It certainly helps folks lose weight
Have you looked around this nation lately
I’m in Cracker Barrel crossville TN right now with four teen lads heading back from Smokies
75% of the women in here are obese to apron level fat
Men likely 40% are at least a third overweight
People today unlike my youth simply cannot control caloric intake like when I was a kid
And we excuse it
If this helps them why so angry?
Every pharmaceutical is not bad
You ever see death rates pre antibiotics
I could go on
Some people are naturally meant to be heavy - one can tell from their bone structure. Having some above average pounds has a genetic advantage overall.
Other people are overweight from eating too much overly processed food, drinking carbonated beverages that break down food in the stomach fast, and because some prescription drugs cause weight gain.
I should add that portion sizes in American restaurants are large because people expect a lot of food for the prices being charged.
Probably doesn’t help that you’re in a place that specializes in high fat, high carb comfort food. I mean just looking at their menu online is gonna ingest 500 calories. Go to a salad place, things will look different.
