Yes, I mean I knew we had a problem with obesity in our country, but I didn’t realize that it was the majority. It’s just wild to think that with all the negative health effects associated with it that you don’t hear a thing about it anywhere being the majority of the country.

Sometimes I’ll notice other peoples carts in the grocery store and just feel for the kids. Parents buying nothing but trash and thats their diet, its a shame

We used ho hear about rising obesity a lot. Then the majority became obese and decided they didn't want to feel bad about it so everyone stopped talking about it.

Everyone talks about it constantly. Why do you think plans and products related to diet is a billion dollar industry?

The sad truth is that nothing would reasonably change without massive government regulation and what most would consider gross overreach.

Yeah true, I guess once everyone got overweight, they got sick of it and made it accepted. Funny how that works. Damn I’m definitely overthinking but that’s why suddenly I started to see overweight guys and girls in popular groups. And it all started happening when the body positivity movement started. Before then if you were overweight you were ostracized or bullied by popular kids.
