What are some "no brainer" inventions or features that just haven't made it to the consumer yet?

Yeah, companies starting an obesity epidemic by pumping us full of government subsidized corn syrup, only to solve that by getting us reliant on an exorbitantly expensive drug that you have to inject every day. How I love capitalism.

God fucking forbid we take any self responsibility.

I eat pretty much zero processed food and it's incredibly easy and inexpensive.

I'm fat because I eat and snack too much and it's 100% my fault.

I eat too much junk, too, but I am in pretty good shape.

I also know quite a few people who just don't have the urge to eat a lot. They tend to eat small amounts, don't finish their meals, sometimes forget to eat a meal when they're busy. It is completely not relatable for someone like me.

Between the fact that people can eat a lot without getting fat, and that people don't all have the same baseline urge to eat, I'd recommend you go a bit easier on yourself.

There are medical issues that cause weight gain fyi. Not everyone that is overweight can control it.

That's fine, I completely agree. That has nothing to do with bullshit corps forced shitty food down my throat I was responding to.

Saying that out loud nowadays makes you a public enemy in quite a few circles, sadly enough.

pumping us full of government subsidized corn syrup [...] I love capitalism.

You realize that subsidies break market incentives, right? That's more like a planned economy, not capitalism.
