Maybe it’s naïve. But it’s getting harder and harder to ignore, and worse and worse.

As we export our food to more and more places, it starts to happen to them.

I hear about people who take trips to Europe. They eat a ton, feel better, and lose weight.

They get back home, start eating food here (even healthy food) and feel worse again. Gain it back despite eating less.

We’ve tried ignoring it. We’ve tried blaming genetics, character, fat in foods, sugar, and willpower. But none of those have explained/fixed it. Because I don’t think that’s the problem.

I want the evidence to keep piling up. I don’t want anyone to suffer unnecessarily, but I don’t want a new excuse to stop progress again.

It doesn’t have to be either/or. But if we give up the chance for the debate because a new miracle drug “solved“ it nothing will change.
