Why aren't Americans doing anything about the obesity epidemic they're facing?
It's like they kinda tried for a while but at some point gave up entirely and started sexualising fat people

What is there to do exactly?
We didn't even sexualize fat people, it's an arm of third wave feminism that is supposed to keep them from feeling bad by convincing them they should cope with being fat instead of trying to change it.
What should we do, unironically? I feel like there’s a lot of factors but no single, easy answer.
Bring back a culture of shaming people for their poor choices. Such a thing exists in other parts of the world fine
You could tax them harder, or raise their health insurance premiums to begin with. Give healthy people tax breaks for it - just keep an activity log, bring it with you to the doctor for a yearly check up, and he'll file you under either "good to go" or "lay down the fucking fork". There's your documentation for when you apply for the deduction.
Schools should introduce a daily fitness regimen (JFK had a good thing going: youtube.com
We've been trying, the two-party system has been fucking us over. The second one party brings up an issue, the other is immediately against it and will fight to the death over it, just because.
fat ppl are good for the economy
>consume more food
>frequently change cloths
>sooner or later medical help is needed
>everything need to be large, costs more
>die sooner because health issues, no pension
fat profit
corporations have the FDA in their pocket so they can shove any shit into food like trans fats and HFCS which are detrimental to human health, combined with sedentary lifestyles and needing to drive everywhere because everything is so spread out and the fact they have massive portion sizes compared to the rest of the world
every day im greatful for the EU protecting us from poisonous low quality US food here
BREHS
Because obesity is a poor's people illness and we don't care about poor people.
not for much longer
There is two types of men - ones who loves fatty girls and ones who try to hide it. Choose your side.

Tax the shit out of sugar. You can't let the fast food industry keep promoting their unhealthy shit freely.
>Bring back a culture of shaming people for their poor choices
That's what they do and it doesn't work
Forced conscription for men for a start
Send them to addiction clinics as that's what they are: addicts
You can't send 3/4 of the population to addiction clinics
i eat less than 2000 calories a day easily but im a fat cunt because theres nothing to do except drink. I don't even know what else i'd do socially if i didn't drink fairly heavily with my friends, family and people i live with.
What else do you do? watch free to air tv or some shit? $15 mini golf?
>Tax the shit out of sugar
Do sports
t. Kraft Foods Inc. shill
an hour of cardio burns like 100 calories cunt
exercise is good but it means fuck all compared to diet for actual weight change. If i want to lose any weight at all i have to eat 1200 calories a day during the week or 1500 and live my entire life in my room.
Why don't you get a hobby that you like? Hunting & fishing maybe. That's a lot of fun.
>an hour of cardio burns like 100 calories cunt
the fuck are you babbling about, it burns around 500-600, more if you're fat
100 kcal/hour is about your base metabolic rate
>100 calories burned in one ONE hour
Nigga what do you in that hour ? breath really heavy and imagine you box ?
fucking hell every thing to track calories ive used has put it down as fuck all
oh well you unless you've done it from a young age there isn't really any way of doing it without general humiliation and i probably couldn't keep it secret anyway
>humiliation
people don't really care, you know, and if they do it's in a positive way, as in, "great, this dude is taking care of his fat"
Nigga just jump rope in your bathroom. That shit burns calories like crazy and you don't expose yourself. Alcohol is a motherfucker to have as a vice tho, every time i drink i know i can fall into hard drinking if i'm not careful
i don't like being thought of
that has definitely made me more up for cardio, maybe it was weightlifting bullshit basically just lying to get people to do their stuff instead, but i stopped playing cricket and soccer because i was too shit anyway. There isn't really any sport you can pick up as an adult and not look literally disabled.
I was looking for actual realistic policy proposals, not moralistic crusading which involves passing laws that personally attack people you don’t like.
Proper education goes a long way. I don't think it's a personal attack on someone to educate them on healthy foods vs unhealthy and how to generally live healthy.
>attacking muh feelings with facts and logic
Sounds like communism.
Americans do this all the time woth poor people and it doesn't look like it's helping.
Fatphobia needs to end!
day of the treadmill
You won't get it. Choose wisely burger, your fee fees or your life.
Travelling a mile burns roughly 100 calories, you'll burn them faster if you run (since you're covering the distance faster) but it's still generally 100 calories per mile but can be higher if you're fatter. Just start walking in the morning or even just pace in a room for ages
exactly!
that's a strong beautiful womon!
don't ignore my proposal of taxing sugar
Ration food with coupons
Putting extra tax on fat or sugary products was already tried in belgium i think. All it did was make their whole population buying food abroad, almost killing their local economy.
Its extremly hard to stop being poor when you cant afford education and you have low IQ, 3 children, credit card debt with high interest and often also crime record. On other hand to stop being obese you just need to eat less food.
Cheaper health care insurance for people with healthy BMI, playing ads online and in tv about how to count calories and that its very realistical to losing fat while still eating freedom hamburgers. You mostly fight obesity with education.
Also banning corporations from putting corn syrup into everything. What you call bread in USA here in europe we call it cake.
The hard truth is that /fit people dont need doctors, spend less money on food, dont need blood pressure pills. It isnt profitable to have healthy population. Corporations make insane amount of extra money on obese people.
Thanks to retards like you fat people stay fat. Recommending to fat person to do sport is the worst thing possible. They will try for one day, injure themselves and only reinforce the feeling that obesity is uncurable and death is preferable than sport.
Being able to do sport is /fit people priviledge. You first nees to stop being obese before your joints and heart will be able to do any kind of sport.
they'll die in 20-40 years, we figure we'll just try again then.
>All it did was make their whole population buying food abroad
A EU tax wouldn't have allowed for that, and the USA are large enough that it would definitely work. To buy shit in Canada or Mexico you have to exchange your money, and change units of measure and in the case of Mexico and Québec, even language, which isn't the case in Belgium (either you speak French and cross into France or speak Flemish and cross into the Netherlands or speak German and cross into Germany, and in all three you pay in euros).
I recommend that he do sport as an alternative to drinking, not as a way to lose weight
>Being able to do sport is /fit people priviledge. You first nees to stop being obese before your joints and heart will be able to do any kind of sport.
All he literally needs to do is eat less (in terms of calories) and walk a few miles a day and he'll lose weight. People's perception of weight loss methods has swung too far in favour of managing intake vs exercise by claiming that it takes an eternity of exercise to burn a few hundred calories. Mild diet change+ a habit of walking everyday or even every other is the best method
>but at some point gave up entirely and started sexualising fat people
nah, it's just obese retards pretending that they are attracted to their disgusting obese bodies
it's a new level of cope
