Although his show isn't nearly as enjoyable as it used to be I do give him kudo's for hanging in there. He stood his ground on obesity and that's the one thing I think is the most important issue in America..that we're losing badly against.
shareBut, the obesity thing is just a byproduct of the larger issue that anyone can do anything to exploit people's bad behavior or habits. Sugar, fat, salts, drugs, chemical additives, plastic, pollution, garbage media. Look how long it took for the reality of tobacco to be taken seriously and how many it killed. And now it is forever chemicals and nano-plastics in everything. We do anything that can make money, any way, and damn the consequences on those dumb enough to use it - but we program and brainwash them with ads and media and guerrilla ads that we don't even know are ads.
It all worked when we were all pretty healthy and knew nothing, but over time the norm has declined to where the average American is a blithering idiot .. or at least 99% of the Americans who bother to blither online are idiots. Imagine how much tech is used, disk space, archives, tape, etc is used to keep all this BS around redundantly.
It's not just America I lived in S. Korea until 2011 they were skinny and now it's 2024 and I swear to God almost all Koreans are obese and stupid. It only took 10-15 years.
Now I'm in Thailand, once one of the thinnest countries on earth. They pile crate after crate of sugar laden junk to the ceilings of stores and supermarkets. Now over half of Thai's are disgustingly fat and/or obese.
I recall this moment from the documentary Food Inc. where the narrator was saying what do we think people who treat animals like this care about the environment or other people? It is mass murder on a subliminal level - and the people who benefit from it run the world.
