American culture is all about consumption. They're fucking vile

Do you really think the huge fat ones are the ones eating the health food?

Even then a lot of weight problems are sedentary lifestyle, eating too many calories, and excessive alcohol consumption. The lockdowns are a great example of this as they are actively encouraging laying around inside and binge eating/drinking and everyone is getting even fatter.

how to spot a coastfag in one easy step:
1) condescension based on intelligence, attractiveness or both

> With food being healthier than ever

Strictly incorrect and the opposite of reality. Food is not healthier now than it ever has been, it's far worse for you and lacking in nutrients. I can give examples if you respond to me politely.

Wrong. They're good people absolutely poisoned by globalist capitalism and unchecked corruption. The lobbyists are financed by trillionaires, the government is full of corrupt people and Marxists. They can't afford basic healthcare but send billions to Israel. Gloat all you like, it's coming to our countries too.

HFCS removal and GMO removal didnt make any difference?

>>15840815
Sedentary lifestyle is a huge one. You can't spend 18 hours a day at a desk or on bed and expect to keep weight off

GMO doesn't have that much to do with it in the grand scheme of things. It has to do with nutrient availability and bacteria. We no longer have unpasturized milk, we don't even get milk with cream caps. Cheeses are all filled with filler bullshit. The best and most nutrient dense foods have been attacked and bastardized heavily. American giga chads were churned out of USA up until the last like 30~ years. Soy, shoddy foods like crackers and pasta. All that doesn't build your skeleton or muscle.

Soda, chips, candy, and pastries. Without those we would have significantly less fat people.
We could still have sugar and shit even sell corn syrup for people to make their own sweets and shit, and sure we would still have SOME fat people, but without the hyperacessability to shitty cooperate empty calories that have had millions put into them to be addictive we wouldn't have nearly the epidemic we currently have.

We need another solution, a more finalizing one

>With food being healthier
Food is not "healthy" or "unhealthy" food provides nutrition and energy. Eating habits are "healthy" or "unhealthy".

>>15840797
Gluten free does not mean healthy. In fact, most times it means the exact opposite since they are using a million chemicals to simulate gluten.

>>15841058
it's easy. just don't eat so much.

>>15840797
there are a lot of poor people in the world, and it tends to be less healthy foods = cheaper. McDonalds is literally everywhere.

>>15840797
First of all none of those things are unhealthy. Second, a food being healthy (itself a pretty vague designation) doesn't necessarily mean it won't make you fat. Olive oil is healthy, but it's still the most calorie dense thing you can possibly consume and will make you fat if you eat too much. Nuts are healthier than potato chips, but have more calories. Dark chocolate is more healthy than milk chocolate, but has more calories.

When it comes to not being a fat fuck, the only thing that matters is the energy vs satiety ratio of a food. A person will normally eat enough to be satiated. If a person's diet consists of croissants and ice cream, they will usually need to eat above their energy expenditure to reach satiety, i.e. they will gain weight. But a person whose diet consists of boiled potatoes and chicken breast will need to eat less and will lose weight. Things like vitamins, micronutrients, "toxins" etc. don't have anything to do with it. It's all about satiety.

Any food you eat is using genetically modified crops, period. The crops that america has had natively, and even crops we brought over have been modified through selective breeding (AKA genetic modification). That shit is the stupidest trend, it makes me so mad.
Gluten free also means nothing.
Non HFCS is good but if people are still stuffing sugar down their throats it does nothing. Dyes are much the same, they're an allergen to a very very very minor portion of the population. Good for them, irrelephant for everything else.

People don't have willpower, it's that simple. They can't will themselves to stop eating. I was the same until I finally realized I needed to stop. Now I have enough loose skin to function as a wingsuit but I'm happy for the most part.

How old is that image? North Korea has had a mcdonalds since like 2017.

>>15842890
What, why?

>>15840797
because it tastes like shit?

>>15840815
yeah, i eat like a fat fuck but get out and do sports for an hour or two every other day and im looking pretty good

>>15844328
>fat cope

>>15840797
food deserts are still a thing.

>>15840797
>We have non-gmo, gluten free, No HFCS, no dyes etc etc.
The fact that you think any of those except maybe the corn syrup has anything to do with obesity highlights the main problem: ignorance.

>>15844567
Yeah, just eat whatever you want.

>>15844574
Gluten doesn't cause obesity, and non-gmos sure as fuck aren't any better. It's not about eating whatever you want, those particular things just have nothing to do with it and are essentially marketing buzzwords.
When you pretend those are what causes obesity, retards think that if they stop eating 5000 calories a day of GMO gluten containing foods and replace them with 5000 calories a day of non-GMO gluten free garbage they're going to lose weight. And when that obviously fails, they become the retards posted in /fph/ threads who say they tried "dieting" and it just didn't work as if their bodies defy physics.
