People always wanna talk about how the obesity epidemic is because “Americans don’t eat well and are lazy” but don’t realize that it’s a symptom of a very very sick system. I mean, here we are in a country where most people spend most of their day at work or in a commute to said work. It greatly cuts down on time to even prepare a proper meal, so eating out is often the solution. And the poorer you are, the less readily available healthy and calorie sufficient foods there are for you to pick from. And with the widespreadness of fast food restaurants and inavailability of other healthier options further limiting your options. Coupled with the fact that unless you live in a city(some cities tbh), you almost literally can’t walk or bike or roll anywhere and have to rely on cars which involuntarily creates a sedentary lifestyle. Coupled with the fact that the free time (during the day cause, we have to put into perspective time of day as well) to exercise or even go for a simple walk is a luxury very few are afforded. Coupled with the inaccess to healthcare for physical and mental treatments, among other factors. But yeah let’s pretend it’s all due to individual choices and not a systematic sickening of people(namely poorer and less educated people because studies show that obesity is more prevalent in poorer and less educated populations). You can’t just prescribe “diet and exercise” while willfully ignoring these contributing factors lmao

And this post isn’t “a list of excuses,” but a very real list of factors that people almost seem to never want to consider in their conversations about this topic lol

McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King all have salad options. Stop making excuses. Drink water. Nothing is forcing you to drink gobs of sugar everyday. Just switch to water and you’ll lose weight.

I live here. I qualify for food stamps. I don’t live in a city. You’re making nonsense excuses.

“Nothing is forcing you to drink gobs of sugar everyday.” Sugar is extremely addictive

This simplistic thinking makes me wanna stab myself in the face with a fork. I will not course do that. The only upside is that it generates conversation.

“trans debate” is the newest iteration of such classics as “the Jewish question” and “the Negro problem.” people aren’t debatable

How about prokofiev’s March from the love of 3 oranges? Love it, but I dunno what’s happening with oranges in the spring. It has March in the the title though!

To gain that which is worth having,

It may be necessary to lose everything else.

Anti-trans pundits keep accusing me of “redefining womanhood” so I’m going to roll with it. However, I still believe in justice for both real women and cis women. Just because a cis woman didn’t spend years thinking about her gender doesn’t mean she’s not as valid as trans women. Cis women are only being their authentic selves and deserve support too. They even sometimes go through their own gender journeys with fashion, media, and experimentation. I see no reason why we can’t support our female cisters, who are just like us despite being assigned female at birth by a doctor. Feminism means respecting all women: actual women and cis women alike.
