Unsustainable as in "humanity will be wiped out ? Clearly no
Unsustainable as in people are shadows of what they could be, people die way earlier than they should, &c ? Definitely
Outliers excluded, the difference between an active/fit 60 years old and someone who's been fat their whole life at the same age is night and day. One has years/decades of healthy life to go, the other has one foot in the grave
If it was an experiment on animals we would have pulled the plug 30 years ago
- rcme 4y agoI agree that if you measure outcomes by life expectancy or activity level, being obese is objectively bad. But we give people agency to make their own decisions, and obesity is a choice. It's both a personal choice, i.e. people choose their lifestyle and diet, and a societal choice, i.e. society chooses not to discourage unhealthy eating habits. Plenty of choices lead to objectively worse outcomes, but that doesn't mean those choices are unsustainable. It just means they're less than ideal.
