Japan sits at 6% obesity. The US sits at 43%.

And the biggest reason is environment.

I saw it firsthand traveling to Japan. In 2 weeks there, I rarely saw anyone overweight.

Not because they were dieting. Because of how they lived.

They walk everywhere. Their version of "fast food" has whole ingredients, high protein, rich in fiber. Meals are built around real food by default, not by discipline.

Nobody was counting macros. Nobody had a meal plan app.

There is no body positivity. Being slim is the standard and they take it seriously.

Meanwhile, the most obese countries on this list share the same pattern: car culture, processed food access, sedentary defaults, and acceptance as part of their culture.

You can't move to Japane. But you can build your own environment.

Walk more. Eat real food. Make the healthy choice the easy choice.

When you brag about subsidizing people with their own tax money to ease the financial suffering caused by failed government policies you might be a liberal.

250 years, and your empire has been reduced to a single island the size of Michigan, with a GDP barely higher than Mississippi, the poorest of our fifty states.

Enjoy your warm beer in that unairconditioned old pub.

Don’t talk too much shit online though, you might get arrested.

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.

never thought i’d say this… i wholeheartedly agree with elizabeth warren.

also, term limits.

being an elected representative should not be a career. there should be no path for wealth creation or perpetual income from representing the interests of the people, in service of the people.

private citizens should enter public service, leave, and return to private life, as the founders intended.

“politician” has become a lucrative career option for those skilled at public oration and persuasion.

while they may represent their constituents’ interests, the reelection mandate incentivizes short-term decision-making and voting, often counter to the long-term interests of the people.

and having unfettered private market access while holding the privileged position of influence over, and non-public knowledge of, those markets will inevitably incentivize bad behavior, to the politician’s benefit, and the public’s detriment.

these ideals may be too far-fetched for our modern political machinery to consider - they would be self-defeating of the machines themselves - but the citizens can still be deafeningly loud in demanding them.

thx senator warren for getting this half-right.. also, term limits.
