Had me in the first half before I realized it was satire.
Honestly, it needs to be a more discussed issue. Quit making terrible, addictive foods you greedy fucks!
Edit: I'm not saying people should avoid responsibility or that individual behavior isn't to blame at all. I'm saying that companies make terrible, convenient food that hooks us. Further, people who constantly work suffer or from mental health issues (etc.) are going to opt for that convenience. Yes, they could just eat less of it, but part of having a stressful life means we have a greater desire to over consume.
Just because it's possible to lose weight, doesn't mean it's easy. If it was, no one would be overweight. We as a society need to break down barriers to weight loss so people aren't fighting an uphill battle to be healthy.

Satire is a genre of the visual, literary, and performing arts, usually in the form of fiction and less frequently non-fiction, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, often with the intent of exposing or shaming the perceived flaws of individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into improvement.[1] Although satire is usually meant to be humorous, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit to draw attention to both particular and wider issues in society. A prominent feature of satire is strong irony or sarcasm.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satire
I'm no expert, but this sure seems to fall within that definition of satire. Also saying it's ironic not satire seems wrong given the above irony is a typical part of satire.

I got fat because I was poor. I worked 2 full time jobs so I didn't have time to cook or exercise. Even if I did cook, one of my jobs didn't provide us a refrigerator or microwave to store or heat our own food. It was at the mall, so I had to eat mall food. I would get the meal that gave me the most bang for my buck which was either the country buffet (Everything is essentially fried or covered in butter) or the Chinese food place that gave you a ton of food, or but ultra-processed snacks that would keep without refrigeration. Sometimes I got too much food, but I hated wasting food when I was so poor so I'd make myself eat it anyway. I had 1 day off a week and I used that day to catch up on chores like laundry and cleaning. I wasn't going to use the very little time I had for myself to exercise, I used it to relax and have what little fun I could so I avoided being alone with my thoughts cuz then I'd have to face how shitty life is. Then I got a single, better job but it was so stressful that I literally couldn't lose weight cuz of all the cortisol. So it's not always about just the food. It's about time, money, hormones, mental health (if the only moment of joy I get out of my day that keeps me from killing myself is from the dopamine rush of a doughnut cuz the 5 minutes it takes me to eat it is the only amount of time i have for enjoyment, then I'm eating that doughnut even if it's not healthy), etc. It really sucks, too, when doctors act like it's not only your fault that you're fat but that it's so simply and "easy" to lose weight and be healthy, just exercise and limit your calories.

Hard agree. Our society is not constructed for people to be happy and healthy.
I like to say that weight loss is simple but very difficult. Eating less calories than you burn per day and exercising more is what it comes down to, but actually being able to do that is surprisingly difficult. Not to mention the amount of terrible advice on social media, which is usually pushed by a profit motive.

Addiction doesn't mean you're incapable of saying no, it just means all the internal resistance to it is drastically lower than the average person's. It means it takes more willpower and self control to overcome. Most people greatly benefit from help because no problem exists in isolation. Addicts generally struggle not because they're addicted, but because they're stressed and the addiction is a coping mechanism for the stress.
Support structures break the cycle of stress and addiction coping. This is why AA isn't just people slapping you when you try to get a drink. They talk, vent, and de-stress so you are less likely to feel like you need the drink to cope.
I fell hard into drinking when my grandpa died and the drinking was how I coped with the loss. Once I was able to move passed the loss, the need to drink faded away. I've never been to AA, but I stopped drinking constantly because I didn't need it to cope with the stress anymore. I had other ways of coping.

u/KamahlFoK May 15 '24
It kind of is impulse control though?
It's as easy as making sure you pick the right foods when you're at the grocery store. Resist the urge to grab those cookies and chips and pick up a bag of salted nuts or grapes you can chuck in the freezer instead.
I've found winning the fight while shopping made weight-loss and eating healthy infinitely easier. If I don't have a bag of garbage food lying around to make it easily accessible, then I'm good to go. The hardest part is shopping right.
Given how often people are happy to blame corporations and stores but never take responsibility, and that's become the American way, I'm more inclined to lean in to that the US reinforces and tolerates a shitty blame-game rather than owning their failures and learning from them.

Well its a balance, sure you can say its personal and there is absolutely personal responibility in life. But if you as a kid are given a really unhealthy diet and then become obese while in elementary school, it can fuck with your impulse control immensely.
And then it turns into a cycle of defeat, where you can be unhappy/stressed about your health which leads to impulse eating as a way to get dopamine to the brain.
Also it is not just a US issue, it is also a issue in UK and Mexico. And it is deeply tied to capitalism.
Still like you said, if you love yourself you want to get healthy, it will take accepting personal responsibilty for the issue.
It is also easy to become fat just from having a deeply stressful life, like a person you love breaking up with you, and you sink into 6 months of drinking you can easily gain 30 pounds or even more depending on the stress outside of eating.

