You could also have it be “I won the genetic lottery!” - there are lots skinny people who eat some garbage food and look great. Hell, my grandfather ate super rich food, drank like a fish and smoked and didn’t have any weight issues until he was in his seventies. And at that point he was all IDGAF.
Converse is of course true. Some people are living in perpetual severe caloric deficits and the scale won’t budge - see Oprah Winfrey. She’s rich as fuck and has a long history of struggling with weight.

That's more than fair, and true.

There's no doubt that humans vary metabolically with regards to how easy it is to lose or gain weight and I can't begin to make sense of it.
I definitely won the genetic lottery here, except for my pencil arms that you've made fun of to my face!
If I cut out beer for month during ski season (burns lots of calories) I could drop 5 or 10 lbs like that.
That said, it's still my understanding is that if you're in severe caloric deficit (say 1000 cal per day) over an extended period eventually pounds will come off. It's just that such an experience is miserable. Who wants to feel like they are starving to death in a gulag in Siberia every day?

if we’re bashing abusing drugs, I’m out of here.

I apologize for arm shaming you, @YellowSnow. 🙂
I don’t know enough about human physiology, but I think I read somewhere that if you were athletic/fit in your youth it helps a lot if you later on want to get back into shape.

.This was my experience for 4 months out of last year. Culminating with a 10-day hospital stay which, incidentally, began one year ago this week.
A G-tube was installed through the top of my belly directly into my stomach to provide nourishment (sugar water). That first, then 6 months of chemo saved my life.
For the preceding 4 months, I figure I was getting on average 700 calories per day. It was difficult to get much more than liquid through my esophagus.
I lost 50 lbs. 25% of my body mass. I was starving to death.
After about a month and a half you begin to not miss food. You lose the hunger pains. In a fucked up way it became a non-issue. Inconsequential.
The whole experience is fucked up psychologically. A topic for another day.
Today I’m without the feeding tube. An endoscopy in September showed zero blockage in the esophagus. I can swallow normally again. I’m hyper-aware of every swallow still.

The use of psychedelics for mental health, and the use of TRT for physiological health will be allowable discussion topics.
The acquisition thereto, will not.

To the point of different health outcomes vis-a-vis socioeconomic back drop, I wonder how @BearsWiin accounts for the real soccer mom’s of Marin County enjoying the only declining rate of autism in the country.
RFK wants to know.
The part the media intentionally ignores is that he is actually agnostic on which variable(s) may come to fore. His only concern is to know which ones to do something about.

.
I don’t know the specifics to the riddle, but what Throbber is saying about Big Tobacco buying into Big Food is true. A natural fit in many ways coming from Big Agra.
You are not wrong about the biggest names currently in Big Food. My only suggestion is to make sure you aren’t being hood-winked by nomenclature.When Chase Bank purchased JP Morgan, the new name was JP Morgan Chase. From a business perspective, Big Tabacco had multiple reasons to abscond any and all brand identities and/or relationships with the past.

Speaking of Marin County soccer mom's , what is your take on Wakefield's study re: the link being MMR vaccines and autism later being retracted and proven to be a scientific fraud? Did Bobby Jr ever apologize for that one?
