The solution involved exercise and diet, surprise surprise. It's not magic or some law of nature that people will only get more fat and unhealthy.
If we think that way, then it will surely happen though.
Yes, if we remove all of the modern, processed, high calorie, energy dense, sugar heavy foods out of a place we can improve the obesity rate.
I hope you understand why individuals are going to take things into their own hands vs. waiting for massive societal change. I thought you were referring to whole cultures or countries making significant change here, not small communities.
I'm someone who has spent many years of their life fit. I'm also someone who has spent many years of their life fat. I can tell you that when I was fit, I did not suffer from the sort of constant hunger I did before I was fat. It didn't take any sort of willpower or discipline on my part - I just wasn't hungry nearly as often, healthy food was satiating, and things were easy. Lifting weights multiple days a week took a bit of discipline, but it wasn't the reason I was eating healthy - I was doing that before I ever got particularly into exercise.
But I got busy with other aspects of my life and it became easier and easier to just grab some fast food, or order uber eats during the pandemic. But this was just laziness - I didn't have constant hunger or cravings. But before I knew it, I had gained significant weight, and then I did have constant hunger and cravings, and it became a tremendously difficult task for me. Losing weight by sticking to healthy food in healthy quantities required significant willpower, and shoving that hunger down had impact on my mood, ability to concentrate, etc. I struggled to make it past 6 months before some other event in my life would require me put my focus towards it, and I wouldn't have the capacity to deal with both things, so I'd go back to eating poorly.
Tirzepatide puts my relationship with food and hunger back to where it was before I had gotten fat in the first place.
And if enough people do it, we have a healthy culture again.
There's countless comments in here from many people explaining why this is the case. If you don't get it by now, I doubt you ever will.
