Right, so as you've just admitted, the ROOT CAUSE is not eating too much. The ROOT CAUSE is the societal circumstances that push people to eat more. You're aware of what root cause means, right?

Listen, I understand it's convenient to believe that we can simply be better and fix problems. But look around you. If habits can be "fixed", we wouldn't be in this mess. This phase of sitting around with our thumbs up our asses and going "uh uhhh fatty eat less" are over. We need real solutions, made by people with thinking brains.



in the same society there are people that don't follow the bad habit advertised by society and with the amount of information and alternatives present today, I am sorry, but it's too easy to blame "society" and wait for someone else to do something. It's up to them. The solution won't come from anywhere else and yes, we can simply be better.


Yes, a small minority - about 25%.

> The solution won't come from anywhere else

Says who? You? Why would this be the case? You can't just say things and assume they're true. The solution could, and almost certainly will, come from drugs which curb addiction.

> yes, we can simply be better

Again, says who? What's your evidence for this? Because this has been our approach since forever and guess what - it's not working. That's not my opinion.

You can play blind and deaf all day, I don't care. But eventually you have to take your thumb out of your ass and start using your brain.
