Three things to eliminate & the obesity epidemic would be much reduced:

Sugar

Processed Food

Vegetable Seed Oils

Then we need to get rid of the TV, computers, phones--so people will move. We need to get rid of supersized, large portions. Doesn't all this sound like gun control?

No, people need to take personal responsibility for eating to dam* much (I know, I love to) and sitting around too much.

You are right--processed food is bad. I think all children, as a requirement, should be taught to cook, fish, hunt and garden as part of their education.

Totally agree on “personal responsibility” and not advocating government “control” at all - this is not like gun control. People need honest, truthful information. Then they make their own decisions .... if they want to be obese and unhealthy, have at it. If you want to be lean and healthy, you would have the info to attain that goal. It’s actually not hard, IF you have the proper information.

Unfortunately, AHA, ADA, Big Food/Ag, even Big Pharma, are opposed to people knowing the truth. All you have to do is look at the ads & the organizations/government recommendations ... the food pyramid has been upside down for decades. People are led astray, trust these sources, etc. Same as the COVID shots .... those who speak the truth are demonized, docs who know better & help patients reverse T2D & get off insulin have their licenses threatened, etc. Same old, same old.

So how does ‘good’ info work? Once I got the proper info, I reversed pre-diabetes, got rid of inflammation that was causing arthritis, heartburn, etc. & lost 65 pounds. NO sugar, NO vegetable oils & NO processed food. Meat (pastured when I can get it), some veggies that I cooked myself. Use mostly ghee, some tallow, will be rendering lard in the next week or so from pastured pork. Rarely use olive/avocado oil - if for some reason I really need ‘oil’, these are fruit oils, not vegetable seed - the issue is that they are often ‘cut’ with soybean so source is critical. So did I “exercise” to lean out? No. I have since added short (to muscle failure) high intensity exercise 2-3 times a week, about 15 minutes a session to build muscle and strength. Dr. Ben Bocchicchio and/or Dr. Al Sears are good examples of ‘exercise’ that I follow.
