I wonder how much of this comes from dieting nonsense on Reddit and blogs.

Well, since over 40% of the world is considered overweight … maybe we should have fewer calories.

Losing weight too fast can destroy your organs, so this is a very stupid take.

Slowly eating fewer calories isn’t going to cause this. Quit overreacting

Lemmy logic on full display again. A user merely mentions that almost half the world’s population is overweight and could stand to lose some weight - and the response is “stupid take, losing weight too fast can destroy your organs.”
And people are actually upvoting that. Great. Just great. Good job, guys.

and think he has more downvotes than upvotes.

It’s a fine take. You just dislike AI and you need dopamine from online arguing.

its actually biologically dangerous to lose a lot of weight at once if you way hundreds of lbs over your limit. its the same for pet dogs and cats.

If that 60% of people who aren’t weren’t occupied with working hard not to starve they might take offense to your use of “we” (Satire)

Food isn’t expensive - high quality food is. Junk is cheap which is why obesity is especially issue with low-income families. Nobody is starving.

I don’t know where you live, but where I live junk is stupid fucking expensive compared to veggies, and an increasing number of people are still overweight. A single 300-350g frozen pizza will set you back at least 6EUR, I can easily buy fresh veggies for a meal to feed a family of 4 people for 12EUR, that takes 30min to prepare, less if you try to save money. I simply don’t buy in to the whole cost premise being the reason.

I am not talking about people who have easy acces to processed foods.
I don’t have exact stats nor know how big% of the world that is but people going to bed hungry and being underweight is absolutely still happening.

Maybe they should eat the other 40%. ;)
