God fucking forbid we take any self responsibility.

I eat pretty much zero processed food and it's incredibly easy and inexpensive.

I'm fat because I eat and snack too much and it's 100% my fault.

I eat too much junk, too, but I am in pretty good shape.

I also know quite a few people who just don't have the urge to eat a lot. They tend to eat small amounts, don't finish their meals, sometimes forget to eat a meal when they're busy. It is completely not relatable for someone like me.

Between the fact that people can eat a lot without getting fat, and that people don't all have the same baseline urge to eat, I'd recommend you go a bit easier on yourself.

There are medical issues that cause weight gain fyi. Not everyone that is overweight can control it.

That's fine, I completely agree. That has nothing to do with bullshit corps forced shitty food down my throat I was responding to.

Saying that out loud nowadays makes you a public enemy in quite a few circles, sadly enough.
