Hopefully itβll help with the obesity epidemic.
I bet it will make it worst: the cheapest foods are the worst in terms of calories density.
They will get fat but malnourished.
Yes, that's what we are already seeing. People always laugh about USA, but regarding overweight and Diabetes Type 2 we are on a fast track to get even with them. And when politicians want to intervene the sugar lobby fights back really hard. (Here in Germany they came with the argument that a ban on advertising for Sweets would interfere with the freedom of speech π€¦ββοΈ)
How will eating 3 junky meals be better than eating 2 of them?
Seems there's a lot of latent anxiety about fat-shaming in this thread. Being fat is unhealthy, end of story.
It's not nearly as bad as in the US but unfortunately people are getting fatter here too. What we don't have is peoole so fat they can barely walk. But 15kg too much on a 60 year old person? Way too common.
What we also don't have is cities so car-centric that you can't walk at all because of lack of side-walks in residential areas.
