As someone who struggled with their weight and worked my ass off to get fit physically and like David Goggins and his attitude towards goal setting; I will say this is defense of fat people.
1. Being fat is so easy. Imagine if instead of being addicted to cigarettes or alcohol, you were addicted to food. Now imagine how hard to get and how expensive it is to get drugs and now make it easy. In fact the cheapest, easiest and the food that will give you the best feeling, is the worst for you. All advertisements, commercials, signs are telling you to eat, eat, eat. School lunches are bought by corporations to sell things like milk and grains that cause more obesity than anything. Giving a child fruit loops should be as bad as giving them alcohol.
Do you know a lot of American food is banned in other countries? Like corn syrup?
2. Not only is it easy to get crap food in America , cities are structured in a way where it is impossible to be physically active. You are working 8-10 hours a day with a family and you damn sure can’t walk or bike to work because there are no sidewalks, bike lanes, or decent public transportation.
Unless we start attacking how corporations and businesses have destroyed our nutrition and cities there will always be fat people. Shaming them really isn’t going to do much. Like just say no to drugs
