Only 8% of adults in the US have optimal metabolism. That means 92% have some degree of insulin resistance. Only ONE of the symptoms of insulin resistant is visible obesity. There are even more thin unhealthy people out there right now! (TOFI thin on outside fat on inside)
The problem is much worse then this article states
To be healthy is a luxury. To have enough time off work to exercise and cook a well balanced healthy meal is a luxury.
I’m in the keto / carnivore camp, and happily cooking that food doesn’t take a tremendous amount of time or expense.
On minimum wage right? Otherwise it’s still a privilege.
Food deserts are a thing for millions of Americans. Another issue is that some folks don’t even have a proper kitchen (just a microwave and sink).
Something, something, semi-glutides?
Not with current weight loss drugs they won’t.
A bet against crippling global famine? Weve got some optimists over here.
