Americans do need to be better educated on healthy lifestyle choices, but chronic health conditions can arise in otherwise healthy people too. I don't think you should be so quick to judge lest you find yourself in that situation some day.
Christ on a crawfish. I'm overweight - but I pay for it - every bit of it. So I'm not going to sit here and chastise someone for poor health choices. But you can't consume 4000+ calories a day of fried shite and expect other people to pay the bill (except that you can). No one should have to be told that.
Having said that I see billboards in BR all the time about being healthy from OLOL or BRG. I see all sorts of education efforts going on. I'm sure the fedgov spends a lot of money on this.

It should be taught in schools. Cut out the pizza, chicken nuggets, and soyburgers in school cafeterias. Replace the garbage that is served with most public school lunch with real food.
Then, have courses which emphasize as healthy diet and lifestyle. When I was in school, I vaguely remember learning some basic facts about the food pyramid but that was about it.
We should be providing people the means to make informed food choices rather than taking away what we deem bad for them.

Honestly, some people don't even understand the concept of calories.
Education can only go so far... When liberals try things like soda taxes, conservatives get mad. What other solutions are there?
