The primary driver is eating too much. There are people who are starving but we're supposed to act like the ones who overindulge are the victims? Get real.

    No, it's scientifically proven that eating too much isn't necessarily the problem; rather, it's the quality of the food you consume that determines obesity. If you eat too much unprocessed food, you won't gain as much weight as you would from eating processed food.

    Many Americans visit Europe and are amazed that they can eat a lot without gaining weight.

    The human body simply cannot process processed food. It's simply unnatural.

    This is sooo fucking wrong. Portion control in the EU is totally different. CICO is the only way you're gaining weight period. Eat to many calories you gain weight, doesn't matter what it is. Is it healthy to eat Twinkies and Doritos for every meal? Hell no, but don't act like eating upf is the only reason Americans are sitting at 70% obesity rate. Go watch secret eaters on YT for a UK take. Europeans eat a lot less calories than we do. Period.
