A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

You have a massive obesity problem that is killing you and it is not normal.
The entire American food pyramid and food ecosystem was explicitly designed to create metabolic disorders and enslave the American people to the for-profit medical system. It’s why raw foods with zero processing (and so, zero additional costs) cost several multiples more than highly processed foods (which cost much more to produce).
Y’all all need to largely remove the bottom level of the food pyramid from your diet, and start viciously curating highly-processed foods out of your diet.
Michelle Obama tried tackling this and fast-food PR destroyed her with claims she was "fat shaming".
There's a huuuuuge lobby to fight in order to solve this and it should be tackled. But again, profits will be put before people's health and lives.
The obesity problem in the US is so bad, the Army is facing issues finding enough recruits fit for service. There's even a program to get people back into shape just so they can try to get into the Army.
