Reading this thread from Japan is fun.
Every week we have a show called ありえへん世界
https://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/ariehen/ and they often play clips of "My 600 lb. life" on it.
The reactions of the Japanese "panelists" is shock, disbelief, and horror.
Fat people exist here, but far, far less. No one truly huge by American standards though, not even Sumo.
I find obesity repulsive, but it's my
personal preference. Obese people are killing themselves, and I do get ticked off that by "normalizing" obesity because they are harming the health of others just as if they encouraged smoking - or like a bunch of gym rats saying 1g of test isn't harmful. But ultimately it's on them.
I feel much of what we see today is due to a lax education system that doesn't emphasise critical thinking enough.
Certain people have worked to demonize education in order to consolidate control and power and it has wreaked havoc as the effects have rippled downstream. Ironically, many of those hurt most are those advocating such views.
If there is a risk to American society today it isn't fat people and girls with blue hair, it's the fact that
China is crushing the numbers in advanced education.
