I believe this line might be in reference to the former drag queen now known as King Tyra, who was met with excessive force after he called the police following being the victim of a hit and run. wow shocker!! A black man ended up getting tased and arrested after HE called the police for help as a victim of a crime! Long story short, after the police station investigated themselves and found that they weren’t at fault 🙄, through staging a one man protest, King Tyra was able to get this corrupt station in Florida closed for good (there was year’s worth of other evidence of the station’s corruption all of their dirty dealings).

Whoah.. I just listened 10 times in a row in disbelief. You captured in a song how I’ve felt my entire life, battling my weight, surviving multiple eating disorders, trying every diet on earth, exercising until I collapsed. The culture of shame is so strong in the U.S. that an intelligent conversation about health and weight is impossible, including with doctors. The company’s profiting off our demise orchestrate a society where we blame the individual and bully others for entertainment. That way we’re too ashamed and distracted to ever look closely at the people making our food, medicines, etc. I’ve been searching all my life for this song and I’m very grateful to the algorithm tonight for bringing me here. Please keep writing songs, you’re extremely talented and very intelligent.

The fat shaming in the comments is insane considering the message of the song does not seem to be about fat people at all, but rather mega corporations who do their best to engineer things that are incredibly addictive and extremely bad for you. Why would he spend so much time talking about the companies and the ingredients, and "self-investigations," if the message was actually about self control. One last point that people are letting fly over their heads... Cigarette companies would use the claim that doctors recommend smoking "healthy brands." One such brand was Camel, and they used this slogan to sell them: "More doctors smoke Camels than any other brand." And it took us years to do anything about it legally. In my opinion, the true message of this song is that we need to stop shaming fat people, and start targeting sinister corporations that put absolute garbage in our food with no repercussions. Take some legal action, folks. Jesse Welles has not punched down so far, why would he start now?

the cause of widespread obesity isn't the ingredients or the chemicals they put into food, its the portion size. Americans demand coke by the bucket and burgers so large one meal is enough calories is enough to feed two people for a day. obviously high fructose corn syrup and seed oils are terrible for your health and gut, but they are extremely cheap which is why you can have such large portions without the high costs. Japan consumes a lot of highly addicting snacks, yet doesn't have an issue with obesity because they understand that the simple equation of calories in > calories out, and have a workplace culture that promotes healthy living, you don't want to stand out as the fat person. I dont disagree with welles here, hes spot on with the research funding and that the advertising class should be blamed , i just think he is missing a few aspects of this epidemic going on.

This is the most accurate fat acceptance song I've ever heard. And it doesn't act like there is no problem with obesity. It hits on the head of corporate greed manipulating the masses and puts blame on the corporations rather than the consumer. One of the issues with tackling the climate crises has been that politicians and corporations decided to put the blame on the consumer, and we took the bait. We need to stop taking the bait so readily when these large corporations assign individual responsibility to consumers that they spent billions of dollars to ensure would come back in perpetuity.

@@setterfieldstray So we can control what's on the shelves at the grocery store? Not too much of that stuff is even remotely healthy sir, even the "organic" stuff that the majority of average people can't afford. FDA is a joke. Take a look at the ingredients of any food product on the shelves, if you googled those things it would blow your mind what americans are putting in their bodies. Shredded cheese had natamycin in it, which is a medicine available only by prescription. I think you may have missed the "point"

everyone missing the point. saying its someone else's fault for being fat, is the same as blaming someone's grandpa for dying of lung disease after smoking their whole life. Yeah were their people saying to stop, sure, we focus on them nowadays, and the anecdotes of Camels being the "number one recommended by doctors" but its the government's fault for not regulating these businesses and upholding them to the same standards as any healthy community.

@DangeroudDaisyDillinger-qm6on I had the fortune of having a father who was very health-literate. He exercised, ate well, etc. In turn, those habits were passed unto me. Unfortunately, a lot of Americans are not as lucky as I. We're inundated before we can speak with advertisements for fruit loops and Coca-Cola. Then lied to about its part of a "balanced breakfast." I don't see any ads telling you to eat a salad. Obviously, when someone is an adult, personal accountability comes into play, but it's very difficult when the programming starts in childhood.
