    You have to consider that this is, in some cases, issue of mental health, money, or education.
    Garbage foods are the ones most readily available, and health care much less so.

    That obviously doesn’t apply to the person going on tv to promote this lifestyle

        Overeating, drug addiction, even workaholism and endless accumulation of wealth are all maladaptive coping mechanisms due to unintegrated trauma.

          I feel like casting actions that society views negatively as all the result of trauma is… probably wrong? Like in the case of drugs, sure some people use them as a coping mechanism or whatever, but most people don’t have secret trauma and just think that drugs are fun.

      Yes, it’s often education. And that’s something more educated people can help, too.

      The promoting person could be some kind of mentally illness. Our brain loves to lie about facts that could hurt us.
