It appeals to fat middle aged women that haven't had sex in years. That's the market for chocolate.

I grew up in an affluent NE town and graduated in an affluent NE town and haven't really had chronic diarrhea myself or anybody I 've closely associated with. Like we were taught from an early age to stay away from fast food.

There's definitely more than a correlation between the poor/middle class and the upper class and their lifelong dietary choices. It's almost not fair.

I've used a sidewinder for years, decent enough keyboard. I still have it but it just sits in my closet as a backup.

Dang, you're a heavy boy. It's fantastic that you're making an effort towards losing some weight and healthy eating but you seriously need to learn how to make even somewhat healthy food taste good. I'm not a fat guy, but I'm definitely a glutton at heart and can balloon up to your weight and probably past it without self control so I'll share what's worked for me:

You've probably been eating like shit for a long time, so it's unreasonable to all of the sudden do a 180 and eat ONLY super healthy food and disregard the taste. With this mindset you are only setting yourself up for failure. Instead of going hard as a motherfucker and eating only boring no oil chicken and boiled broccoli, learn some relatively healthy recipes for lean meats and veggies, buy some spices and make some still healthy foods that taste great and instead practice portion control (which is most of what weight management is to be honest), and excessive. Also don't underestimate making very small changes and steps towards a healthier lifestyle. If you're used to drinking a couple of sodas a day, even cutting out a couple of sodas a week will make a difference in the long run. Do you drink coffee or tea every day with sugar? Take one less spoon or even no sugar. It seems minor in the short run, but over time it adds up. True change doesn't happen in a day, or a week or even a month. It takes time, man.

I'm not an expert in this shit, but what's working for me and for a lot of people is intermittent fasting. Google it and look at what works for people, but for me it's simply not eating foods before 10-11am and past 9-10pm. There are days that I'm craving something salty and savory at night and as silly as that sounds, I'll basically put some spices or seasonings on a plate and eat those.

It probably initially started as viral marketing and then mongoloids started memeing it.

Depends where you live and yes you can, because plenty of people do. They get some help from the government and it's arguably a shit existence, but they can live on minimum wage.
Also some states have a relatively high minimum wage. Here it's $12/hr.

I've worked in restaurants and retail for years and I've never made anything even close to minimum wage, because I'm not a fucking idiot and can apply myself even at a relatively low paying, shit job.
