I did not call anyone a degenerate. The vast majority of people are not overweight because of mental disorders, but because of American culture being unhealthy as fuck. If you have a eating disorder, well yeah, you need therapy. But that isn't ultimately going to make you less fat.
So what's your point here? Just yell at people with addictions to stop being addicted? Does that work with porn addicts, with alcoholics, with people addicted to heroin?
You act like 70% in America is addicted to food. The vast majority is not. It's the fact that you get a fucking litre of coke with a fucking meal that makes you all fat.
Did I say that? Of course it needs to be changed. You solve absolutely nothing by being a prick about it like this, though.
Leftism is about sympathy and helping people. Not yelling at them like a fucking /pol/ bastard about things they know are a problem, but is incredibly difficult to break out of because of the capitalist systems which created the problem in the first place.
Like I said, you don't get somebody to stop smoking by acting like a fuck like this. You get people to stop smoking by punishing cigarette company execs and gradually banning the sale of cigarettes.
We need a new version of Godwin's Law, where as the conversation with an edgy internet kid goes on, the probability of the word 'strawmanning' being invoked approaches 1.
More free time so people can cook and exercise, more public education, better nutrition in schools and other public institutions, more access to athletic facilities/parks. You can't go for a walk every day if your town doesn't have side-walks. You can't just start eating healthy if your whole life people eat unhealthy around you and the food that is easiest to get is unhealthy.
"bro just stop having an eating disorder fucking degenerate fatty lol just fix it stop eating dumbass" die
What are you proposing as a solution to people eating too much unhealthy food with too little excercise?
Health care for people with binge eating disorders, not just "lol degenerate" /pol/ garbage.

Yeah, you're right, that doesn't give children addictions to the sugars they've been exposed to their whole lives. Wow, genius.
So what's your solution to addiction? Keep doing it? And keep the culture of eating unhealthy shit going?

"Food can't be addicting"
-Me, a genius
I never said that genius. Stop strawmanning my argument. Losing weight involves eating less. There is no way around that.
