It’s an argument, try refuting it.

Sure:
This is obesity in 1990:
This is obesity in 2015:
We didn’t suddenly mutate into the fat X-men.
Learn more about the American Heart Association's efforts to reduce death caused by heart disease and stroke. Also learn about cardiovascular conditions, ECC and CPR, donating, heart disease information for healthcare professionals, caregivers, and...
So on and so forth…

Yep. Well said.
Yep. Well said.
Of all the directions this thread could go, this is probably the most ridiculous:
Soda:
Facts about Sugar-Sweetened Beverages and Consumption
Fast Food:
The average American eats fast food 159 times a year. That's 3 times a week.
Might as well just re-post this:
Damn you hyperpalatable foods, damn you!
and this one:
By The Numbers: What Americans Drink In A Year | HuffPost Life
"AdAge recently reported on American per capita beverage consumption for 2010. Perhaps it comes as no surprise that carbonated soft drinks are the most-consumed beverages, with an average of 44.7 gallons consumed per person, per year. "
45 gallons of soda a year. That’s 5,760 oz = 720 servings of Pepsi = 19,440 grams of sugar from soda alone a year (assuming Pepsi is the drink of choice). That’s about 288 sodas a year. I mean my God.
Fast Food Still Major Part of U.S. Diet
“Fast Food Still Major Part of U.S. Diet
Most Americans believe fast food is not “good for you”
by Andrew Dugan
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Eight in 10 Americans report eating at fast-food restaurants at least monthly, with almost half saying they eat fast food at least weekly. Only 4% say they never eat at fast-food restaurants. But slightly fewer Americans eat fast food weekly now than did so in 2006, when Gallup last asked about it.”80% eat fast food monthly with 76% responding that the food itself was not too good or not good at all for them. YET THEY EAT IT ANYWAY
How the fuck can you possibly sit here and say it’s Corporate Americas fault people are fat. They put out a product or products that people clearly want.

Charles Murray is once again peddling junk science about race and IQ - Vox
Charles Murray the author of the Bell Curve is a heretic too
Something pointed out to me:
This article that recently came out from leftist rag Vox :
The lies are coming apart, what’s old will become new again
Now demonstrate excercise and diet are effective in fighting obesity long-term
He did post the link right before the quote block. That said, it’s hilarious a blog post by “Jaymans” is supposed to be taken seriously.
Ok, fair. I will withdraw that
This is postmenopausal women:
Lifestyle interventions for weight loss are the cornerstone of obesity therapy, yet their optimal design is debated. This is particularly true for postmenopausal women; a population with a high prevalence of obesity yet towards whom fewer studies are...
This is really not complicated.
This is really not complicated
Its also really not worth it. I mean if he had an ounce of intellectual honesty he’d be able to understand that science is almost never about “WILL someone CHOOSE to follow this protocol?” and is almost always about “IF someone DID CHOOSE to follow this, would it work?” Raj is posting about the entirely wrong fucking question.
Diet and exercise work as treatments for people who choose to do them.

Lol, right… I’m reminded of CTs transformation:

If our personalities are highly heritable, isn’t that a relevant scientific question?
I’m not going to post it because I know you don’t read things that go against your opinion but impulse control has shown to have a sizable genetic component.

Interesting. I’m curious if they’ve kept the weight off after the 12 month period. 3 year studies and 10 year studies posted in the link I posted show different results

Is the stance that certain people are incapable of change when it comes to being overweight because their genetics make them too prone to impulses?
If genetics do play a large part in impulses I would wonder to what extent that it couldn’t just be ignored with hard work and perseverance.
He shaved his head. Better lighting. (Insert ankle biter excuse here) Lmao.
If humans can overcome addictions to heroine, tobacco and other nefarious compounds than they can overcome their impulse to eat garbage food.
You have to want it and take personal responsibility for it. Blaming your genes for your life choices is the most intellectually weak thing a person could do. It’s even worse to give other people an out, because addiction/obesity “runs in the family”.

It’s amazing they conceded previous talking points

That’s pretty much where I fall too. I’ve seen people overcome heroine, alcohol, and so many other vices that straight up cause chemical imbalances in your brain. If people can beat those, putting down the cheeseburgers shouldn’t be impossible by any stretch.
