I blew up to be 5’9” 300lb man after getting out of the military. Depression and alcohol did a number on me, all while I had no concept of proper nutrition. 3 years ago, I committed to a healthy lifestyle and I’m down 150lbs. Literally half the man I used to be.

Also the elimination of PE classes where kids actually exercise.

"Occam's Razor" means the simplest explanation of something, is usually the correct one.

This has been my most recent health journey, understanding how calorie dense most foods are and adjusting my portion sizes accordingly. I don’t cut things out that I enjoy, but I may only eat part of it. And it’s been very easy compared to other dieting methods, it’s slower but I don’t feel enslaved by it.

I think people are about to get slimmer... food is no longer cheap and not tasty... its been a week since I've been to a restaurant...

Also our culture and general habits around food has changed drastically. When my parents were growing up, snacking was generally frowned upon and dessert was only for special occasions and holidays. Clever marketing and fake science from the American Heart Association changed that and now we eat all these hyper palatable foods 24/7

It's true. Food is more accessible and cheaper than ever before and people take in more calories than they burn.

[Highdensity]

Don't forget hours worked is an all time high. People don't have the energy or the free time to cook healthy foods. Both parents now have to work. Before only one parent had to work

[tylerlynn]

It also has to do with the composition of our cities and towns not being conducive to walking or moderate amounts of physical exercise throughout the day. Car dependency.

[cheeseballs]

Get off the ultra processed food. I've been losing 3 lbs. A week. Quit drinking soda, started eating oatmeal for breakfast, fruit through the day, protein and veg for dinner, a little cottage cheese or a protein shake and a little snack before bed.

[jarde]

It’s probably all of those things

Our diet is so far removed from a typical human diet from 100 years ago… let alone 1000 years ago

[ericmorgan]

It was around that time of the 60/70s, that “Narcissism”, became the religion of choice, and “Self” became ‘god’.

[WilliamAGould]

A big reason is corn syrup in almost everything edible and drinkable.

Remove corn syrup from the food supply and people will lose weight.

[FootVampire]

Is it really cheaper than ever before? Food prices in sweden are crazy high

[mira]

I'm not provegan anymore but when I went vegan for the animals I stopped eating a whole lot of overly processed food including sugar because 'it was made from bones' and I ate mostly fruits and veggies and just really healthy things I didn't eat fake meat either and I think that's the reason I lost so much weight and cleared up my skin by just cutting out all the junk and I never had the urge to overeat on this healthy food and I felt great! Trying to find my way back to healthier eating

Please don’t cut off the video at the most important part where the guest was going to answer the question!!!!

[duncanlamont]

Three words sum it up “ready to consume” the absence of any effort required other than opening a packet aside from the desirability how much less do you consume when you have to make it yourself?

[pzshi]

Lol just had 6 slices of medium dominos and a half hour walk before stumbling upon this.

[benh]

I can 100% confirm that I’m a porker because I like food too much.

[ShadVRGaming]

I think it’s a combination of internet and more stressful lives .
