1.) Take out 90% of the words.

2.) Then take out another 50%.

Hope this helps.

>People get fat for two reasons. First is that people don't pay attention and gain weight by eating too much. This largely happens unconsciously, and with the food out there today, it can happen pretty easily. The second is that stress deprioritizes health. ... When people choose to lose weight and fail, it is always because of stress.

This premise is incorrect.

Medical conditions like Cushing's syndrome, hypothyroidism, polycystic ovary syndrome, chronic inflammation, sleep apnea, adrenal fatigue, Hashimoto's disease, low testosterone, poor gut health, Syndrome X, and insulin resistance, can cause weight gain or resistance to weight loss.

Essential medication like hormonal birth control, antidepressants, beta blockers, treatments for diabetes, antipsychotics, anti-epileptic medication, antihistamines, corticosteroids, and hormone replacement therapy, can cause weight gain or resistance to weight loss.

Difficulty in weight loss is not always because of stress, and weight gain isn't always because of "eating too much" or "stress."

Yea this is just fatphobic. Not everyone is naturally thin. Sorry.

I think your example of people eating unhealthy foods is pretty reductionist. There are a ton of other factors in play aside from "people are lazy and seek immediate gratification".

Off the top, I would say fast food is far more affordable than fresh fruit/vegetables and lean proteins in many countries, but especially in the US. In addition to affordability, I would say that most people living at or below the poverty line are work long hours/ multiple shitty minimum wage jobs, that don't offer health benefits packages or the freedom to do things like going to the gym on their lunch break.

I would really recommend looking into some of the staples of ethics and philosophy. It seems like you've got a lot of ideas but might lack the greater context needed to engage with those ideas in the way it seems like you want to.

Obviously other options are available but PBS has crash course and they tend to be pretty solid for getting a very basic idea of some of the tools used to engage with these concepts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1A_CAkYt3GY&list=PLUHoo4L8qXthO958RfdrAL8XAHvk5xuu9

EDIT: And as others have pointed out, a huge amount of your premises are factually incorrect, which causes the rest to fall down and be meaningless. 1 + 1 =5, so therefore, 1 must be greater than 2, as 2+2 only equals 4.

People eat a lot because they are fat. Being fat makes you hungry. It's analogous to a kid growing. They aren't growing because they eat a lot, they eat a lot because they are growing.

How did they get fat in the first place? By eating the wrong things. Processed food, sugar, etc.

You are much less likely to get fat eating whole unprocessed foods.

I disagree with the way you are presenting it, but let me take a different stab at re-summarizing your post:

Humanity's legacy will be measured as a group effort, rather than any individual input. At its root, this is because individuals will die and have relatively short lifespans compared to the collective human species.

I'd let the implications start rolling in from that point instead.

>This introduces the dichotomy between isolation and cooperation. Morale is driven down when people see the world around them is failing them. This perception causes isolation. People become bitter, resentful, and individualistic.

Nailed it. It's what's happening to me right now, I used to be social and positive and now as I'm getting older and more independent but at the same time struggling more and becoming more aware of society, I have lost all interest in socializing because I genuinely don't trust most people now. Barely leave the house and when I do I feel like I'm among a horde of selfish zombies.

This post is too based as it looks at the biggest picture of all which most people have trouble getting, so don't be surprised if you get tons of nitpicking comments filled with fallacies and pedantism, getting lost in specifications while still failing to see the bigger picture.

We are living in the emotional dark ages, the world we've created out of greed does not do well to humans or Earth in the long run. Our very nature is being hacked for profit (social media being the great latest factor). People are still very much asleep and keep looking at the wrong root cause of things, putting simple band aids on things where surgery is needed.

...I'm pretty sure the reason why people are obese is because they want to be, though?

No one is putting a gun against their heads and forcing them to eat the trash they eat in enormous quantities.

I'm a middle-aged man in my thirties and I'm literally wearing the same jeans I bought at the age of 18 as a college freshman, and it still fits me perfectly.

I've never been to a gym before, I don't run or do any physical exercise other than walking, and here i am, still slim enough to star in a Japanese movie as the top-billed star.

So... people are fat because they choose to be so. It's not my problem, and I honestly don't care about the people who are destroying their own bodies because they are spoiled and selfish.

I do worry and feel bad about the people who are born with genetic defects and health issues. It ain't their fault they are the way they are.
