garbage junk food is cheaper than healthy food

let food manufacturers load up their products with so much salt and sugar that it's literally addictive

have fast food stores on every street corner so you can never escape the cheap high of eating junk food

Gym memberships are too expensive for lots of the population

no cheap public options for poor people work out

Cities are designed for cars, not for walking

claim "personal responsibility" when millions suffer physical and mental health problems as a result

I've struggled with binge eating for most of my adult life, and I'm not going to let the capitalists beat me

GET SWOLE AS AN ACT OF REBELLION, DONT LET THE BASTARDS WIN

    And we get conditioned to drink basically sugar water when we're thirsty, and often times soda is cheaper than water at the store. So we end up basically eating a candy bar worth of calories whenever we quench our thirst.

    Normal, healthy society.

          Why do you say that? Drinking water instead of soda is normal.

            I have t1 diabetes so I'm probably hyper sensitized to this but chugging water all day and soda (sugar rush) making you thirsty sure sounds like insulin resistance.

              Even for normal people, soda is usually dehydrating because of the sugar and caffeine. I'm sure that if you're diabetic you experience it more severely than other people.
