[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Y'all have better healthcare access, and tighter restrictions on what counts as food/is allowed to adulterate your food.

The US has become a free-for-all of chemicals and unpronounceable ingredients, many of which haven't been properly studied, and the few that have show increases in stored body fat/resistance to insulin.

So while idiots want to make this a race or class issue, it's a food safety and food access issue, and it's gonna get a lot worse before we decide to push back against the corporate greed that created it, if anyone's alive with enough HP to actually do that.

If you doubt me, look at the skyrocketing rates of colon cancer and other cancers in people under 40 (and then stfu, because you're probably just trolling anyway). [/quote]

Colon cancer has increased in under 50 from 8 per 100,000 to 12 per 100,000.  That's a 50% increase of a very small number.

Food and diet are driving the increase in obesity worldwide.  But race and class are important factors at the individual and societal level.[/quote]
