But
I get what she’s saying, that it is exceptionally more effortful and more expensive here to do some very.. normal things
Eat whole foods, get good proteins not destroyed with hormones and antibiotics. To have time to cook, and exercise, you are probably already in the 1%
Walking? Forget about it, most places (you WILL get run over)
I’m also uncomfortable with the ‘Americans are so X’ discourse about their bodies, because most people who say that don’t see the infrastructure, or how this is something that’s being done *to* them.
The language of shame and personal responsibility is not useful here. Or anywhere

@skinnylatte Yes, health is not built into our infrastructure in the US.

@skinnylatte totally agree. I tell people here all the time how it was just easier to eat healthy when I lived in Japan because that’s the way it was setup.
The US just doesn’t seem to be “designed” to support truly eating healthy and staying healthy in other areas, like mental health, family health, etc.
It’s like one of those diagrams where you have many choices but can only pick two.
