[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Americans are just fat. Not that hard to understand lmao. Look at the way our women eat and drink. The same goes for other western women as well.[/quote]

There is a class component to weight.  You don’t see very many overweight parents at private schools or country clubs.[/quote]

I agree with this, and think the whole wellness industry is based on this classism.  The weathly have more time, better healthcare and better gym access so they look better.  Calm, time, organic food and exercise are what separates monied people from not monied people since so many goods are so readily available to all.

It takes effort and education to stay in shape. Maybe even a little vanity mixed in.  You can find all of these attributes in more well-to-do people. [/quote]

It takes time and effort.  Money buys that time.  I have all the time in the world in the summer and I work out a lot.  I have very little time during the school year, so I have a tendency to gain wait.  I am a poor teacher. People who earn more money than I do aren’t more highly educated or smarter, they did make different choices that bring them more time in their schedules.  
As a society, we need to decide if individual health is more important than money made by corporations. This tension was highlighted during the pandemic when people had to make choices about their personal family and health (mental and physical) vs working for capitalism.  It is playing out across national politics right now.  We know the stress and anxiety modern live gives us is detrimental to our health, the question is are companies and the government willing to give up some of their dollars to contribute to the health of ALL.
