have the knowledge and general distrust of society to seek out that knowledge.
People are raised to be sheep, and are told to trust the government, trust the doctors, Etc. Those two say eat this and that…which is the same shit that makes us fat.
So between lack of time, lack of inclination to distrust, and lack of motivation to change, people shovel down the slop filled with sugar and no nutrition.
so is it their fault that they’re fat? Yes, but…..
In the case of these two, I don't believe they have EVER worked 50 hours in a week.
My MIL has been glomming off of disability for over a decade. Before that her employment was very hit or miss.
The deadbeat soon to be ex of my wife's sister hasn't worked a job in well over a decade and has subsisted as a parasite to both her and his own kin.
These two people are the kind of awful that is without excuse.
I’ll still say it’s much easier to get fat with todays food than it was 100 years ago. Beyond that, though, yeah - personal choice plays its role.
I welcome the next world war; the one that will topple the corruption that plagues us.
