Like 52% of the developed first world can be considered morbidly obese.
I highly doubt it’s a willpower or self-control problem, that’s just blaming the victim.
The real issue is there’s fucking sugar in everything.
Read the nutrition facts labels one day and try to keep yourself under 100g of net carbohydrates as a mental experiment while grocery shopping (net meaning carbs - fiber = net).
You’ll quickly notice that the vast majority of things have added sugar via HFCS, even innocuous things like bread or even ketchup.
My favorite advice to avoid this: stick to the outside aisles - the grains (though problematic), fruits/veggies, meats, and dairies. Only delve into the aisles for what you know you need/want. Not foolproof, but less temptation than walking every aisle, esp. when hungry
They arnt injecting sugar into meat fruit and vegetables yet and u can less proccessed carbs (less proccessed = longer chain carbs = slower to digest = better for u) that’s what 99% of ur diet should be anyways.
Also i blame soft drinks and sufar filled drinks as just as big of an issue. Drink fucking water its good for u, and if u think its boring have it with icecubes or a slice of lemon.
There’s also the elephant in the room of all the micro/nanoplastics polluting our food. We’re only now scratching the surface on what this means for our health but the preliminary findings are not at all positive
I was shocked to find HFCS (and a bunch of other sh*t) in SOY SAUCE in the USA! WTF?
Sorry, but if you look at real soy sauce in Asia, it has like 4 ingredients - water, soy, maybe some alcohol (from the fermentation?), and 1 or 2 that I forget. USA soy sauce (that I looked at) has like 10 ingredients.
Looking at labels (on Amazon) now, Kikkoman seems to use the traditional recipe - no HFCS. But, La Choy soy sauce does have HFCS in it.
A couple of years ago I started looking at the sugar contents listed on labels. Ho-ly crap. How does a pint of strawberry milk contain over 100% DV of sugar? Why does my PB&J consume 2/3 of my daily sugar budget? Its honestly sickening once you start keeping track of these things and I’m not even doing more than just trying to reduce my sugar intake and loosely monitor how much I take in

It’s tough out there.

People who cut all the sugar - all the carbohydrates - from their diets do stop being fat
Don’t forget all the added salt in everything too. Doesn’t affect weight but does affect internal health which is then compounded by weight gain.
Basically our food industry is trying to kill us while our healthcare industry makes money off it.
