I visit family in other states and I get comments like “I can’t believe you are so thin.” For context I am a healthy weight and I eat what I consider a reasonable diet. I sit and smile while I watch them drink soda and eat pure sugar and salt. I don’t care about your life choices but don’t act surprised by someone that’s a normal weight.

    I think of the meme of first world problems as unimportant. Obesity is straight up killing people though, so I don’t know if it really fits. Especially because it’s so strongly inversely correlated with wealth. It’s literally a problem associated with living in the first world and being poor.
