It’s not fat people hate to acknowledge that eating less is how you lose weight.

Your take or stance about capitalism and addiction is true also, but yeah addicts are addicts if it’s heroin or food or sex or alcohol.

Some addictions / pleasures aren’t super unhealthy and some are.

Either way, the trick to it is to eat less. Same as the “trick” to getting off opiates is to stop using them.

Do you also tell smokers that smoking causes cancer? Like yeah no shit buddy.

If they pretend it doesn’t, yeah.

Yeah all that's right but you're overlooking the fact that "just stop" almost never works. People can know this, rationally. But they still fall into addiction. It takes a more complicated approach than "just stop" most of the time.
