Think of all the unnecessary strain on our health care system. The lost economic output. All the mental health issues that compound due to physical health issues relating to fatness.
There is a constant dichotomy between advertisement telling people that they should eat more of XXX (put any kind of junk food here) and the society saying that they shouldn’t eat it.
Do you really think it was a billion dollar industry if it didn’t work? People might think they aren’t affected by it, but the constant barrage of carefully crafted advertisements will affect anyone’s subconscious. Coka Cola doesn’t need you to go out and buy their product right now. They just need to make you think a $4 bottle filled with $0.03/L unquestionably unhealthy sugar water is a fair exchange.
I didn’t say they don’t work. I asked why people make decisions based on it. If you pay attention you can see all things commercials do to manipulate you emotionally. It’s always the same shit.
They’re saying that there seems to be a lot of people [online] who support cigarette bans, but probably don’t support bans on the junk foods they enjoy that contribute to a far more severe problem.
Also probably, folks attacking anyone online, including health professionals, who frames being overweight as a negative thing. I’ve seen these exact things [online] myself. I understand it’s a vocal minority though, as is often the case [on the Internet].
Yep… there is a large portion of the population who thinks that tobacco is still the number one killer and want to continue to put more and more laws in place…when the reality it’s no longer in the top 10. Almost all of our top 10 now is from food/obesity and surprise… alcohol.

This alone has a big weight on mental health.
Why tf are people doing what advertising tells them?

They tell them alot
Almost like it is design
May well have been caused by the health care system: Obesity: A New Adverse Effect of Antibiotics?
No, it’s because people eat to much. I’ve yet to meat a single obese person that doesn’t eat like shit.
You need to learn how to spell
Maybe, but at least I know how to regulate my caloric intake.
According to our politicans and everyone on Reddit and Lemmy and Twitter it’s tobacco…evil tobacco. You can be healthy and morbidly obese as well …
I don’t really understand what you’re saying. Could you rephrase it or elaborate, please?
