As someone from one of the most obese states in the union, the core of the issue is most definitely not portion sizes. Food quality is shit and most people will eat ultraprocessed foods on the daily because money is tight for most people and fresh/healthy food is hella expensive assuming there’s even access to it. If you have the same amount of calories in ultrprocessed food vs real food, your body will still gain more weight from the ultra processed one because it is less satiating because your body burns through it much faster.

Small scale organic farming used to be the norm in my grandma’s time, but nowadays younger people don’t know what an okra plant looks like or cracked open a pecan. Additionally if you’re even able to access and afford fresh produce it’s mainly water and is not nutritionally dense. This is an issue with the entire food system that’s been built on shipping stuff from far away and profit incentives. Not to mention the targeted advertising of ultra processed foods to kids…

Also, there’s virtually no public transit and the small amount of pedestrian and bike infrastructure is laughable and outright dangerous. You have to have a car to get to most places and most places require a lot of driving to get to depending. That means sitting down for most of the day. It’s hard for most people to get exercise in daily life without being super intentional about it, and a lot of people are overworked and underpaid on top of that, so they understandably just wanna relax. As with most things in life, the answer is always complicated.

Southern food has entered the chat.

In all seriousness, southern food is some of the best food the US has to offer IMO. There’s a shitton of diversity within the category and it has a lot of flavor and spice.

I need more of this

S tier shitpost. The ending caught me off guard.

I’m here for the wizardposting

That’s me

I regret to inform you that it has become a specific cabbage patch.

I somehow misread garbage as cabbage for this.

You’re absolutely right. We need to have many different options for many different people.

You can use some old books as a temporary leg. They look cool too.

Howdy howdy

Not quite answering your question, but I highly recommend reading Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea by Barbara Demrick. It’s a really interesting book about daily north Korean life based on accounts of defectors. It does a really good job at humanizing North Koreans and understanding how the country works for day to day life.

This is what summer does to a fella

How does this affect the trout population

Take a big shit since I can’t shitpost

I disagree. It should fit the ACAB scheme.

You could have multiple fans especially if it’s a desktop. Check if there’s another one.

Do you have an HDD or a SSD? If it’s an HDD it’s the disk inside of it making that noise and you should get a new one immediately.

Hmm, the website seems to be down.

As with most things, when big corporations take over it becomes bad. Definitely agree with you that using it as your only way of getting info is bad, but it’s not much different from relying on one influencer or podcaster for all your info other than it being more likely to be more well researched. I will say at least with my local one it’s a pretty diverse method of entertainment. They’ve got all kinds of weird and quirky shows on.
