This. A fast food addict is a future ozempic patient.
And, once they lose the weight, fast food will be there to welcome them back into the fold because the fundamental issues that causes people to become overweight in the first place aren’t dealt with by shots.
Epigenetics does play a role in a way medications are starting to be able to address (basically there’s extra little hormones and stuff your DNA makes when recent generations have been stressed, so if the great depression hit your great grandma particularly hard your genes might still think you need to hang onto some extra fluff just in case). But yeah a lot of it is social stuff that just isn’t going anywhere like McDonald’s being the only place you can get calories at after job #1 and still be on time for job #2.
The crazy thing is is that epigenetics plays such a massive role that even a single generation of intentional change can produce astronomical differences, like when you see a third-generation Mexican immigrant who is like six foot five, and they go and hug their four foot four grandmother.
That early childhood supply of abundant calories in an active environment with low stressors can make such a huge difference on how your kids end up looking and how their entire lives play out, and those changes will likely propagate down through the generations.
Why stop eating hamburgers when you can just take a pill and keep eating?
Yeah that’s not how that drug works. It makes you eat less mostly. Which means you buy less tacos and hamburgers.
It’s ok the profit margins on those things are triple what they used to be. McDs is gonna be just fine.
The rest of us that want regular healthy food are fucked though.
Doesn’t it cause weight loss by killing your appetite?
Huh. TIL. They could have just taken Adderall this whole time. I used to lose so much weight every school year because it absolutely demolished my appetite. Apparently that’s what Adderall was initially created to do. And boy, that’s one of the things it did.
It really is the hunger games.
Fast food just shrinks portions and jacks up prices in response.
Yeah, initially they appear to be enemies but are actually working together. Fast food keeping you fat so you keep buying ozembic.
so funny that the rich are shooting up starve juice during a regime imposed famine
maybe they think we won’t devour them if they’re built like daffy duck
so is gamera the food truck guy?
The duality of the US: Burger vs Jock, Milkshake vs Valley girl
Fast food doesn’t make you anymore fat than any other food. Calories in calories out.
It does, indirectly. They are typically more calorie-dense, especially high in carbs. So the same volume of food gives you more energy to store as fat.
So calories in… Calories out?
Calories in calories out is one of those things that’s technically true but useless. Fast food is designed to be morish and addictive and is very calorie dense as others have said. So technically 3000 calories is 3000 calories no matter where it comes from but if you’re actually interested in your health and losing weight the specific food you eat is going to make a huge difference to your ability to actually succeed long term.
But yeah, calories in calories out. That doesn’t mean all food is the same.
Exactly. 3k calories of broccoli (8.8kg) is much harder to eat than 3k calories of sugar (0.78kg).
The broccoli is an excellent source of fiber. Fiber fills you up. Fiber is how you are supposed to know you are full.
The fiber is washed out of all the processed food. It doesn’t fill you up properly. So you eat more.
Its all chemicals, man. They are feeding us shit that’s designed to make us eat more.
So, eat that broccoli. And some beans. You won’t want the burger if you’ve had a healthy meal.
It makes you more inclined to eat more calories than you need.
Calories in calories out, except, fast food has minimal micronutrients therefore the body craves micronutrients and asks for more food.
You eat more fast food and the body is satisfied because it’s been fed. But then it digests the food and goes “damn, I need more micronutrients, more food please!” so then you eat more. The body is satisfied because it’s been fed. But then it digests the food and goes “damn, I need more micronutrients, more food please!” so then you eat more. The body is satisfied because it’s been fed. But then it digests the food and goes “damn, I need more micronutrients, more food please!” so then you eat more. The body is satisfied because it’s been fed. But then it digests the food and goes “damn, I need more micronutrients, more food please!” so then you eat more.
Suddenly you’ve put a lot of calories in and now you’re unhealthy because you’re deficient in a bunch of things and have eaten far more salt, sugar, and fat than you should. Now you’re fat and getting healthy is even more difficult. So you eat some fast food to feel better about yourself…
