It is a fair point, being obese and poor can definitely be a a horrific feedback loop to get out of.

In developed countries anyways, you don't really see it in places where food is scarce, of course.

Or just write it on a dive bar's bathroom stall wall just above the glory hole. Would still be less filthy than a Twitter account.

The only Jesse Watters clip I can get behind is the one where his mom tells him how disappointed she is in him for lying to people for profit.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should...

That's all part of the problem though, isn't it?

I live in central Europe and veggies and fruit are one of the first things, you see when you enter a store. They're also really affordable and you can get them in pretty much every corner store all over the town as well. There isn't a place where basic fruit and veggies are more than 15 minutes walking/public transit distance from you within the city. Never had to drive to a grocery store in my life. Some places are even open at night.

Let's not blame the people for eating like this, when that's exactly what the system is set up for.

Isn't that kind of where the current system is inching towards anyways? Rent, subscriptions, bullshit jobs and all that.

My friend told me of the horror of your menstrual cup falling into a public toilet. I'd take licking the bowl over that shit any day of the week.

Honestly? You should.

I've been in therapy for so long, I basically understand it well enough intellectually to be able to help others.

I know exactly how it's supposed to help me, but deriving actual benefit or being able to apply the techniques to myself has never been the slightest possibility.

I kinda have the inverse with anxiety.
I don't realize how incredibly anxious I am all the bloody time, until I have that brief rare window without it.

Wolfram Alpha is crying in binary for being abused like this.
