I do what to ask how everyone thinks the thread is going? I feel it has become too "general chat" compared to the more "economics chat" it used to be. I also think people are focusing too much on "doom" and getting into a doom-spiral posting.

If anyone has any comments you can post them in reply or pm me.

i think it would be good to return to economics chat, but i'm not worried people are getting into "doom-spiral" posting. it's the doomsday economics thread, it's supposed to be doom focused.

I'd be interested in reading a thread like that, especially if it has anything to say about why Americans are so uniquely bad when it comes to obesity (I assume it has something to do with how much less food-like the "food" we eat here is vs. other countries as well as our gigantic portion sizes, but I'd be curious what actual data has to say about it).

Americans are not uniquely bad, they're not even in the top ten anymore.

I work in manufacturing and between our network and two others we deal with and adding in people I know from other manufacturers there seems to be a pretty large slowdown in the contract manufacturing business.

One large company that manufacturers for about 80 different customers is currently begging us for extra work because they are at 60% of capacity. This is a big deal because years ago we built our own capacity since this manufacturer has been beyond 100% capacity and on overtime for the past decade we have been dealing with them. Anytime we approached them with work they would just give us ridiculous prices and lead times. Now they are cold calling and giving huge discounts on output to try and keep their doors open.

What's funny is the feds infinite stimulus might be hiding the slowdown they are looking for. Small business are imploding and large businesses are doing layoffs but the stock market won't crash because the trillions they printed in 2020 are still washing around.

Yeah I mostly just lurk but I enjoy the economics stuff during the week and the random stuff on the weekend as long as it’s chill and not full of slap fighting.

I’m not worried about the doom posting too much either because the one thing this thread has proven over and over is how wrong goons are so this thread is probably the only thing keeping the wheels on the bus at this point.

cool. maybe I'd nest that under another bullet point of: Pathophysiology of obesity and metabolic diseases?

also: Evidence for and construction of nutrition guidelines

the constructs of "health foods," "junk food," etc would overlap between the above and anthropology of food

Definitely, that's looking like an awesome thread.

It's even more mind boggling when you look at overweight + obese.

Per the CDC:

Percent of adults aged 20 and over with overweight, including obesity: 73.6% (2017-2018)

We are very much on the path to there being no healthy Americans.

Shoot me a DM if you want some contributions/ideas from the clinical side of things.

I’ve never worked in bariatric or weight management specifically, but I’ve done a lot of work adjacently and apparently made more referrals to weight management in 2022 then anyone in my hospital system lol.
