The NHS estimates that almost a third of adults in the UK are obese, and that one in five children aged 10 to 11 are obese. That's a lot of people eating way too much fast and doing little to no exercise (we're all sitting on our big fat behinds way too much). What makes people overweight? Are we more likely to be obese if we're autistic? BBC journalist Michael Buerk announced recently that fat people should be allowed to drop dead and no longer trouble the NHS with their chubby troubles. He said, "The obese will die a decade earlier than the rest of us; see it as a selfless sacrifice in the fight against demographic imbalance, overpopulation and climate change.'" (Michael Buerk)
consumer culture...the brands and corporations want you to buy their products more, hence they will do anything to make our society normalise over eating and try to make us add more meals per day. this is so they can sell more product and make more money. this is consumer culture.... hell, at one point naturally we only had like 1 meal per day.... now we have what, 3? .... some people 4? ..... others probably have anywhere up to fecking 6 meals a day lol and the corpos want to keep increasing this so we consume more and they can make more and more money. even the addition of biscuits was a consumerist addition that wasnt normal to be munching on biscuits during the day until we reached a stage of consumerist corporatism.they dont care... they want you to consume more so they can make more money. they dont care for your health or the state of the nation and its ability to raise a capable population capable of defending our borders, they dont care about that, they care about profit and making more money.
Absolutely. Combine that with our sedentary modern lifestyles (we are 50% less active than our ancestors).
