That shit is expensive. Good thing WalMart carries Relion Humilin N cheap, like $25, and a vial lasts around 3 months or so for my cat. The cat specific insulin costs around $130 a vial, and doesn't work very good after about a month, where as the cheap stuff from WalMart is just as good months later.
Diabetes will cost anywhere from a few thousand to a hundred thousand per year.

The question isn't what specific caloric content their eating, it's the VOLUME of the calories they are eating. Eating multiple 2000 calorie meals a day, no matter what the calorie structure of the food is, becomes the real issue.
——————
This is false
The quality of the calories matters so much more than the quantity.

Obesity is killing off people’s taste buds, and now scientists can explain why
Researchers at Cornell University report the discovery that, in mice, a tiny amount of inflammation driven by obesity actually reduced the number of taste buds on their tongues. Their work was published this week (March 20) in the journal PLOS Biology, and it may wind up aiding the development of new therapies to alleviate what’s called “taste dysfunction” among people who suffer from obesity.
As part of their work, the researchers split lab mice into two groups and fed each group a different diet for eight weeks. The first group ate a standard rodent chow, comprised of 14% fat, 54% carbohydrate, and 32% protein. The second group got a high-fat diet consisting of 58.4% fat, 26.6% carbohydrate, and 15% protein, which led to obesity in the group.
After eight weeks, the researchers examined the two groups of mice and noticed the obese mice had 25% fewer taste buds.Taste buds typically consist of 50 to 100 cells and usually last about 10 days before they are cycled out and replaced. Those cells are able to taste at least five different tastes, too: salt, sweet, bitter, sour, and umami.

Very interesting. Could be nature's way of trying to get obese people to eat less for their own good.
In the old days it was the King who would be fat. Now it is the peasants.

Yes.. And anyone who spent money to do a study that tells you that food tastes better then you are hungry wasted their money.

A National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) sampling of 27,449 adults with a BMI between 30 and 40 found that among those aged 20 years and older, obesity went from 33.7% in 2007-2008 to 39.6% in 2015-2016. Severe obesity - those with a BMI above 40, jumped from 5.7% to 7.7% over the same period.
The increase in obesity among the 16,875 youth sampled was much lower, going from 16.8% a decade ago to 18.5% in 2015-2016. Still pretty bad.
National trends
The CDC has prepared handy list of statistics as well as maps of average obesity by state, as well as by race. In a nutshell, the south is a hotbed of obesity.
Of note:
Obesity decreased by level of education. Adults without a high school degree or equivalent had the highest self-reported obesity
Young adults were half as likely to have obesity as middle-aged adults.
Obesity Prevalence in 2016 Varies Across States and Territories
All states had more than 20% of adults with obesity.
35% or more adults had obesity in 5 states (Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and West Virginia).
The South had the highest prevalence of obesity (32.0%), followed by the Midwest (31.4%), the Northeast (26.9%), and the West (26.0%).
“Most people know that being overweight or obese is unhealthy, and if you eat too much that contributes to being overweight,” says Dr. James Krieger, clinical professor of medicine at the University of Washington and executive director of the advocacy group Healthy Food America. “But just telling people there’s a problem doesn’t solve it.”
And as The Herald also notes, Americans are cramming their craws with more fast food than ever...
While the latest survey data do not explain why Americans continue to get heavier, nutritionists and other experts cite lifestyle, genetics and, most importantly, a poor diet as factors. U.S. fast-food sales rose 22.7 percent from 2012-2017, according to Euromonitor, while packaged-food sales rose 8.8 percent. -Miami Herald
