A lot of it common knowledge/common sense, yet so hard to implement. Why?

  For years I've had nasal problems. Can't sleep -> no energy -> no appetite. I can manage but some people are just unlucky as well mate.

  It's so much easier to not do anything of these things. Unhealthy food is easy to find and often cheaper. It's easy to form bad habits as a child and continue them until adulthood. These are all excuses, but it's an easy trap to fall into. I grew up eating junk food and never exercising. I knew it wasn't good for me, but I honestly didn't know how to exercise and didn't have access to a gym. Making an effort to be healthier as an adult has been one of the best decisions of my life, but it's still so easy to fall back into bad habits.

  fatty foods/sugary foods are highly addicting (almost like drugs in my opinion) this is a "hot take" but selling a super extra large pepperoni pizza with extra everything and 50g of sugar per serving soda to go with it should almost be like, illegal the same way heroin/cocaine are (to protect ourselves, right?)

    Unfortunately “protecting ourselves” against these drugs has terrible second-order effects (see war on drugs). Perhaps we should let people buy drugs and bad food but add taxes to cover the collective damage done by them.

  Because we're still running on cave-man hardware that wants to store extra calories in case of famine, conserve energy in case of emergency, etc. We haven't adapted to the low-threat, abundant-calorie, instant-dopamine-button environment that we live in. It takes education and real discipline to do what is healthy instead of what our inner caveman tells us is good.
