In the US (and many other places actually):

- 70% obesite/overweight rate

- 20% of kids are obese before hitting 18

- The 2 leading causes of deaths are lifestyle related, with diet being a big part of both

Every single study and scientist you will find will tell you our diet is dog shit, they'll tell you we eat too much sugar, too many carbs, too much salt, too much processed food

People discussing if artificial sweeteners are better or worse than sugar are like drug addicts discussing if heroin is less worse than fentanyl

Just cut that shit out of your life, there are no drawbacks and an infinite amount of benefits. They're not necessary, they're not needed, you're just addicted to them. We see the results, we have the stats, the science tells us why, we know. I don't get how anyone can argue the opposite, we eat shit, the vast majority of things sold in supermarket is shit, most people eat shit and they visibly suffer from it

People eat sugar around the globe though it’s not just an American thing.
