You're right of course, at least these days. Didn't used to be a problem! This is why I am not opposed to weight loss drugs or weight loss surgery, even though I would never partake of them myself. As an individual I have agency, have been able to eat a healthy-ish diet and do some exercise, but for the population as a whole the forces of our current society and culture are very strong, pushing people to eat all manor of high-calorie processed foods and spend most of their day gazing at phones. As long as that condition exists, some sort of artificial remedy to our artificial problem is welcome.

Obviously it would also be good to address the root of the problem: our society and culture that leads us to these habits. Just a simple fact that the immediate pleasure from eating delicious high-calorie food while doomscolling on your phone is tangible, while the long-term ill effects on our bodies and sanity are not.
