Morphine Prince 109,655 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 "The best solution is to change the way people eat, the way they live, the lifestyle, and diet," Mackey says. "There's no reason why people shouldn't be healthy and have a longer health span. A bunch of drugs is not going to solve the problem." Americans are not taking as good care of their own bodies as they ought to be, Mackey says: "71% of Americans are overweight and 42.5% are obese. Clearly, we're making bad choices in the way we eat," he says. "It's not a sustainable path. And so, I'm calling it out." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatican 4,046 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 What an utter tool. This is how a ton of right-wingers and non-critical thinking capitalist bootlickers think. No critical analysis whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leblanc 2,494 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 He is right tbh. I wish people realised that very few people in power care about public health. Lobbying culture has meant profits come before anything else and we're the ones who pay the price. The world right now is designed to make you make unhealthy choices and we should be fighting against that. I'm low-key surprised to be hearing it from a CEO though Coven Season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphine Prince 109,655 Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 What I find funny is Whole Foods is expensive AF so his company is proof poor people don’t have access to the healthiest options and poverty is basically a death sentence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people in the country cannot afford to eat healthy, and a huge part of the country cannot afford to eat at all hence the foodlines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proof: Food deserts, trash food being cheaper, intentional ad targeting towards poor people and minorities by unhealthy food corporations Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
