:francis: Dude going into the supermarket is depressing in itself when you see the vices are cheaper, than the food that's needed to stay healthy.

Almost as if this country wants to create these monsters because it keeps the fast/junk food industry afloat, and medical facilities paid.

Humans are becoming cattle to these suits, and it quite frankly makes me ill to my stomach. Like how you expect a person that's trying to lose weight to stay in shape, when the actual stores that promote healthy eating having Marlo brick prices, versus a local Walmart where the most shytty of foods are marked down and all in the front.
It's the food companies. They pay for the placement in stores. They pay to keep certain brands out of stores.

The food that's better for you, if it had better distribution would come down in price. Competition drives price. But if a company isn't profitable enough, they can't innovate the products to make them cheaper. I worked in food before and now I'm in something completely different. If a company has enough revenue, they have ways to adjust the price however they want.

I've learned so much about how they market to people, unless you have a complete aversion to it, they know how to make you buy shyt even if you know it's bad for you.

Ad words
Product height/placement
The color
The branding
The Claims
How to make you instantly crave it
Just the right price to sell it to make you cave in

It's down to a market-tested science.

I know there's a self control element too, and in this climate you ultimately only can rely on that.

I was telling my son that yesterday because he wanted to pick up a Prime drink, because of the Paul cacs. I had to let him know that it's all in marketing. Of course, it may look tempting because a high-flying goofy promoting it, but are you going to enjoy it?

Of course, he ends up getting it just out of curiosity, and you guess it....he hated it (TBF he picked Lemon lime flavored like come on breh :why: ).

That's one thing I hate about food marketing nowadays, its always this sense of fear of missing out. Instead of it the companies having a wit and some sort of confidence with the food product, they go on this weird "GET IT NOW OR YOU WILL REGRET IT" steez. Its fukking gross.

I'd say it's been like that since the 90's, and believe it or not a lot of it is because Jordan. There have been celebrity endorsers before, but Nike and Jordan was one of the very first marriages of a mediocre product paired up with a celebrity to target a specific demographic.

Once companies found out you can pay someone to market a product; hefty sums don't get me wrong, but far less than it would to actually make the product good or pay a liveable wage to the factory workers; the quality of products started tanking. Pair it up with Wall Street who only cares about profit, the product gets worse and worse.

I've seen some shyt man.

I call myself a capitalist, but man sometimes I don't know anymore.

unfortunately her mom is the enabler, no way she's walking to the kitchen to get food.
going home is a death sentence, this young woman needs to be sent to a treatment center.

I don’t understand how high blood pressure and hypertension are taking out former athletes but 800 lb people keep on living.
Because athletes are perceived healthy from a young age so they either do want to or don't feel they need to be checked for anything...these fat ass mfers stay in the doctors office so they get treated.

Brehs need to start getting yearly check ups

…then, have a global pandemic occur.
U already extremely overweight dealing with everything that comes with that on top of plain ol standard life issues.

Folks can get they jokes off but nothing funny bout this story and this woman's struggle man.

At the end of the day thats a fukkin human being just as imperfect as the rest of us.

All the hate she getting wtf has this lady ever done to anyone dishing it out to her? Just some miserable angry bytch made people taking advantage capitalizing on some low hanging fruit.

The woman is crying she know she fukked up. Why dont some of yall act like some got damn human beings and try for some compassion? Fukk.

Im glad we got her name im finna reach out and see what i can do to make a difference in this woman's life. Like got damn how can anyone watch this clip and not feel any empathy man? :mindblown: Like did this chick touch a kid or something? If not despite putting on a ton of weight from trauma eating i think she deserve a second chance at life. But thats just me:hubie:


edit: just to add she watched someone she loved get fukking murdered. Ive lost so many people in my life, watched so many people slowly destroy themselves. Im watching my fukking wife battle stage 4 cancer. And this shyt has taken its toll on my own mental.

Imagine watching ur partner get murdered. On second thought, dont. I dont even wanna imagine that shyt. Because it can happen to any of us.

But thank ur lucky muhfukking stars if it aint happen to u instead of clowning a woman who has actually lived through such a soul crushing ordeal. This woman lived my worst nightmare.
