Comment on I Ate: Burrito. Am I happy now?

If anime girl keeps eating like that and equates burritos with happiness, imagine her surprise in a few years when she sees you-are-what-you-eat becomes a reality. Her cute happy youthful face becomes saggy & puffy and her whole body becomes permanently bloated & chubby. She no longer feels like & free & sexually attractive in her body which lowers her self-esteem and narrows her pool of dating prospects. In her diminished state, she seems dopamine solace & love in the comfort of burritos. She becomes alone and all she can ever find comfort in are burritos for the rest of her life.

If this is where your mind goes when presented with with the otherwise wholesome image in the OP, I’d really recommend you talk to someone. If you have clinical depression, it isn’t your fault. Its a chemical imbalance and there is help available. We’re all broken in some way. Some people wear their challenges on the outside, other are invisible on the inside. There is zero shame in seeking help.

Or burritos.

Also burritos don’t have to be unhealthy. Lean chicken and/or potatoes, sour cream, lettuce, brown rice, salsa, sauteed onions and peppers, the fattiest thing is the wrap. Which far is not terribly bad(and sometimes nutritionally necessary) in the first place.

My only problem is that I’m obsessed with health & fitness.
I choose not to adapt to a sick obese society.
And if that makes me an outlier and you think I need to be medicated in order to conform to all the fat slobs in the world,
Then let’s just please never meet. I’m frolicking at a nude beach right now and you probably wouldn’t feel comfortable here.

That might be a problem if it rises to the level where causes you trouble interacting with society peacefully.
If you’re talking about your own personal choices and consumption, no one is asking you to be obese. More importantly, the picture or the post the OP made also also doesn’t advocate for an obese society, so your assumption that it is would be projection on your part, no?
If instead you’re saying you won’t tolerate other people in society being obese, that a very large problem because you don’t get to make those choices for others.
That’s a nice strawman, but it belongs to you, not me.
I suggested you need might want help because you saw a fairly innocuous wholesome picture of a cartoon character that enjoyed a meal and you wrote an entire narrative about how it would lead to the subject becoming obese and unhappy in life. That’s not a reaction most folks have. Does that seem okay with you that you saw something that would otherwise be considered cute or happy and you only saw darkness in it?
Continue to do that if it brings you joy and fulfillment and doesn’t hurt anyone.

You should have a burrito.

Or obsessed with fat, and unable to cope with society being convinced that the “I’m about 5 seconds away from dying of teburculosis” look is the only way to be hot for women.
Like, especially with them specifying chubby… Chubby girls are cute and way more snuggleable.
Nobody goes on a tirade against something like this without being obcessed
