Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Spot on. My family is from a rural area in the US, and every one of them is overweight and suffering from a myriad of health-related problems from that. It's really not their fault, they're encouraged to eat and live incredibly unhealthy lifestyles (massive carnist consumption, forced to drive rather than walk to get anywhere), then sell them more symptoms-treatments at their doctor, rather than finding the root causes, and making sure they don't re-arise (what marxistst usually preface with reproduction)
Knee and joint replacements, heart disease, and diabetes are all affecting my immediate family.
Several massive industries are devoted to advertising and selling unhealthy products, then killing them, with no-one doing anything about it.
