Regardless of the election, the fatties must be stopped...

[Alphafail]

Yeah! Bariatric surgery for all!

TS socialist confirmed.

From the linked article: "The study didn’t look at the reasons behind the trends".

We know people are fat and we know fat is bad. Apparently we don't know why people are fat or what to do about it.

I mean there are reasons why people have gotten much fatter in a short period of time.

 

[Mike]

Lol America has always been a fat fuck country.

Buds we have gotten much biglier since I was a kid. Tremendously biglier

This is disgusting. Don't people care about their health? What about being attractive to the opposite sex? Being able to move around, be active, and simply...LIVE LIFE. For fucks sake, have some accountability for your lives.

Lack of nutritional education, as far as I could tell. I could be wrong, but I think those massive junk food companies that target kids should be held accountable, like cigarette companies that kill thousands a year.

How about parents?

Far from it squirt. Just lose weight.

How about parents?

I agree parents are the front line. But there are a lot of uneducated parents as well. I go to my neighbors house (we are buddies), he has fat kids, just feeds them soda and chips all the time. I told them he will kill his kids one day. Kids crave it and won't eat real food anymore. Parents want their kids to be happy so they get the kids what they want. It's a vicious cycle. Its a disaster. The next step after parents is doing something about these greedy corporations that only care about profits while selling poison to the masses. The companies say "well, there is a demand for it". No shit, you sell sugar to kids in massive doses! There is demand for crack cocaine too.

yeah man i could imagine.

i was looking at stats just quickly. and america was ranked 12 in the world for obesity. and their % has been creeping up over the years.

I worked with two fat girls a few years ago. Their environmental impact was crazy higher than mine. Always cranked the AC, never walked, ate way more etc. Fat people aka sherdogger's moms are bad for the world and healthcare

Less bullshit 40 hour a week office jobs would probably help plus more socialised medicine that works strongly on prevention and demands people loose weight to have access to some treatments.

A bit. I do dislike job jail, where no matter how productive you are, you're stuck in an office.
But people also need to stop being fat and being allowed to do so. Even with UHC they should pay higher premiums for being fatties.

An obvious failing of the free market. When 1/3 of your population is obese from eating fast foods and you have fast foods availability EVERYWHERE, it becomes ideological to NOT deal with the offer problem. But of course that would be communism so you guys are going to remain obese tubs of lard.

it should probably be via doctor judgement of whether they are actively looking to loose weight or not. In the UK for example something like a hip replacement you won't get on the NHS(you can still go private of course) if your obese unless you can show your doing something about it.

Long hours office jobs though are I'd guess a massive part of people being overweight, no physical labour at work and people are so worn out mentally that there not going to do anything but veg out infront of a screen when their not working.

TS sounds like one of those used to be fat asses who is now all uppity and critical towards his former fellow fat asses

I agree with the first part. Def doc discretion.

But man, I have kids, work. My wife works and I have heart disease, but I manage to be in decent shape. I can still do a set of 5x10 of pull-ups of 5x5 with a kid RNCing me. There's time. People just choose to spend it doing nothing in front of s screen eating

I love me some phatties

Obesity is a health problem according to that report

Some people will obviously still stay in shape but I think its pretty clear more people would stay in shape with shorter work hours.

Having kids at home at home and not at school isn't helping.

No recess.
No PE.
No Sports.

Zoom used to be a word associated with running fast.

A bit of exercise in a PE class isn't going to overcome consuming loads of extra calories anyway.
