> The corporations are fueling this fire

I really don't think that's true. If anything corporations heavily push thin, fit bodies most places you look.



I meant corporations like McDonalds, Costco, CocaCola, etc... pretty much any kind of addictive/sugary/fatty food manufacturer or supplier... they make mega bucks and it's in their best interest to have a nation of obese individuals.


Costco is a weird choice. They're just a bulk grocery store


Is it, though?

Have you ever compared the clientele who shop at Costco and your local health food store for example?

Pretty much all of the food that they sell (aside from the fresh produce and flash frozen fruit/veggies) is woefully unhealthy... addictive... and in quantities that only an early 20th century Catholic family should be buying.

A pack of 16 croissants, anyone? How about 32 mini croissants filled with chocolate and sugar? Fresh baked!

Even the "healthy" (looking) "food" they make in their Deli is horrible for you. Everything comes out of a bag and it's all just a repackaging operation, basically.

Humans are like Goldfish. Give them more food and a bigger tank and watch them grow, baby!
