Evil Force
Chandler's apartment.
"Oh, Joey, are you alright?"
At this point, Monica found out and rushed over to visit her.
"Monica, I almost died."
Joey looked like she was about to cry.
"OMG!"
Monica covered her mouth and said, "It's that serious? Didn't they pump your stomach?"
That's not what he meant.
Adam revealed the truth. "On the way back, he wanted to eat hamburgers again, and he cried because he couldn't eat so much as he used to anymore."
"..."
Monica immediately lowered her hand and rolled her eyes at Joey.
"What's wrong?"
Joey complained, "You know me. If I can't eat as much as I want, what's the difference between that and being dead?"
"I'm very curious."
Adam asked curiously, "Joey, how did you develop this eating habit?"
"Hey! It's not that I raised them to be this big eater, it's just that our Tribbiani Family all have this kind of appetite."
Feeling offended, Joey pointed to himself and said, "It's natural!"
"I don't believe it."
Adam laughed and said, "I don't think it's innate at all, but rather something you develop later in life. If I remember correctly, you have seven sisters. When you were little, you probably fought over food, right?"
"Well."
Joey paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."
That's it.
Adam snapped his fingers, "You brothers and sisters have always fought over food since you were little, afraid of not getting enough to eat. The more you fight over food, the more delicious it tastes. That's how the Tribbiani Family developed the characteristic of being able to eat a lot."
Joey pondered for a moment, then realized it made perfect sense and had no rebuttal.
"And do you know why there are more and more fat people in the United States?"
Adam paused here, then said to Monica, "No offense intended!"
"It doesn't matter."
Monica's lips twitched slightly. "The Monica you offended was the old Monica. The current Monica isn't fat at all, so she doesn't care at all."
You say you don't care, but can't your expression be a little more convincing?
"That's good."
Adam assumed Monica genuinely didn't care and laughed, "The reason there are more and more fat people in United States is because of their unhealthy diets. Joey, I've wanted to say this for a long time. Not only are you not worried about your overeating, but you're actually proud of it. I guess you haven't realized the Evil Force hidden in it, have you?"
"Evil Force?"
Joey and the other two spoke in unison.
Monica retorted, "How did eating become a topic of Evil Force?"
"Look at what you like to eat."
Adam analyzed, "Soda, hamburgers, sandwiches, fried chicken, ice cream, potato chips, hot dogs, pizza, and donuts are all high-sugar, high-calorie foods and drinks. Eating this kind of junk food can make you gain a pound in just one meal. How can you not gain weight if you eat it every day?"
And haven't you noticed that the portions of hamburgers, fried chicken, and other fast food items at various fast food restaurants are getting bigger and bigger, and drinks are all-you-can-drink for just one dollar?
"Joey, you hate it when people only eat half a sandwich, right?"
"Certainly."
Joey immediately shouted, "If you only eat half a sandwich today, you can only eat half a sandwich from now on. This is not the style of the Tribbiani Family..."
"Sandwiches and hamburgers are getting bigger and bigger, and many people, like Joey, subconsciously eat the whole thing."
Adam cautioned, "After eating such a large sandwich or hamburger, your stomach will be stretched without you even realizing it. Then you will find that you want to eat more and can eat more. Then your stomach will be stretched even more and you can eat even more, completely entering a vicious cycle."
United States love sweets, and they even have sugar daddies. Foods like potato chips, pizza, and sandwiches are already high in calories, but United States also like to eat them with butter and various jams.
The heat was absolutely terrifying, Battle Through the Heavens!
Don't be fooled by the fact that Joey can eat whatever he wants and never gain weight. In reality, Joey would be a super fat man who needs to be pushed from behind to sit down at the table, which is piled high with all sorts of high-calorie foods, just enough for one person.
Similarly, if Sheldon hadn't lived with Leonard and Rajesh, they would both have become extremely obese.
Why do people fantasize about the worst-case scenario: themselves or someone else becoming extremely obese?
Because of the slightest setback, people are prone to overeating and giving up on themselves, which leads to obesity. And the real world is full of setbacks.
That's it.
Monica wore an expression of unbearable sorrow.
"The more you eat, the fatter you get, and it's easy to gain weight but hard to lose it."
Adam laughed and said, "People travel by car or subway, and they rarely walk, let alone exercise. The fatter people are, the less they want to walk, so they choose to stay at home, order more takeout, and eat more food."
So the question arises: in this process, who benefits the most?
Joey looked bewildered.
Chandler and Monica exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Catering Group!"
"Right."
Adam laughed and said, "A fat person's appetite is several times, even ten times, that of an average person. If the whole world were full of fat people, you can imagine how much more money these catering companies could make. The profits involved are enormous."
"They're treating us like pigs."
Chandler murmured.
"More or less."
Adam lamented, "The meat that poor people eat is all hormone-treated meat, which makes them very fat. The fatter they are, the more they eat, and the higher the obesity rate becomes."
The wealthy, on the other hand, tend to eat less of these high-sugar, high-calorie junk foods and prefer high-quality meats and fruit and vegetable salads, as well as exercising more to maintain their figure.
Because they know those fast foods are junk food, meant to feed the poor.
It seems that Iron Man has a particular fondness for hamburgers and donuts. The first thing he did after being kidnapped was to eat a hamburger. Even when he was on the verge of death from palladium poisoning, he still wore his Iron Armor and landed on a giant donut to eat it.
But this doesn't mean he actually likes to eat it; it just means he made easy money.
Even Iron Armor Iron Man suit as fireworks, was bribed. This shows just how powerful and terrifying this force is...
Why didn't anyone tell me?!
Joey's eyes widened, and he exclaimed excitedly.
"You really don't know?"
Adam was also surprised.
Everyone actually knows the answer to this question.
They simply accepted their fate.
If you can't afford high-quality meat and don't eat fast food, what should you eat?
I don't have the time or energy to exercise, so I'll just accept being overweight.
Even Thor, turned into a happy couch potato after coming to Earth, fed on beer and fried chicken.
Besides, if we're going to get fat, everyone will get fat.
In the future world of Robot WALL-E, aren't all the people just fat guys who can't get up from their chairs?
Fantasy all originates from reality.
These are all common sense, something everyone knows, but everyone subconsciously ignores them. After all, you can't fight back, so why struggle? Lying down and being a happy couch potato isn't so bad, is it?
There are still hundreds of millions of hungry people around the world.
Happiness is always relative.
Okay, everyone knows that, except for Joey.
He probably really didn't know...
