What can we do to make America less fat? It's a drain on our society.

Except that we as tax payers will continue to pay bills for a large number of these people without willpower, self-control, and self-respect.

but don't allow food stamp recipients to buy shite food.
Well, shite food is the cheapest to buy, full of high-fructose corn syrup and sodium. A child growing up on this kinda diet is more likely to do poorer in school (lot of other factors here too, obviously), and if not obese, are more likely to develop other underlying conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes.
And if taxpayers are gonna wind up subsidizing their health care in one form or another down the road, it behooves everybody to try our best to prevent it. And that should start early with introducing some sort of health and fitness classes in the elementary curriculum, more healthy school lunches, and replacing all the candy, cokes, chips, etc...in on-campus vending machines. That seems like an obvious place to start, spending a little extra money up front should save even more on the backend.
I’m sure there are plenty of studies that have yielded more specific cause and effect numbers relative to this. Maybe they’ve been referenced since I began this long-arse post.

Stop supporting them, let nature do its thing.
If we aren't supporting them, I don't give a damn.

I've posted this before.

"Most of the US is Obese. Most of the US isn’t even healthy. Obesity is in fact a chronic/pre existing condition.
We have at least 70 million obese Adult Americans. Obese patients are almost always sicker and harder to care for. Operating is harder - patient positioning, anatomy is not textbook at all etc. Taking care of an obese patient on a vent, everything I said x100. We have some potential nightmares ahead of us."

In case you missed that, it's from a doctor on my friends list, who is a urologist, but because of being short staffed, is being called to help with this pandemic.
I REALLY hope after this has cleared that...
- We stop promoting body positivity
- We stop promoting plus sized anything, because we all know you're not big boned
- We stop allowing people to say we're "fat shaming" when we talk about obesity
- We stop allowing social justice warriors to have a voice in this when it affects all of us in some way...LIKE RIGHT frickING NOW.
-We wake the frick up that obesity is a burden on the entire health care system
- We wake the frick up that it's connected to all of the pathologies that are killing people in Italy and that the world's leading expert on infectious disease says it will be one of the biggest factors in American deaths and Covid-19
- We wake up the frick up and change something, anything, EVERYTHING different than what we've been doing so that we aren't the fattest f'n nation in the world.
It's pathetic.
Body positivity has never f'n once...
- Lowered blood pressure
- Improved cholesterol
- Improved health markers
- Lowered chronic inflammation
- Cured diabetes
But...LOSING WEIGHT CAN AND HAS BEEN SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
If you're not going to be part of the solution, then stop being part of the problem.
And body positivity is part of the problem.
SJW's are part of the problem.
If this post hurt your feelings, or you are offended by it, YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.
Running away from this message, unfriending me, ignoring the fact that you "don't have poor health right now" is all a part of ignorant rationalization.
If you are overweight/obese, it has been PROVEN through longitudinal studies that you WILL have more health problems than those closer to ideal BMI.
You can get mad, but it doesn't change the facts.
It doesn't change the science.
It doesn't remove the problem that right now, this will get worse before it gets better because we're the fattest nation on the planet. And people need to stop tap dancing around it because you don't like the words "fat" and "obese".
I don't like the words "death" "mortality rate" "ICU" "pandemic".
If there was ever going to be something that would create a paradigm shift in this country, as far as fitness goes, if this doesn't do it...we're hopeless.

An unfortunate side effect of freedom is that you're free to be as fat and slovenly as you desire.
Very true. Same with alcohol, tobacco, sex, etc...Like with those, early education is key. Americans should have the freedom to get as fat as they want, as drunk as they want, smoke/dip/chew as long as they want, and have unprotected sex as much as they want. But we’ve got to make it VERY VERY clear why they shouldn’t—why their lives will suffer if they do all those things to excess.

We do this already with things like smoking cigarettes. People don’t care.

Stop doing that.
Government directly supports obesity, if you look at it properly.
When it stops being easy to be fat, obesity numbers will drop.

Popeyes and Canes have closed their lobby because people's health and safety are of great importance to them.
