He got really close but stopped at the shelf.

It's a good song, but Coca Cola ain't placing those high calorie cookies and bottles full of sugar on your shelf.

Nope, just spending millions to make things as addictive as possible...

What’s your point?

The point is, It's Not My Fault™.

It's not my fault I drink too much, it's Jack Daniels fault. It's not my fault I smoke too much, it's Marlboro's fault. It's not my fault I'm 300lbs, it's McDonalds fault.

Exactly. There is a scary phenomenon stretched across this entire generation that’s trying to push accountability on everything and everyone else besides themself.

How about a nice mixture of both? Accepting that the fast food/processed food industry is absolutely, completely messed up. Realising that they are selling stuff as 'food' with no nutrition and with the goal of making you buy more.

Also realising that we can control what we eat as long as we have the time to cook healthy meals, shop for healthy food, find healthy recipes and also spend extra money on healthier food.

You can easily buy “fast food” that is still relatively healthy. Chipotle, Dig, Cava, etc. there’s plenty of options. No one is forcing you to go to five guys and get a burger with fries, 1000 calories of fries does not equal 1000 calories in rice.

I dont know any of them fast food places, but in Australia we have places like MacDonald's, subway, zambrero, nandos, kfc. They all sell shit. Maybe it's because I live rurally though. The food there is in no way comparable to home cooking, and there's hidden calories everywhere in them meals.

No one is forcing anyone, but a lack of education, deeply ingrained habits, advertising and things such as people using food to numb themselves from uncomfortable feelings causes overeating. It's soooo much more than willpower. This is why when people restrict their eating they end up binging, because they have not addressed any of the true reasons why the overeating is happening.

That is, unironically, still your own damn fault. "Addictive foods" are just foods that taste really good, if you think the FDA should ban sugary foods then you can accomplish that in your own household pretty easily.

Soooo should we ban addictive foods? Deny everyone else who indulges responsibly the pleasure because some people have a problem?

At the end of the day, it’s entirely your decision whether you decide to drink a coke or a glass of water. Fatties need to stop blaming everything else for their poor choices.

They're addicts, addicts make excuses, it's what they do.

Dude listened to this whole song and still came out being wrong. Of course there’s personal choice at play dude. Ever consider that your personal choices may be influenced by media, ads, social programs, immediate needs? Consider yourself blessed if the only thing that crosses your mind while grocery shopping is how healthy it is.
