I have no idea how the rampant obesity among the middle class and wealthy fits into this narrative. If you consume more than you burn, you get fat. Eat less and exercise more to not be fat, run a calorie deficit to lose weight. Duh. I remember when it was lefty to endorse actual science and biology. Now it’s right wing to be cognizant of biological facts that don’t support a victim narrative. The things that are political issues are amazing now. What’s next?

You really don't think there's an issue with America's food supply? Why are so many of the products used widely in the American food chain (BVO, high fructose corn syrup, ammonia-laced beef, chlorine-laced chicken, pork full of ractopamine, etc.) banned in so many other countries? These products are included in a large variety of low-cost foods, like fast food, for example, which we all know utilizes "pink slime" to fill out their menus. Dollar menus are cheap alternatives for families but they are always the worst food you could eat.
So you have a cycle of people who can't afford food that won't kill them and a country that authorizes the use of products known to make people ill in the food they can afford.
