  1. Nah, Joe would say it's a "simple" lifestyle choice. All day fasting or buying organic, grass-finished, opera-serenaded bison would be the way to go, income be damned (at least in his world).

  2. Let's also talk about how the most unhealthy things are prominent in our food supply because of government subsidies. There's a very good reason a cheeseburger is $2 while a salad is $6. Let's talk about industrial pollutants in our food supply and in our blood which causes thyroid and endocrine systems to become impaired. It's not a reasonable inference that nearly half of the nation just makes bad diet choices or can't put the fork down. Obesity is certainly a factor, but the metabolic authorities in every comment section (not including the OP in this necessarily) dismissing it as a "simple" lifestyle choice are really missing it.
