Only 1/3 of America is a healthy weight

1/3 is overweight 1/3 is obese

This is a manufactured problem stemming from unregulated foods and a profit driven free market.

I have personally seen way too many family and friends deliberately over-feed their children and sentence them to lifelong weight issues.

This problem will likely only be solved through medications because the food industry has completely won

Argument from anecdote and some statistics on obesity do not make you an expert on American culture.

You don’t need to be an expert on American culture to learn the verifiable facts around the food industry poisoning Americans for generations
