Free will is a lie we tell ourselves.
Is someone force-feeding you?
Is that really the only scenario you can think of that limits your food choices?
It's
"Hmmm this food that I have right now has a lot of calories, maybe I should change it or eat less of it"
VS
"ayyy lmao, it's the big food industry leaving me no choice, imma destroy this fucking burger"
More like:
"I can spend a ton of executive function thinking about and preparing food in a way contrary to what the food industry and their advertisers, food engineers, psychologist, etc., try to get a person to do while having only a slight chance at losing weight if I've already gained it. I'll probably do so by getting involved in the super scammy diet industry."
Vs
"I don't want to spend that much of my life thinking about, preparing, tracking food (maybe because I have an eating disorder/medical issue/mental health issues, maybe because it's just not worth it to me)"
It's also not just a choice, it's dozens of choices every day, forever.
You're way oversimplifying it. We're not going to magically get better humans, so maybe changing the systems would be a better way to get results than relying on people and industry to change their behavior (which is obviously not working).
Lol, nah
Yeah, on second thought, you do make a good point.
