Discussion of America's obesity crisis, how fast food is cheaper and more accessible than healthy food, and how that structurally sabotages people trying to eat well.
- Tim says people are lazy and it's easier to stop at Burger King than eat healthy when fast food is everywhere and healthier options are more expensive.
- Fat shaming versus celebrating fat people—Tim clarifies he doesn't want fat models and notes the fashion industry doesn't actually do that.
- Lizzo wearing diabetic boots prompts Tim's concern that she needs to lose weight before her health becomes critical.
- Lizzo called out a Postmates driver on Twitter, which Tim sees as problematic behavior from a multi-millionaire addicted to food.
- Tim gets angry at Postmates drivers too, but notes the difference between being frustrated and publicly shaming them on social media.
- Salt & Straw ice cream in Larchmont Village is Tim's particular weakness—he orders the salted malted chocolate cookie dough with fudge on top.
