This is unbelievably untrue statement

Well yeah, because you made up your mind and not listening to anything capable of changing it.

You would be surprised, but human biology is slightly more complicated than a furnace that you throw coal into.

Those people weren’t the ones painting paintings and writing stories

It is once again, incredibly simplistic view of a very complicated issue, so simplistic it stops being accurate.

It’s an overly simplistic view of the very complex set of issues. Even if we isolate the weight, which we shouldn’t do, even if we assume we should all strive to be of some set weight, which we shouldn’t do even harder, there is no one definitive factor that contributes to that. Reducting it all to “just eat better bro” is, in a lot of cases, akin to saying to a person with depression “just stop being sad”.
There is no “weight gene”, but it doesn’t mean there is no underlying physical issues that a person can’t overcome with just a sheer force of will.
And that’s not even going into the poverty cycle issue, which means that for some people better dietary choices simply unavailable.
Notice, I don’t know the percentage of people with it, but neither do you. But the problem is, weather a person can do something about their weight or not, putting all the, pardon the pun, weight of their bodyshape on them is almost never helpful, and almost always harmful.

I’m consistently 20-30 kilo above what was considered ideal weight for my height. It took 10 different visits to 10 different doctors to find my life-altering disease that was caused by basically a slow acting infection. 9 of them attributed my very real and severe symptoms to “well, what do you want from me, you’re a fatty fat fat and until you fix this you will be bad and miserable and actually deserve it, and did I mentioned you’re fat?”. All of them were as smug as you are right now, all of them presumably thought that they’re helping.
Now that that shit is fixed, I’m still the same weight, but weirdly enough, no symptoms and I am feeling good. Almost like my body type has nothing to do with anything.
And that’s what the meme is referring to.

You can’t really know it. I suspect it’s a combination of the two. If you drive everywhere and sit around the rest of the time, you can’t be healthy no matter your diet.

You sound distressed, you should lose some weight.

Yes. If you have time, energy, equipment, space, skill, and desire to cook. Working people this days rarely have it all

Jerky is always a food of convenience. It’s a food that is always on the shelf, you eat it if you’re dead. If I had time, energy, equipment, space, and desire to cook, I would be cooking a meal.

They now have Biltong version, and that one is actually good. The regular is indeed garbage, meat candy, both not good as a jerky and as a candy.

Glad you didn’t miss the best course there is

Nah, the idiots learned nothing. They will vote in line until they die

Thanks, fixed

That’s just shitty people. Find people who you vibe with, and then interact with them.

But also, the evidence that that guy mostly used in his books is “That’s what I reckon this week”, not something scientific.

No, I’m trying to set some expectations. The right thing to do is to probably lawyer up and try to go after the company. But it almost certainly wouldn’t do anything, and it will be long, expensive, and ultimately pointless endeavor, best case scenario the company that hates you now will be forced to employ you.

I saw it in Rome last time I was there, before covid
