We aren't really the most obese European country, we just say that to take the piss out of you stupid fucking yanks

I know you're shitposting but yeah actually the world wars, especially the mobilization for world war 2, caused a bigass shift in diets for most of the western world due to shortages and rationing. Canned food, which had already grown even more popular due to its low price during the depression, was spread more, which is why you have all those 50's casserole recipes that call for a can of soup dumped over something in a dish. Fast food's increase and reputation for being huge started around the late 80's early 90's when I think Taco Bell's marketing division realized that 80% of sales came from 20% of the fat fucks, and to appeal to them directly with larger portions and better "deals" (ie cheap bulk).
WW2 and the resulting rationing is also why you get all that weird ass british food like toast sandwiches.

Even before that, when paper companies lobbied against hemp manufacturing and cultivation.

Automation, consumerism, gmo/fertilisers, longer lasting foods/preservatives, cheaper food and products (tinned foods), mass production, convenience (grocery stores rather than local shops and drive thrus/fast foods), addictives/more chems to make it taste better and unhealthier, machines like the fridge and microwave and mixers and such.

capitalism forcing workers who don't work like slaves 10 hours a day and work from home for 4 more to be passed over for promotions or even fired made cheap, quick foods that are often bad for you the only things that fit the schedule

Hmm, tinned food was one of those cheaper and longer lasting alternative compared to normal food, also the tinned foods were usually already cooked and needed a good reheating.
Not gonna say eating only tinned foods make people fat but i wouldn't consider tinned food to be that healthy either, most likely full of salt/fat/carbs. Worst ones are probably spam and similar sorts of their kind.

America was always capitalist, but not always fat.

I'm not taking chances on this one.
Being a caretaker of such a fat person should be a criminal offence. Obviously that guy can't get 12k+ calories daily on his own.
Cameron Watson
old guy here, back when I was a teen the 32 oz big gulp came out and it was practically scandalous. Who would drink that much ? Of course people loved it. Now you can get 64 oz cups Some places even sell the 128oz jug that you can refill. Serving sizes have gotten bigger.
Also there wasn't HFCS in everything, just sugar. It was practically another scandal when Coca-cola switched from Sugar to HFCS to save a few pennies a gallon. No one really preferred the taste, but economics won out.

Around the time the gold standard was repealed.
The government knows if shit gets bad enough, the American people would rise up and overthrow them. So the government made it their number one priority to make sure the people had limitless access to cheap food. Because there has never been a political revolution on a full stomach.

Nigger please, you faggots are fat as shit. Hope you fucking die anyway.

You're wrong, a recipe for toast sandwich is known from 1861

After WWII. Military-industrial conplex turned into food-industrial complex. All the bomb factories -->fertilizer factories. All the chemical weapons--> pesticide/herbicide factories. Throw in subsidies for large monocrops and you have a system to destroy traditional small diversified farms that rely on the sun's energy and human labor for large industrial farms with machines that produce mountains of corn, wheat, and soy from petroleum energy. These crops go into the vast stores of highly processed food that is giving everyone chronic illness (bad food + lack of farm exercise + no sunshine from ur inside desk job). The rest is fed to animals in feed lots. Wa la

Recovering obeast here, seeing shit like OP's pic I wonder how the fuck a guy can let it get so bad. I ate whatever I wanted whenever I wanted until I was 30 and still only made it to 300 pounds.
How can a guy maintain a body that big? I ate so fucking much before I decided to lose weight, I'd stop at gas stations for snacks several times a day plus ate like entire pizzas for a meal
Jeremiah Hall
>We're not fat we're just pretending to be retarded
This was probably much smarter in your head I assume.
Cameron Ramirez
Bad is relative to the life you lead. If you look at what farm families ate in the Midwest or South at the start of the 20th Century you'd find people regularly consumed 3000-4000 calories a day. But a 12 hour day of farm work would burn that off. One cause of obesity in America is that fewer and fewer Americans did physically demanding work, but they kept eating as if they did. I piece of pie with breakfast and lunch is just a drop in the bucket if you labor all day, but it's a quick way to obesity if you don't.
Then there was the Depression and WWII. Food was rationed and some people starved to death. This coincided with the rise of industrialized food production as well as the discovery of and the ability to synthesize vitamins. By the time the war was over poor quality industrially produced food was cheap, and it could be enriched to make up for its lack of nutrition. Sugary cereals could be marketed as healthy for your kids because they contained X number of essential vitamins and minerals. Squishy white bread could be a staple. War rations like canned pasta could be sold as economical ways to feed a family using the emerging advertising industry and the television. Convenient and modern were the buzzwords used to sell all kinds of garbage tier foods to those just happy to have enough to eat. And of course parents who had experienced food insecurity made children "clean their plates". And over the rest of the century food continued to stay cheap, convenient and crappy. Then they figured how to make cheap sugar out of corn and suddenly sugar was in everything.
So you basically had a nation that had traditionally eaten like laborers moving to office jobs at the same moment lazy, bad meal choices became cheap and widely available.

Have you ever wondered how these super-obese people can be bed-ridden, unemployed and yet have enough food to feed a family of 12 or more? It's because "the system' decided it was cruel to only give them enough foodstamps for a normal size person, so they give them the equivalent food supply that would normally feed several, and I mean several people a day. And they keep increasing the allotted food supply and that's why these people keep getting fatter and fatter. 600 lbs, 700 lbs, 800 lbs, etc.

It’s actually his girlfriend and daughter who took care of him when he was still fat. His daughter dropped out of fucking school just to take care of him. Fatties should be used as live fuel. Imagine all that energy you could get out of them

the real question is how do they afford to eat that much? even if its cheap shit it still adds up
Eli Phillips
When women entered the workforce. No more time to shop and cook daily so it was tv dinners, high calorie, high sugar content frozen shit. Then fast food came along for a double dose. I still remember when most women were at home, it was all about preparing dinner, sometimes most of the day. Around the late 70's things really started to shift. Even then into the 80's going out was a novelty. When I was a kid we went out maybe two or three times per year. By the time highschool came along it was way more common.

There were issues due to the processing, habits and proliferation of fast food and such during the 50s, but it all spiraled during the 1980s when the NeoLibs killed food regulations.
