It’s both. I do recognize, and agree with most of what you’re saying. The junk food industrial complex is real.
But people have autonomy and if you took their burgers away tomorrow they’d riot.
> It's not an eating disorder to eat junk food in America.
It absolutely is a disorder to eat to the level you described in your previous comment.
Just because millions of people take part in it, and it’s socially acceptable doesn’t make the way Americans eat not an eating disorder. They’re also aware, not silent, or ignorant. Everyone knows junk food and eating until you want to throw up is bad for you.
And yes I fully understand there are people out there inventing ways to make food even more addictive. Fuck those people. Those are the worst people.
So you're saying ordering any food from a fast food restaurant is an eating disorder?
The average combo meal clocks in at nearly a thousand calories at a minimum at essentially every fast food restaurant in America even if you just drink water with it.
I get where you're coming from, but it is entirely too easy to not see the bigger picture and to blame the victims of the system. The system is fucked, it is fucked on purpose because that is profitable, most people are too stupid too ignorant or at least two uninformed to know about it and even more so do anything about it.
Blaming overweight Americans for their overweightness just lets you personally feel better about yourself while doing nothing to actually identify or solve the problem.
> So you're saying ordering any food from a fast food restaurant is an eating disorder?
No. I explicitly said “ It absolutely is a disorder to eat to the level you described in your previous comment.” Because you previously said,
> … Triple burger, large fries, large drink. People are doing this once a day every day of the week. Then they go home and order more high calorie food with high calorie drinks and constant snacking.
What you described here is textbook disordered eating.
> Blaming overweight Americans for their overweightness just lets you personally feel better about yourself while doing nothing to actually identify or solve the problem
> most people are too stupid too ignorant or at least two uninformed to know about it and even more so do anything about it.
And I’m victim blaming?
It’s hilarious and ironic that you both decided to place these two sentences next to one another, and also felt the confidence to attack my character for using the term eating disorder. Take a look in the mirror.
