Dubbed "The Most Unhealthy City in America". 50% of the people are obese, and diabetes is running rampant.

This is the promo for a new reality show coming out where some famous British chef comes to WV to try and change diet habits and behavior. Check out how the kids in school don't even recognize what a tomato is, and scarf down pizza for breakfast in the cafeteria. The resistence to eating healthy by the adults is crazy too. I'm not a big reality show guy but this one looks interesting... lol.

That America can go get fucked imo.

Lol, right? I bet if someone constantly called her a FATTY she would get some MOTIVATION to not die from stuffing her mouth.

Shit I got fat as fuck after I got out of the Marines. You don't cry about it, you DO something about it! I lost 23 motherfucking pounds in 5 weeks and counting! It's really not that hard.

that america changes your health insurance premium

that america allows food corporations to genetically engineer what is left of real food, run local farmers out of business, and scathe the natural world in the process.

that america elects your president, paves your roads, builds your cars, makes your toothpaste.


the reality is we are all in this together, and it's naive (at best) and just as destructive to tell the other half to fuck off.


anyways, this tv program is unfortunately just touts another bandaid and not a cure for the disease of western culture. the roots of the problem lie in the monetary system, consumer culture, and wonton pursuit of temporary pleasures and temporary respite from pain.

why do people eat like this?

Because mom doesn't cook like she used to anymore.

Why doesn't mom cook like she used to anymore?

Because unhealthy, processed food is extraordinarily cheap due to the well oiled gears of global industrialized food, and because people spend all their money on stupid tripe they can't afford like expensive mobile phones, big houses, golf clubs, purses, etc instead of on food that will help save their lives and the planet.

Additionally, people are too lazy to cook and learn more about food because they are too busy watching shitty reality tv programs like this instead of doing something positive for their world.

And lastly, the entire cultural-educational system (going back to my comment about 'mom', which is used in a metonomical sense) does not encourage healthy lifestyle, diet, or eating. Everyone is taught by the television that you can be healthy simply by buying packages that have a certain label on them.

Extremely well said. Although this sounds like a manifesto of sorts

Just don't start making your own soap!
