Yeah, very tough. I mean intermittent fasting is probably a great choice to improve health (even for people with normal weight). Calling being born in the US a "disadvantage" because there's too much food and wealth reads shrill.
- rubyfan 7y agoYou’re taking it out of context. I highly doubt Penn would say it as you’re taking it. In the context he’s talking about weight related health.
- kmonad 7y agoI actually provided the context. It's just a silly thing to say, what ever the context.
- pchristensen 7y agoOverall, it's great to be born in and live in a rich country. But as someone with 100lbs to lose, I would absolutely be much better off if inexpensive sugary food was more difficult to find.
- Bakary 7y agoIt's not just being in a first world country but the specific country you are in. I used to wonder why Americans had such an obesity problem but after visiting various states it became clear that culture and the environment around you makes all the difference.
