  • It’s Bc our actual quality of food and the food available is shit. When a fast food burger is cheaper than a bottle of water, there’s clearly something wrong with the system.

    Did y’all watch supersize me? Dude literally became addicted to fast food.

    Also I decided my new “diet” was just watching my 600lb life. I’ve never felt sexier 😂

    • I have never been to America, but my husband used to live there and I was really shocked to hear how cheap fast food is, how prolific it is, and how massive the portions are. I know the world loves to take shots at the average American for being fat, but you can hardly blame people when the place is geared towards to overeating massive portions of unhealthy food without even having to get out of vehicle. I think the rest of the world would be just as likely to be fat if they were put in the same situation.

      • I read an article where a photographer photographed kids around the world and what their daily intake of food was. For the kid in india, they said that a whole healthy meal , fruit, nuts, veggies, even meat, just cost them $3 a day, but to buy a pizza hut pizza was $15, which most families can not afford. Its no wonder we’re so fat when butter and deep fried grease is like $1.99

      • Portions are huge at restaurants unless you go to one of those upscale rich people restaurants where the portions are tiny. I assume thats how all restaurants are in europe. Usually you can go to a restaurant by yourself and spend $12 on lunch and you have enough left over for dinner. But where they get ya is the tips. You gotta pay the waiter. So its not really even cheaper unless u get it to go.

    • This is very much true. In fact do you know what moat shelters offer the homeless? They off pasta, bread and cookies. I mean you can eat it but it likely gonna make you very fat if thats all you eat

        Im not talking about the obese homeless people that you you speak off. Im sure they are happier being fat than hungry.

          • Thanks for that strawman.
            If you've gone hungry u would know that 'unhealthy ' food is way better than no food. There is no comparison.
            There can be no debate. If you continue you are a troll or thick or worse, a thick troll ;)

            • So you are saying you would rather these people eat garbage instead?

              • No, stop. You are actually legitimately straw-manning. What OP is saying is that low-quality food is superior to no food at all. Garbage is not low-quality food. To argue that bread is garbage is not very intelligent. And yes, I'm sure the people with no food would rather eat garbage than nothing.
