So they're pre-ordained not to?

I have a loved one who certainly chooses to, to the point of having had bariatric surgery; GLPs have been an important follow-up. It's really not as simple as you make it out to be.

What if that cultural one is letting the processed foods industry engineer everything to be deeply addicting?
