Because it's not a problem of knowledge, it's a problem of policy. For all their talk of "free markets" the rural right has managed to milk out billions of subsidies for the worst quality crops, so that the price sensitive (poor) end up buying calorie-rich, nutrient poor garbage.

Stupid people don't go "why do I feel like shit oh it must be a vitamin deficiency or something"... they just go "oh better shove some moon pies down my throat, only 0.032 cents per calorie".

To make matters worse the right wing media has taught the poor that intelligent people are their enemy, that facts are not trustworthy, and that eating healthy is just a libtard fad to make them feel dumb, or perhaps a (((globalist))) plot to make them pledge allegiance to an autistic swedish girl. So the idea of improving themselves by spending more on real food is taken as an attack on America. And they end up taking pride in their fat bodies. Having a fit body is seen as politically suspect. Visit a flyover state and instantly the backhanded compliments begin. "Oh you must be on a diet, live a little! Why are you eating a vegetable? That must be the fad in the big city ha ha! I bet you're not used to eating normal food huh"

It can but it won’t. One of my past professors and a military brat and officer says capitalism is a subsidised war at the local level. Obesity and athleticism will always be two important tools used by technocrats. One hides and the other gives it away. In several regions that were first opened to foreigners of countries with no former diplomacy. Researchers found women incubating eggs that were not theirs and men sterile. It was done by foreign intelligence officials on the natives as to appease their appeal. Forcing them to economic overture. What you saw was an obese native population experimented on. And a foreign population in tip top shape. Remember beauty predominates the realm of selection. With history we know science is only there for it.

I mean, we know what a healthy diet is. It's not like we don't know why people are fat. It's a matter of people being willing to change their personal habits and government willing to regulate and legislate in a fashion that discourages people from eating large quantities of unhealthy shit.

It’s not so hard seeing the involvement of technocrats. Most cash businesses make profits off of goods sold by bulk wholesale only. You need an account. To purchase gem quality diamonds you need let’s say $1bn upfront delivered to the main wholesaler. To open a cocaine/meth/heroin etc account you need let’s say $500mn up front sold in bulk only. From the bushels you can get an idea of what goes where, what happens, who is making surplus. The idea is not many people have $500mn or a $1bn to open up accounts so they need to go to the second wholesale market. Trickles down all the way to the end user. Not many people can say they have $500mn in untraceable cash ready to go. Unless they are coming from a low accountability country.

You missed the point, of course we know how to be healthy, but it has the extremely unpleasant side effect of hard labor and denial of pleasure. What we expect from advanced science is a miracle way to eat junk like a pig while sitting around, yet still be ripped and feel great. THAT is the goal we should be working towards, not just constantly echo DIET and EXERCISE, rigid routines for the rest of your life, and NO guilty pleasures. For now, its the only way.
That's lame, and we expect better.
Unfortunately, biological science has hit a brick wall here, and we are much more likely to conquer cancer and deadly viruses long before any magic can address the ULTIMATE GOAL of achieving fitness and health, along with gluttony and sloth. Its not wrong to desire this.

The thing is, once you're ripped you can eat anything you like within reason. Muscle men take an entire day out of their week to gorge on guilty pleasures, even.

The cult of fitness predates gym culture, it was rooted in a neurotic consumerism of looking good at the beach, health food and dieting and was quintessentially american.

It depends on the level of fat aswell. We have a skewed perception of what is fat on both sides of the spectrum. OPs image is morbidly obese, but he would be seen as the baseline for being a novel fat guy while obese would be "chubby" or "stocky"

> just some basic ass physical activity
This does next to nothing for preventing obesity. The issue is what is perceived as normal portions, the added fat and sugar obfuscating how many calories are in things, and the convenience based snacking, fast food, grazing culture that the way modern life is structured makes normal.

The majority of people in the west have an eating disorder (and I would include those autistic about their food in the same category) you focus on the 4% or so that are clearly morbidly or super obese, i'm more concerned with the 60% that are "chubby" boomers and fratboys, and the fact that not being at least this means you need to be part of a particular "fitness" consumer clique.

I'm willing to bet 95% of obesity is caused by sweet things. Just dont eat sweets. Cut them out. Pop, ice cream, candy, those juice containers that you buy in the supermarket that have like 30 grams of sugar per cup. Literally none of those are esential in our diets but fats are villified for some reason.

It really starts with shitty parenting and kids becoming dependant on sugar at an early age, now people cant even drink regular water without sweetening it.
