It was more like the late 90's when this happened. Zoomers don't remember, but there used to be a time when Doritos were just Doritos, gum came in mint, cinnamon, fruit, or just bubblegum flavor, and there wasn't much yogurt that wasn't bright colored and sugary that had flavors other than plain, vanilla, or maybe strawberry. And then seemingly overnight it seemed like every brand came out with 20 new variations of everything. It was novel at first, but people quickly realized that having more choices isn't always a good thing. That tweet is kind of disingenuous though, because it makes it seem like everything was dessert flavored, when in reality they were trying every flavor possible they thought might catch on. It was also around this time that hot sauces first really blew up. There were a few years where even my shitty middle of nowhere local grocery store had an entire end shelf with 100 different brands of hot sauce (it was a brief bubble, and most of the sauces where pretty bad).

No. Non-fat just meant 'more sugar' and 'no calories' just meant alchohol sugars that you technically didnt metabolize but in exchange if fucked up your stomach once you consumed an abritrary amount. It was the legendary era of non-food food, the era of beaver-anus-gland blueberry flavor.

Is low calorie healthier?
For the majority of the developed world population today, yes. If you're overweight then there is no better thing you can do for your health aside from reducing calories. Just eat fewer calories and your health risks for basically everything dramatically reduce.
That said, if you mean low fat diet craze (which was actually the 90s and has nothing to do with your picture), then no. Almost everyone agrees that was stupid in retrospect and based on nothing.

When you look at overall obesity rates in these charts it's counting black people.

I don't know why this seems to confuse people. Companies that make food, gum, drinks, snacks, etc. are of course going to try out new flavors. More options are better. You can ignore shitty flavors like deletos sweet chili, and just get what you like.
The tweet is disingenuous because it's trying to paint the existence of flavors as an eating disorder. I don't know what his angle is, but it has the same stench as the type of person who will go on about eating just steak and potatoes, living innawoods and spending every waking moment doing manual labor just so he can feel superior as a "real man".

Notice how all of your examples are just noun salutations. Things that organically work as slang due to being short, simple and only used toward friends.
Now read zoomer slang there are 2 types I have noticed.

The first is convoluted adjectives and verbs, often a mashing of language your HR department might use with 00s millennial e-speak. This one is not a type of slang zoomers came up with, but adopted form some 35 year old eternal soy whose tweet went viral.

Then there's one-syllable caveman utterances adopted from modern african americans. These differ from similar adaptations in the past because these utterances have more complex meanings than what the word itself might suggest. The past had things like "homie", yet another salutation that simply means friend. Zoomers have "mid", "bussin", "on god".

None of the above can be said IRL, they are tailored to use on bite-sized ADHD social media like twitter and tiktok. This is why it's different. Even millennial e-speak was different because this communication was usually through longer-form posts on forums, and they didn't use the internet to talk to people until early adolescence. Zoomer brains simply work different because they've been glued to a smartphone or ipad since the age of 6.

Just because slang has always existed doesn't mean it's always the same. Zoomers never having had a chance to develop communication skills is unprecedented in history.

Shocker, that's what's been happening since at least the 70s. Why the fuck do you think obesity has taken off like it has? These ideas that people are just eating enough to turn into blimps relative to their ancestors without any blame on the food itself being intentionally designed to keep people fat and lazy is naivety. Western governments, either out of greed or fear of uprising, has allowed the majority of food in a grocery store to be fucking awful for the actual populace that watersheds when combined with deteriorating, automotive-centric population centers, a complete lack of real activity in schools, and overprotective parents restricting movement into a population that is less healthy than its parents for several generations.

Zoomers are what, 25 at most? None of them show any of the rampant consumerist woke bullshit millenials were suckered into. If anything, zoomers are even more based than a millenial ever could be. They weren't the marvel generation, they were the star wars autists, that was you, the 30 year old soyboys posting your funkopop hoard and proudly admiring your polyamorous partner wife bought it as a present for your vesectomy so she can further guarantee you'll never have children with her.

Boomers may be the biggest dipshit assholes, but millenials are the most entitled delusional failures in history. No one can match your disappointment in life. Zoomers will trap your rewards and hopefully learn from your degenerate mistakes.

[Anonymous No.18520606]

I would argue it’s worse now.

Everything is marketed as, low-carb, keto, sugar-free, gluten free,”high protein”, and super food.

A friend of mine cooked me some teriyaki chicken. Tasted like shit, but of course I won’t say that to a friend. I was baffled by how bad it was and the grumbling it made in my stomach. I asked what sauce he used and he pulled out some bottle of teriyaki sauce plastered with “Sugar-free, gluten free, keto friendly” labels. I checked out the ingredients and it was straight up nothing but artificial sweeteners/flavors and thickeners. Pure goyslop. Don’t even get me started on the keto, non dairy ice creams that are mostly soybean oil.


Some of the most mundane things now have been healthified by ketolards. My grocery stocks up on low carb tortillas and spinach egg white tortillas. So many wines are advertised as “no sugar added!!!” as if grapes weren’t already sugary. Even the fucking liquor is advertised as gluten free. Hard seltzers across all brands market themselves as ultra filtered, no additives, no sugar added, as if alcohol isn’t as calorie dense as oil. My friend bought a fucking 6 pack of seltzers to my house that had the gall to advertise it was brewed with ancient super gains like quinoa and amaranth.

It is all so tiresome, globohomo will stop at nothing to convince normies that highly processed sneed oil food is the nu-healthy.

I think they literally don't understand that it didn't used to be normal for 60% of people to be obese. When the obesity rates were skyrocketing due to corn syrup and sneed people were doing everything they could to lose weight and the products of the time reflect that urgency everyone was feeling to stop the rapid rise of obesity. But since people weren't cutting out the things that were actually causing the problems the obesity epidemic was never solved and we instead started accepting obesity as normal. So then zoomers grow up in this world after everyone gave up on fighting obesity and they just think this is how people are and have always been, and when they look back on those diet crazes they don't see the actual circumstances that fueled it, they just think "lol eating disorders, don't they know obesity is normal?"

Everything seems simple and easy when you're already familiar with it. You have a biased perspective due to prior knowledge and need to recognize that.

To you, yes. As I said, everything seems simple with prior knowledge. My job is literally writing technical instructions and teaching people how to use things. The number one thing that people fuck up when trying to teach others is taking their own knowledge and experience for granted and assuming everyone must know certain "basic" things when that's simply not the case. Most people have no appreciation for how they acquired their knowledge; once they know something for long enough it just becomes "common knowledge" to them and they forget that it was something they had to pick up externally through observation or have taught to them.
