I know smoking isnt healthy and therefore frowned upon. I get that. About 480k people in the USA die from smoke related causes annually. But somehow, it's culturally acceptable to be overweight. Fat shaming people is considered insensitive but over 300k people in the USA die annually from complications of being overweight. So I ask, Why aren't overweight people shunned the same as smokers?
because your number is low
more like 110 million people are over weight
while I haven't ever quit smoking , losing weight isn't easy and you have to eat food , you just have to figure out how much is the right amount.
things are made to be cheap and taste good , cheep stuff is generally heavy on carb calories , good for you stuff like meat and veg are the highest priced foods.
the cigarette manufacturers got out of smokes and into food big time in the 80s and 90s , they have since sold but they applied the same marketing to foods and engineered them to be addictive as well.
