According to some sources, at least 1 in 8 of the world population is classified as ‘obese’. Since nobody in any government seems to have thought up a working solution, what do you believe can be done to solve the epidemic?

People don't realize* that processed food is engineered to make you eat more of it. You'll also feel like shit for at least 3 days if you start eating fresh foods and you will crave the junk (cuz it's made to be that way), but it's worth it. The price is about the same to eat if you make it from scratch, but it's so much easier than you think. Your body will thank you. Also, if you're craving something sweet, drink water.

Examples:

Soup

  • boil a bunch of veggies and you get veggie stock.
  • Boil the bones of your rotisserie chicken and you get chicken stock.
  • Microwave a potato and put it in a pan with your sauteed veggies, then add milk. You now have cream of type soups

Grill

  • veggies
  • meat
  • seafood

Baking

These are just few.

    lol. I meant his wife’s vegan detox diet at the end (the one above’s obviously not vegan, it just reminded me of the concept) obviously I didn’t mean the main diet of that film…

    In any case, I much preferred Tom Naughton’s Fat Head

    “Honey, I have chest pains! Quick! Get a tripod!!!” XD

    Oh sorry, lol, I didn't understand what you were saying. You can have junk in moderation, but processed food companies make it really hard on everyone to do anything in moderation.

    Have you seen Fat Head by Tom Naughton? If you liked the Spurlock one, watch that one (it’s kind of a refute with comedy)

    No, we've been looking for new things to watch. I'll look for it. We just got done with Widow's Bay. Boy does that deserve the hype.

    his wife’s vegan detox diet

    detox diets are bullshit. Just stop eating crap. Spurlock's wife stopped being vegan and the cult almost crucified her.

    And he died of cancer. They say it didn’t have anything to do with the diet, but it could have

    He had testicular cancer, but he was also a huge alcoholic. He didn't die of cancer but his publicist would only admit to "cancer related complications".

    Interesting. I’ve never heard what kind of cancer he had, can you provide me a link that says it was testicular?
