    I was going to mention how “first world problems” this is, but then noticed it’s in mildly infuriating.

    Same thing, basically.

      I think of the meme of first world problems as unimportant. Obesity is straight up killing people though, so I don’t know if it really fits. Especially because it’s so strongly inversely correlated with wealth. It’s literally a problem associated with living in the first world and being poor.

        It is literally a ‘first world problem’ then :p but not in the usual sense of small significance.
