The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

" Approximately 40.3% to 43%
As of 2025, approximately 40.3% to 43% of U.S. adults are classified as obese. Specifically, one source indicates that 40.3% of adults are obese, while another source reports 43%. This highlights a significant public health concern regarding obesity in the United States. "

Are you aware of what products Coke sells? Are you aware of what KHC sells? See's candy? Has Buffett had any serious discussions with Coke to stop selling full sugar drinks? Any discussions with KHC to reduce the processed foods and the artificial coloring offered?

You are kidding again, right?
