"skinnier" countries have way different lifestyles, less driving, more walking, less fast food culture, etc. They don't need to be educated on weight loss because they naturally are not prone to it due to these socioeconomic conditions.
- alabastervlog 1y agoYes! One thing that would be pretty likely to work is radically changing our city layouts, patterns of settlement, methods of commute, density of living, food quality, food prices & price structuring, worker protection & time-off laws, and a bunch of other stuff. In the meantime (so... indefinitely, because moving the needle on one of those things would be the work of a lifetime) we now have drugs that can do it.
