Despite all those lean, hard-fought years of avoiding fat, the nation got fatter. All that supposedly healthy food didn't reduce obesity—it pushed the national rate up by fifteen points.:cirno_for_reals:

@allison@hidamari.apartments I do think it's food but not what most people believe :blobcat3c:I'm reading this right now :comfyshiba:https://www.markschatzker.com/the-end-of-craving

@amolith I honestly think a lot of it is groundwater contamination with microplastics and lithium

@allison@hidamari.apartments I mean I don't doubt it, it's just an interesting though.I think there are many aspects of the US "way of life" that encourage and promote obesity, not just one root cause that can be yeeted.i mean. there is one root cause. it's called stupidity and thinking we're smarter than our own brains. but that's not going to go away all at once

@allison@hidamari.apartments it's just an interesting thought and I don't doubt it, just curious how that would work :thonking:I think there are many aspects of the US "way of life" that encourage and promote obesity, not just one root cause that can be yeeted.i mean. there is one root cause. it's called stupidity and thinking we're smarter than our own brains. but that's not going to go away all at once

@amolith https://slimemoldtimemold.com/2021/08/02/a-chemical-hunger-part-vii-lithium/ has deets on the mechanism. Of course, while not lithium specifically, one of the things that concerns me is that I'm seemingly unable to put on weight no matter what I try doing to the contrary.

@amolith because all those corporations are lobbing their way of "healthy food". Obesity, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes...they are all caused by consuming ridiculous amounts of sugar. If someone wants to lose wight or be generally healthy they should switch to sugarless diet.

@jjurek@linuxrocks.online nope, carbs aren't the problem either. Foods are not inherently bad, what's making us fat is us thinking we're smarter than nature and trying not only to engineer how we eat but also what we eat. The problem is eating food that isn't naturally low in fat, cutting carbs out completely, "enriching" grains with vitamins they didn't naturally contain, artifical colours and flavours, zero-calorie sweeteners, and all the other manufactured shit we're pumping our bodies full of.We tell the world we know what we're doing but our bodies say otherwise. We just need to eat regular food like we have been for the last few thousand years and stop trying (and failing miserably) to outsmart nature.
