It’s very difficult to stay healthy if you’re forced to work most of the day and can only afford cheap, extremely unhealthy food. I don’t think natural selection is a good thing for humanity at this point, since our intelligence is by far our most important feature (Einstein wasn’t exactly buff)
Sure; I’m not saying that we shouldn’t try to stay healthy, only that we probably shouldn’t harshly judge someone just for having an unhealthy diet or lacking motivation to exercise consistently, particularly in a capitalist society
As long as one considers why they have these eating habits in the first place. I certainly think it should be discouraged and people should be educated, but most extremely obese people likely have some severe mental illness and they deserve treatment.
I think we might be talking about different kinds of people. I don’t have much sympathy for the people who knowingly buy food like the extreme greasy burgers you mentioned, but I do sympathize with mildly obese people who frequently eat cheap, unhealthy food if they can’t easily afford anything else, and I certainly sympathize with people who don’t have the time or motivation to exercise consistently.
