This, but direct those subsidies to sustainable farms. If even a fraction of the ag subsidies that go to these monoculture megacorporate bemoths who are hellbent on poisoning not only the soil and water, but the populace as well, we'd have large scale sustainable farms producing the same volume of food only it would be nutritious and healthy and w/o simultaneously turning the earth into a cinder block.

>What about European countries who have government healthcare, they don't have as much of any issue with obesity as us.

I suspect that's because those countries didn't get industrialize food until far later. If you look at the data for world obesity, the US used to be at the top of the list, and England was not far behind. That's because the US and the UK were the first nations to industrialize food production, and those places where were cheap junk food was widely available first. Now those things are becoming commonplace in other countries, and as that happens their obesity rates skyrocket too.

The ultimate cause of obesity is lack of willpower combined with easily available cheap food, and that in turn is dependant on industrialization. Europe is now getting fat where as the US did it decades ago because we industrialized decades before.

Insecure, obese brainlets spotted. You guys are a parasite to society, everyone recognizes this. Here is an excerpt that should trigger you guys, but I'd be surprised if you have the reading comprehension required to understand anything more complicated than a CNN/Fox News headline.

>Body mass index (BMI) and intelligence appear to be negatively correlated, particularly in late adulthood [12–14]. However, rather than being attributable to common underlying mechanisms and parallel development, this relationship seems to be serial, although the direction of causation is disputed. Some suggest that obesity leads to vascular risk factors that cause or exacerbate neurodegeneration, thereby resulting in greater cognitive decline [14–16]. Others argue that more intelligent people generally maintain a more normal BMI, as they are more likely to eat a healthy diet and to exercise regularly [17–19].
