Fad Diets: America's Fascination with Shortcuts

from The DORK Side

What’s up, fatties? Yeah, I said it. Don’t @ me—just look in the mirror and ask yourself: ‘How many times have I lost weight only to find it again like a bad penny?’ HOW MANY TIMES, YO-YO MA?! We are a nation of professional dieters, spending billions to shrink-wrap our guts while somehow becoming the planet’s plus-size champions. The government may be finally fixing the racket, having added RFK Jr.’s as  Health Czar. I’ve learned that my government has been trying to kill me.Before RFK Jr, Michelle Obama took a more heavy-handed approach where pretty much 80% of the country was fat based on the new BMI. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
