Little women that had that back door blown out so heavy it sounds like air brakes on an 18 wheeler?

I think the greatest evidence is the American supermarkets. You've got Produce, some dairy, and meats. the other 70% of the store is processed foods. Even the bakery isle isn't fresh bread baked on site chemical free, it's shipped in by the truckload full of preservatives. In Asian food markets, or when you travel to other places that's not the case.
For example, my parents bought processed mashed potatoes in a box. That shit is gross, and they'd complain about real mashed potatoes being "lumpy". When I first moved out on my own I'd eat shit like Hamburger helper, hot pockets, Mac N' Fake Cheese, Ramen noodles (with no fresh ingredients added on top) etc. because it took slightly less effort to prepare. The notion of starting every meal with a knife, whole ingredients, and a chop board seemed foreign, ancient, and retarded.
It wasn't until I married my first wife from Japan that I realized just how backwards this shit was here. Till this day I still prefer fake peanut butter over real, and still prefer jellied cranberry sauce over the real shit but that's about it. My tastes have completely flipped other wise, and I could never go back. I really miss my Grandmother's trad American cooking/baking now. Also, one of the reasons I couldn't take American women seriously when I started dating after I got divorced. Foreign only unless it's just to smash. Very few places on this planet outside of the U.S. were robbed of these essential culinary skills. Americans women are clueless about preparing food for the most part.
Sometimes from the inside looking out as an American, it's hard to notice just how profound this discrepancy with Americans is. Like yea, you may notice obesity a little but you think it's due to food abundance or some shit. Not that I like women's potential being automatically wasted on homemaking alone, but ever since feminism took of mid/late 20th century, and made knowing how to cook/bake go out of style food took a dive and never recovered. Food prep is now done in factories, with chemicals, because that's what people here buy. Not just that, but our food prep is being done by people who give zero fucks about us, just waiting to clock out. Food should be prepared by yourself, or someone else who loves and respects you & your health, and occasionally a culinary artist you pay well, not some factory, or fast food assembly line workers.

Weird thing I've noticed lately. I used to think tattoos on women were kinda hot back in the day when they weren't so commonplace. Not so much any more. To me it obscures what I appreciate the most, like a painting on a great sculpture.
Don't get me wrong, it's still smashville, but these days I don't want to see shit, unless it's electrical tape.

Here's a good one. Iranian MMA fighter goes to Russia, gets offended by the ring girls attire and kicks her, knocked out 30 seconds after leaving the ring and almost lost his life.

The corporations trying to feed us harmful chemicals are the ones who write the regulations, and the lawmakers that should be doing something to stop it need to raise millions for the next campaign.
Meanwhile this is America:

Yep, like I said, profit is the only reason these businesses exist, so you could blame everything on that. To support that fact even further, the government allows the industries here to write the laws & regulations. The only obvious problem is that without profit there's almost no incentive to provide other people with food unless you're willing to use force and coerce people.
On the same token, the government ultimately has the power to send men with guns to make people do whatever they tell them to, or lock them in cages, seize businesses, property etc. So, likewise you could blame everything on the government for not doing so. That's why Europe and other places have better food, they don't allow shit chemical ingredients. Blaming government as the sole reason for the problem is still wrong in my humble opinion. We live in a mob rule system where we can vote for whatever we want here.
Blaming government in the context of comparing us to Europe would be even more correct IMO compared to blaming profit because obviously profit motives exist in Europe, Asia, Latin America, etc. Hate to beat a dead horse here but ultimately without profit nobody is going to build, and supply a McDonalds in the first place. So blaming this on either is foolish.
Ultimately, it depends on how much you're willing to ignore facts that don't fit your pre existing bias against either Government, or Capitalism, and over emphasize the facts that do support your perspective. Me personally, I eat healthy foods from whole ingredients. My own personal bias leads me to believe people are generally retarded when it comes to the topic of food in the U.S. especially and would literally eat shit sandwiches if they were marketed correctly.
I can explain socialism in practice with my own eyes in living in Germany for 7 years when the Iron Curtain was still in effect. People will ignore that and say well next time it will work out and it's laughable because it's failed every single time for obvious reasons. That said, you can tell people these foods aren't good for them over & over and guess what, they're not going to listen and continue to eat this garbage because they're fucking stupid, the even dumber ones will eat it and them blame everyone but themselves for their health issues. "Oh, the government didn't regulate this, oh. McDonalds just wants profit, etc." knowing full well the evidence was right there and they chose to ignore it to.

Without question, these companies add these chemicals because they're being directed to.
They're being directed to by their consumers, and the choices they make. If a consumer has to pay extra for fresh beef, a real bun, and chemical free sauce, instead of the bullshit deadly cocktail of chemicals they're being served up, 9 times out of 10 they're going over their own health. Other wise you'd see fast food places tanking, and going out of business. Given the freedom to make their own choices (capitalism) people are 100% going to make shit choices then complain about the consequences later because we're fucking stupid. Trying to blame Colonel Sanders for this shit isn't going to change that fact. Under capitalism, you give consumers exactly what they're willing to pay for, or you end up bankrupt. It's really that simple.
Imagine how much a real burger, like the entire thing that's made from whole ingredients would cost to prepare money/time wise. Then ask yourself who'd realistically pay for that? I do occasionally, but most people smart enough to care are posting up in the home made food flex thread for themselves. They're not dropping $25-$30 for a real hamburger on the regular, which is the going price for a real burger prepared fresh. Most people, especially in America are lazy as fuck, and want to pay less money for their food because they can't afford to eat the expensive burgers
We know exactly what's in those burgers, we know we're obese, but the fact is we're too retarded, and give zero fucks about the consequences until we're on our death beds getting fucking in the ass by the Hamburgler & Grimmace. There's no Mr. Peanut looking dude in a top hat and monocle giving the orders. It's us. We're fucking stupid, but at least we're free to make shit decisions and not being rationed an egg a day, and one small loaf of bread like in Cuba, or other places that don't have capitalism.

Kinda intimidated by the computer speakers on display here, got me feeling kinda Smol PP using the built in speakers.
Kinda shocked nobody has posted a shot of their phone while shitting skidmark drawers around ankles in the background yet.

Money well spent. This gives me DejaVu to 2010ish where I posted my cubicle setup from when I worked at Cornell and flexed heavyweight nerd credentials.
