I guess you'll just keep waiting since you aren't going to read what's already been provided.

Maybe what needs to happen is for someone to explain to you what proof actually is.

Neat.

Have the government stop pushing grains as healthy and people need to move more.

Michelle's plan has backfired, ask any teacher. The food is barley edible, so that most kids bring lunches now. My wife is a teacher, she said last year that cafeteria lunches were down somewhere around 40-50%. The kids hate the wheat everything!

As far a solution to the initial question, I often wonder if total removal of soft drinks and high sugar juices would change things. I remember we didn't drink cokes growing up that much, but I do remember them being considered a treat. Plus a study should be done on how the sizing of soft drinks has effected obesity. Used to be 6oz bottles, then 12oz cans, then 16oz bottles, now it's 20oz and up. That has to directly correlate to obesity.

Government setting max calorie regulations for fast food and restraurant meals would probably help but I don’t really agree with it. And the super fatties could always just order 2 meals to make up for it

Also, government banning high fructose corn syrup would probably help

I also agree with the bad parenting comment.

It’s a parents job to instill healthy habits and mindset to their kids at a young age wether it’s emotionally, physically or academically

part of the lower sperm count this generation manifests might be about fitness.

I'm betcha.

Natures way of cutting into the billions on earth.

Idk if it will actually happen, because they’ll just claim discrimination, but healthcare premiums should skyrocket once people hit a certain weight. There is no reason why insurance companies should keep dishing out payments for conditions caused by something so preventable.

People say exercise but I've dropped 40 pounds - from 220 to 180 - simply by eating correctly and avoiding all simple carbohydrates.
Eating correctly means not eating until you are full. It means eating an amount that is about the same size as your fist. Your hunger will be well satisfied by 20 minutes after you eat. Also eat consciously.
Don't eat until you're hungry but eat as soon as you're hungry.
Learn the difference between feeling hungry and sugar-cravings.
Be consistent and in a few weeks you will begin to shed fat very quickly.
You will be amazed.
Moderate exercise is ok. Just enough to make you sweat but don't overdo it.
This is the easiest, simplest and most painless way to do it.
It's also much easier to maintain the weight loss once you reach your goal.

Change the way food is produced here. Everything has high fructose corn syrup in it. Sugar. Sugar and yup, more damn sugar. Crappy food is cheap and good food is expensive.

An economic collapse would do it too though.
