[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't disagree with anything in the article except that the "biggest" problem is shaming... is that really the biggest problem, or is it the stuff they're putting in our food? The article states that Americans eat fewer calories today than they did in 2003, but we're still fatter. So even if nobody was shaming us from 2003-2022, wouldn't we still have gained weight because of our food? [/quote]

The shaming is used by the lobbyists for the food companies that are actually killing us to stop any productive conversation about regulation of poisonous food and the deeply harmful food supply. Food companies, taking a page from cigarette companies, publish articles and get doctors to grow that narrative. But they rely heavily on popular culture shame to push their agenda.

So I disagree with your presumption, because I think without the shaming, as a society we would be much further along in the conversation about what will really eventually have to happen to solve this issue: significant legislation and regulation. So while I don’t think the shame is the root cause, I do think it is the biggest problem because it has effectively stopped the change that really needs to happen. [/quote]

I'm the PP, and I appreciate your perspective, thanks. [/quote]
