You start getting healthier and losing weight just by eating real food instead of American poison, living in NZ or any other country that cares for its citizens will do that for you
You think America doesn’t have any fruits and vegetables? And NZ doesn’t have any unhealthy food? Lol
There have been account after account of people leaving the States for one reason or another (Military relocation, job placement, etc), monitor their diet and actually find that while they are technically eating more, they are losing weight.
America’s got problems.
Bullshit. The laws of thermodynamics will not be denied.
Now, if you told me the American food industry was just lying about calorie content in the first place…
The ease of access and availability of unprocessed foods, or food products without high amounts of corn syrup, sugars and other additives, is much higher in most of the world outside of the US. I can never stay in the US for more than a couple of weeks without gaining weight. Then again, it doesn’t help that US food is fantastically tasty, either ♥️
Fruits and vegetables sprayed and watered with preservatives and pesticides at every step of its cycle that end up in our bodies without much long term study before approving it.
NZ has McDonald’s and other similar trash but like most nations other than the us some restrictions and requirements are in-place and enforced to prevent corporations poisoning us for slightly improved profits
It’s Lemmy. We’ve got to have at least one “America Bad” comment per thread, no matter how irrelevant.
Gotta be Ozempic.
Too many famous people who’ve been overweight for decades suddenly losing weight in the last couple of years.
Nothing wrong with it though, hopefully it will start helping regular people lose weight as well.
He lives in NZ and therefore isn’t eating American poison that is sold as food
Or he was eating to compensate his frustration to promote software for Windows and since they made Proton, he is happy again.
I 'm with you, truely.
But what you’re describing is just how science works in a world where we’re trying to make discoveries quickly due to our lifespans only being around 75 years compared to the billions or millions or thousands of years for everything else existing.
As long as we continue making discoveries along the way, this is progress. It sucks that we keep getting things partially wrong sometimes, like with asbestos, but we’ll eventually get it right as long as we keep following the process.
The examples given are not problems with science and time-scales. They are examples of the corrupting influence of money. Companies push their product as being fantastic, and deliberately cripple any science that would challenge their profits. Cigarettes are probably the most famous example of this.
They’ll never make it to Phase 3 trials

Just Gabe working on a god tier game.
The faster they make new gaming peripherals, the faster a new Half-Life comes out.
Nah Gabe working on a god tier game. He just want to be able to say the same thing we all do… “you mean, you have to use your hands?”
Where we’re going, we don’t need peripherals.
