Obesity is a negative externality of capitalism. It demonstrates the market's success at providing cheap food, but then also its further success at propagandizing many into overconsumption. People's wills are weakened by life circumstances, then preyed upon. Like with drugs.

@wjmaggos You think people need to be propagandized into overconsumption?

@valleyforge

I think most people don't abuse drugs to the point that it damages their health. I think the difference is mostly marketing.

But as a near free speech absolutist, I don't think anything like censorship is the answer. It's moving to non ad/algo/megacorp media and a public understanding of why that matters.

@wjmaggos I don't think people do meth because of the marketing
