31. The same, what I instantly thought. Dont the

judgers understand the very unhealthy, dominant 'food system' in this country? Cheap, mass produced 'food' filled with additives, high fructose corn syrup, mostly GMO and chemicals everywhere in this hyper consumerist society. (The harmful effects of smoking cigarettes (known since the 1940s at least) were covered up by the tobacco industry and advertisers for decades. The same with the oil and fossil fuel industry and climate change).

Many busy people eat on the run and can't afford the time and cost of a fitness center, gym membership or travel to a park like many professional workers. They also don't have the $ or health insurance for regular and preventive doctor visits.

I moved to a larger 'car suburb' where it's drive everywhere and few sidewalks, unlike the older city neighborhood I moved from. I put on pounds and didn't realize why for a while. No more.

People also have actual metabolic issues and psychological issues as you say.

Yes, too many in the US, mainly lower income live in 'food deserts' lacking access to affordable fresh produce, nuitritional food and healthier choices, (which often cost more, fact). Whole Foods doesn't exist in their vicinity. Even Americans with standard education don't know the issues, how damaging the corporatized high volume food economy really is, or follow the small number of books and films made on the subject, 'Fast Food Nation,' 'Forks Over Knives,' etc. in the last 20 years.

Despite many foodie media segments, is M$M really covering the issues and impacts of this system in terms of health? Michelle Obama did, her 'Let's Move' program inspired many people.

This also isn't Old Europe where healthy, fresh and home made food is still valued and the norm in many places, although the encroachment of McD's, KFC and other junk is rising there and all over.

There's more awareness in affluent urban and coastal areas- how to eat well, stay fit and the importance for health. Many parts of the US just aren't there yet sorry to say.
