Mackey said that the world is getting fat but that Americans are leading the way. He also said that the U.S. has had “more of a problem” with COVID-19 due to obesity-related comorbidities like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure. Mackey has come under fire for saying that obesity is not an access problem, and instead said that ignorance and poor choices are to blame for obesity. When journalist David Gelles mentioned issues around access and affordability as a reason why people eat unhealthy foods, the Whole Foods CEO said: “In some sense, we’re all food addicts....

Players can apply status effects on enemies in Outriders in many ways. Typically, a weapon might have a modification that causes its bullets to apply the effect, or some class abilities cause this to happen as well.
