How do we end this???

>New survey finds 71 million Americans have gained weight during the COVID-19 pandemic

As many as 71 million Americans have gained weight during the coronavirus pandemic, and over half feel down about the way they now look, according to a new survey.

Sixty-three percent of people queried said that healthy lifestyle habits are hard to keep in the midst of COVID-19, 52% have been feeling depressed about the way they look, and nearly 3 in 5 are on a mission to lose weight, according to the survey commissioned by Boston-based Gelesis.

The biotechnology company partnered with research firm Kelton Global to conduct an online survey of 1,012 adults from Oct. 26 to Nov. 3. Kelton then used Census figures to determine quotas to ensure the sample was a reliable snapshot of the U.S. population, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1%.

“While our survey has found Americans have been motivated to develop healthier habits amidst the pandemic, it has also brought to light how many Americans who want to lose weight continue to struggle,” said Elaine Chiquette, Gelesis’ chief scientific officer.

Close to half — 47% — of people who gained weight said their self-esteem had decreased since March, the survey found, and as many as 40 million Americans who are trying to lose weight would give up social media if it meant losing 10 pounds.

You just have to become better people. Not sure Americans are capable of it, though, as so many of you are convinced you've reached peak humanity just because you were born in a prototype democracy (an impressive achievement in its time, quite dated in 2020).

This is a bullshit pandemic driven by faulty tests. The WHO classification for pandemic has been changed from deaths to cases during the Obama administration. This is so they can classify basically whatever the fuck they want as a pandemic even if a lot of people aren't dying. They planned this shit years ago.

What, you couldn't eat healthy? You are stuck home and you still dont have time to cook healthy? I have come to realize how retarded people really are. They order takeout and sit on their asses and wonder what went wrong. No sympathy for these retards

Damn, looks like shutting down the country and telling everyone to stay inside and fear for their lives is worse than a virus with a 99% survival rate. Who could have predicted this? Oh right, the "wacky conspiracy theorists" were saying this back in March.

My country is already out of recession because we took it seriously from the start. We're only fucked economically in the long term because China doesn't honour its agreements and is still commie enough to sink capitalism for emotional reasons.
