Somebody said this to me the other day is that obesity is the new starvation. We used to die from

starvation from not enough food. Now we're dying from too much food. It's the number one killer.

You're like there is people are over consuming calories. We, because we work out, we do stuff,

we can go eat McDonald's when we, from time to time, because our body

explodes it. It's like burns it up. But these people who are just using it as a suppressant,

it's cheap, affordable death. Our whole society is, is completely overweight and just brought

down. They're dying from eating too much.
