My brain needs to chill out.

I watched a video complaining about all the rising food costs in the #usa and noticed the person complaining was really big.

Then immediately thought - "Well maybe the rising food costs are a good thing for the 73% of Americans who are obese or overweight." Then horror laughed to myself for a few minutes.

I do think it's a bad thing, especially for poor families.

But maybe MONEY will finally solve the #obesity issue. Replace it with STARVATION!

Slowing down to eat less: Towards simple strategies for obesity prevention sciencedaily.com/releases/2025

ScienceDailySlowing down to eat less: Towards simple strategies for obesity preventionObesity prevention strategies often focus on diet, but eating behaviors also play a key role. In a recent study, researchers from Japan investigated factors influencing meal duration, including sex differences, chewing patterns, and rhythmic cues. Their findings suggest that eating more slowly -- by increasing chews per bite or using slow rhythmic cues -- may help reduce food intake. These insights could inform practical, low-cost obesity prevention strategies by promoting slower eating habits in daily life.

When you can predict health outcomes based on postcodes, the issue is much more than individual choice.
Mothers and kids in the outer suburbs don't choose to be more obese than those in the inner suburbs. Obesigenic environments drive health inequities.
