I know some nations have been more affected than others, but the obesity epidemic is a truly global problem. I've noticed it in my travels. :/

Part of the issue is that people are not being properly educated. I'm not sure if grade school kids still have health class, but even back in the day, at best they'd tell you how fruits and veggies are good for you, but they never spoke of just how bad soda and sweets are, and all the oils and plethora of other unhealthy ingredients. People really should take the time and google each of these ingredients. And you'll likely wonder how the FDA is able to label these things as being safe for consumption.
I doubt many people are ignorant of the things you're talking about. Many just don't care or can't make themselves eat things that they don't enjoy.

There are additives we can use but these things are VERY expansive.

Currently Im using a oil you can add to food/water that reduces your cravings. Which helps alot since my workdays are longer and more physically and mentally exhausting then most.

There's also those 'supplements' that periodically go mainstream, and then get banned due to basically being Meth-Light. And then they rebrand, etc

I put it like this: Is your extra weight interfering with normal life activity or contributing to a serious health issue like diabetes or high blood pressure?

If not... not obese in my non-expert opinion.

Ok, I will admit, my prices were a bit off, but candy should not be cheaper than salad. And I should have said salad instead of veggies in my post.

You can make it cheap as dirt and a lot people will still go for candy instead of salad cuz it tastes better and they have no self control >_> Price isn't as much of a factor as people probably think it is.

Organic is a waste of money. You can buy a bag of the same stuff for like $2

We are living a very sedentary lifestyle. People need to get up and walk around more often. We need to eat less too. It doesn't hurt to eat less.

The salad can be much cheaper if you buy it non pre-packaged.

I'm not a fan of comments about how eating healthy is expensive. It's not financially expensive, it can be TIME expensive for sure. But that's a different thing and requires different fixes

I'm lucky I'm someone who can eat very basic meals (beans, rice) multiple times in a row and not get bored of it. It saves me a lot of time in cooking since I can just do left overs. And it saves money because I can easily make food at home that I enjoy.

But not everyone is like that.

I know that Target sell their prepackaged salads at like $3.20 each. I usually grab those at the end of the day at times. I would also grab a couple of Sparkling Ice water. They are like half the price of soda.

This. People look at organic pre packaged salads and claim veggies are expensive. An entire head of lettuce is only $1.75. A 2 lb bag of carrots is $1.55. Container of mushrooms is $2.

To add to your time expense comment. Yeah you'll spend more time eating healthy than you would eating frozen tv dinners but like you said there are fixes for that. I'll take 1-2 hours every Sunday to cook a big batch of something healthy. Veggie stir fry, chicken noodle soup with a ton of veggies in it, prep or bake some chicken breast, etc. Yeah that's a couple hours of effort but the rest of my lunch that week is as simple as taking those leftovers out of the fridge and popping them in the microwave so the time sink evens out.

Yeah, I don't know why prices are being discussed when the real matter at heart (perhaps a cholesterol clogged one) usually boils down to one of two things: not liking healthy food or simply not having the time for it. The majority of people seem to prefer artificially sugary and oily foods to things like fruits or baked/steamed/whatever vegetables.

Couple that with a sedentary lifestyle and you have a recipe for obesity and other health issues.

BMI is bullshit. This should be calculated on body fat percentage.

Before everyone jumps on me advocating for denying we're fat, it's more likely we're fatter than you think. Skinny fat is far more common than being jacked and slightly overweight. So in reality the amount of obese people is probably higher than what they're claiming.

Sugar is not necessary, for anyone. What I want is for it to not be subsidized. If you want to help poor people, encouraging them to eat healthier would be a good place to start.
