      "Food should be whole, natural, and mostly meat" That's literally a design framework. How do you change the food system so that this is the most easily accessible choice, and disincentivize consumption of other foods?

      The first step is to realize there is a problem. The second step is to recognize what the problem is. With a simple yes or no ~ would you agree that obesity is caused by consumption of processed junk foods consisting of combinations of sugar, salt and fat?

      Trying to pose a complex question as a yes/no is disingenuous. Some people are obese without eating "processed junk foods" and some people are normal weights despite eating only these foods

      Those you mention are not the norm but the outliers. Some people are TOFI (thin outside fat inside). But moving goal posts is disingenuous. So yes, you can answer the above question yes or no. This way the goal posts are known and progress can be made.

      Nonsense. There's a complex association there that's impossible to unpick so neatly. As phrased, the question makes absolutely no sense

      You seem to be saying the mass consumption of processed junk foods has no bearing whatsoever on the global obesity pandemic.

      That it's not as simple as defining a single causal factor (i.e. processed foods). No single factor easily explains the obesity issue, and thus no single factor can be addressed to solve it

      Actually, processed foods is the largest single causal factor, by far, in the global obesity pandemic. The failure to recognize this is the largest contributing sub factor. The World needs to end its denial. Only then can a cure begin.

      Right, so you agree that there are many causal factors. Thus, oversimplification by talking about a single point is useless, because the system is far too complex for absurd yes/no Glad we agree

          You’re in denial that processed foods are the overwhelming causal factor of the global obesity pandemic. Even if there are many lesser factors. Any way, name a few of the others. Just for fun.
