most problems in human culture thus far are caused by humans thinking a cheap shortcut is equal to actually putting in the work

My problem with this is the implication that losing weight the traditional way (diet and exercise) is something that people are choosing not to do. Weight loss is extremely difficult if not impossible for many people for a myriad of biological reasons. There isn’t anything immoral about taking a medication that has the potential to help you with this if losing weight is something you want to do. IMHO. 💕

the problem I have with this line of thought is that these people could’ve avoided the weight they have to lose by not taking the cheap shortcut of ultraprocessed foods, which many of them more than likely have lived a lifetime consuming: and while that’s not their fault entirely either the problem is the cheap shortcut of ultraprocessed foods shouldn’t have ever been allowed to happen: corruption in the system we have to root out

Yeah but I wouldn't necessarily call it a cheap shortcut either, as someone in rural America the current situation is super frustrating For about 25k people in this parrish to get anything more than a Walmart it's a minimum of a 40 minute drive, for about 75% of that population for them to get anything more than a dollar store is 15 minutes period. https://www.researchamerica.org/press-releases-statements/national-survey-shows-affordability-and-access-to-nutritious-foods-is-a-challenge-for-many-americans/

Subsistent farming is possible too That literally all these people you mention “can’t” grow some kind of vegetables or whole foods at home seems highly unlikely I know many of them maybe don’t have the space, but probably literally do have the time if they weren’t on their phones watching TikTok all day
