[quote=Anonymous]As a scientist working in the medical field, I can’t relate to any of this. The increased prevalence of obesity-induced diabetes, hypertension, cardiac issues and obesity-linked cancers are costing this country MORE THAN A HUNDRED BILLION A YEAR. YOU and your children are paying this price through taxes and a deeply unequal, access-challenged and expensive healthcare and pharmaceutical system. When are Americans going to wake up and realize that talking about feelings is less important than saving lives, increasing quality of life, and providing more access to better and cheaper healthcare? It’s like debating when is the right time to discuss gun control after a mass shooting. No, the gun control should have happened already. Or like debating individual liberties in a pandemic. No, just wear the mask. Here, it’s: just shut up and try not to be so out of control you give yourself diabetes, the treatment for which society has to pay for. The point is - as usual, you’re not discussing the right thing. Please talk about sustainable healthcare. We all must do our part to stay healthy. [/quote]
