That’s an established fact, how is that an unpopular opinion?
I think there is a trend in the US to treat obesity with kid gloves and try to make everyone feel accepted and beautiful, no matter what. You’ll have things like drinking and smoking demonized for their negative health effects, but overeating and obesity is just sort of hand-waved away or even glorified. The closest thing to “All About That Bass” for smokers or drinkers is “Rehab” by Amy Winehouse. Americans want quick fixes for everything, when we can’t find one, we just normalize the thing as just a fact of life.
You should blame the food producers, not consumers. There is a thing as psychological exploitation of dopamine pathways in the brain to achieve sales of your newest sugar laden breakfast cereals.
I believe overeating would be solved simply as a side-effect of bringing back healthy food options and banning sugar products.
Just like banning drugs and alcohol has been so effective, you mean?
You can’t protect people from themselves by force. Education is the only thing that works long-term.
Banning drugs and alcohol doesn’t work… but restricting them does work. Do you think everyone around is a cocaine addict? Alcohol is culturally acceptable hence it cannot be banned until it is culturally shunned. You only need to make sugar products inconvenient to get and unpopular; while also pushing for education.
