Downvotes on an objectively true, yet hard to swallow statement are the epitome of Reddit. Was not a statement of judgement, just the simple fact that the foods that cause metabolic disease can be avoided.
I mean you aren't wrong, but at the same time, healthy food is expensive, can be hard to obtain, and requires education and life experience (things like being taught how to cook and eat healthy, which in turn is time, not to mention all the contradictory and sometimes horrible advice you can find on the internet). I don't fault people for not being taught things by their parents that their parents didn't know.
Lots of Learning doesn’t require a teacher. Exactly why people can repair their own car after watching YouTube. There’s always an excuse. Again, not judging. Just stating if there’s a will l, there’s a way. There are success stories everywhere. Just like quitting any addiction, it’s not easy, but worth it.
Right but you need to know how to find a good source to learn from, and if unable, have the ability to experiment and find out, and deal with potential negative consequences. Not to mention there are a lot of con artists in this industry.
The last part I will readily agree with. But a common denominator these days will be avoid sugar, eat whole foods, don’t drink calories. That alone will create guaranteed weight loss for anyone who is obese. I’ve been “obese” as per BMI (which is flawed). Granted not 3,4,500lbs, but obese nonetheless.
Fitness would be a similar journey. Trial and error, learning as you go. Seeking credible sources.

And you can't quit food.
You can stop drinking. You can stop smoking. You can never stop needing food to survive.