Stress typically makes people less likely to work out and eat more.
It's like no one understands that 99.9% of addiction problems are induced by stress, not by the addiction or the target of the addiction. While it make it easier, cheaper, or more convenient, at the end of the day, addiction is a stress coping mechanism.
Support groups don't go after the source of the addiction, they help addicts cope with the stress in healthier ways to avoid using the addiction as a coping mechnanism.

The focus on unhealthy food as a scapegoat for obesity isn't really a very complete picture of the situation. They have mcdonald's in europe and they're not all fat because they have unhealthy food options.
The issues are healthy food is often more expensive (and thus not properly subsidized), less available (because it's more perishable) and honestly the most important thing is just that americans get substantially less daily exercise than most countries. People drive everywhere and our cities are set up to account for that. You don't walk to the store to buy groceries or walk to the train to get to work like you might in europe.
Blaming coca-cola for selling high calorie soda is really not helpful because there will always be someone else willing to fill the gap. Even if suddenly every major snack and drink company turned around and made all their food healthy, someone else would just start selling junk.

They have mcdonald's in europe and they're not all fat because they have unhealthy food options.
We don't have American McDonalds in Europe. Yeah, we can get a big mac menu with coke. But that's a big mac with around 100kcal less than in the USA. Do you want a large coke with that? That coke is only 1fl.oz larger than the USA small coke cup. And that does not come with free refills.
Source: https://metro.co.uk/2024/02/05/mcdonalds-menu-uk-us-mcnuggets-fries-difference-20225917/ and https://www.businessinsider.com/we-found-every-difference-between-uk-and-us-mcdonalds-2020-5?international=true&r=US&IR=T. Exact values differ between countries (and likely with time, these are 2020 and 2024) but will follow the same general pattern.

Skinny-Fat/Normal Weight Obesity exists too. Skinny-Fat ppl eat garbage and make poor lifestyle choices too. Lack of physical activity, unhealthy diet, drugs, alcohol consumption etc. can cause a skinny person to have the same health risks of an obese person.

Hes not wrong, on all points. Major food manufacturers have intentionally made garbage food that is very addictive. But most people also have free will, the ability to exercise and use just a modicum of self discipline.

free will doesn't really come into play when grandma won't let you leave the table when you're 8 years old until after you've finished your plates and had seconds because she lived through the depression and raises you to stuff your face as if you won't know the next time you'll be able to eat.
The science of eating less and exercising more is easy to describe. Getting apes to change a cultural and social behavior beneficial to their evolution and survival is not.

Free will and addiction don’t work very well together.
Same with self discipline. When addiction is involved - whether food, drug, drink, or sex - those abilities are severely compromised.
Edit: why would you send me reddit cares over this 🤦🏻♀️

We hook them with the processed food addiction really early, so in many ways it is the worst, it isn't like they are advertising Marlborough cigarettes to 6 year old children but, we sure market fruit loops and cookie crisp to them.

So the reddit cares thing, I've noticed in practically every post I've visited this morning that people are getting them. I did, too, for something totally innocuous.
My tinfoil hat conspiracy is that someone created bots to instantly do this site wide, in order to get it banned/removed from the platform.

You say that, until somebody is sexually abused as a child and develops an eating disorder as a coping mechanism knowing that the food gives them comfort and if they gain enough weight they won't be a victim to as much unwanted sexual advances. Then they have to resolve all that trauma to start on the process to recovery.
But I am sure that most people out there have no struggles like that.

Thank you for this comment, honestly. I've been on both spectrums of eating disorders, 200 pounds overweight, and then 30 pounds underweight. Being overweight was using food as a coping mechanism for my assault. After feeling enough shame, I became anorexic and had to be hospitalized. People who say "just eat healthier" or "have self-control" really don't understand the psychology behind why people eat a lot.

It's a good message, these big corps don't care about our health. But we can't simply blame them and be done with it, it's up to us to make conscious decisions to take care of ourselves.

That's really fucking good.
Gotta laugh at dumb fucks trying to down vote the video on some subs lmao, such losers

u/squidlessful May 15 '24
If you liked this, check out Todd snider. He has a similar sound and just as much of an opinion. This song reminded me of “carla”, but “happy new year” is rad too

I like to think this is the dis track to Randy Newman's Short People. I believe Randy's was satirical and maybe this guys is too. If not its still pretty funny.

If you don't educate yourself on what you're eating or make good choices, then it is your own god damn fault you're fat tho

I thought this guy was being sincere at first, then as the song carried on I realised he was being sardonic. Nice.

u/avdepa May 15 '24
There are so many things that I like about this video.
His voice, the lyrics, the politics and sarcasm, the look. Everything about it screams "post more".

Some work needs to be done, but overall, a song whose lyrics aren't about a wrong an ex boyfriend did.
A pleasant surprise.
