how many people have to starve to death as a result of these doves trying print unlimited money and give it to people out of "compassion"?

  obesity rates are rising everywhere. a bigger problem is too much nutrition, not people going hungry

    You can be obese and malnourished. I would imagine most obese people aren't getting the correct nutrition, that is why they continue to eat after they have had enough calories. You shouldn't need to "control" yourself around food, your should just eat what you crave and stop when you are satisfied, but the increase of processed food and obesity rates show this is currently not the way it works anymore. The problem is not too much nutrition, but too much nutrient lacking food

I disagree with this. There are plenty of well nourished people who are obese. I eat very whole foods yet still find myself gaining weight if i don’t watch my caloric limit. As humans we’re basically beagals and would eat ourselves to death if we didn’t have the intellectual capacity and self awareness to stop.

        Many people DO eat themselves to death.
        • elhudy 5y ago
          Yeah, people do eat themselves to death eating whole foods as well as processed foods. Eating processed foods is clearly linked to higher rates of obesity, but my point is that many people still get fat eating whole foods unregulated until they are satiated.

    depends where. in afghanistan and parts of africa, the issue is still starving to death. and even changing food prices globally by a few percent leads to marginal deaths

  What makes you think it was out of "compassion"?
