All by design: A fat, dumbed-down populace is easier to control.

My uncle Tuck (RIP) nic named me that. He was teaching me to swim old school. Threw me in Lake O the Pines off 155 bridge. Said I floated like a fatboy, so it stuck.
To answer your question, I eat what I want, when I want.
Don't let the name fool ya.

This tables seems to suggest the Covid pandemic caused obesity to get even worse? Not to mention the lockdowns caused kids to lose 20 iq points.
Way to go covidiots. ‘Hubris and the Law of Unintended Consequences” is undefeated.

I grew up in 90s. Had every video game console, played every night and have never been close to obese.
Same. However, I had the option to stay in all day and play video games. My parents were very laissez faire when it came to most of my extracurricular activities as a child. I just chose not to do that. Mostly because video games got old after a while.

With food stamps no less. But any time someone wants to change the rules to ban food stamps from being used to buy Twinkies, Fritos or Coke, the agribusiness lobby starts screaming about how we want to "kill the family farm".

jclem, their are unforeseen benefits as well. I exercise at the school a couple of blocks from my house. I tell my wife Odysseus was warned but the sirens songs were so beautiful he steered his ship mistakenly onto the rocky shores, and those same sirens call me to the rum shop (local bar vernacular) between my home and the school. The wifey says take the other road, I told her, there is a rum shop on that road too.

That's probably low. It's unbelievable how many fat arse little kids I see on the beach everyday.

This epidemic is absolutely not down to individual choices. This refrain avoids the distinct biochemical argument about changes in food processing, and how those key ingredients, such as processed palm oil, are broken down by the body. Earlier nutritional intervention, even during pregnancy, would likely save billions on billions of dollars over a lifetime, as early nutritional deficiencies, diabetes, and improper addition or removal of micronutrients all can have massively debilitating effects.

This isnt true and is super simple minded.
The very building blocks of food have changed DRAMATICALLY all around us in the last 50 years.
its not even "you only eat fast food". Just take that as an example, actual fast food has changed. Calories in fast food entres have gone up around 30 calories per decade.

I’m talking about spreading the message of good health. Especially during Covid. I never said anything about forcing people to do anything. Obesity related deaths is the #1 killer

When I was 5 to 11, I was so skinny I had to run around in the shower to get wet. But, we were either in school or outside running and playing from daylight to dark.

When you stop shaming and "bullying" (that word has been so dumbed-down) and tell kids that 400lb land whales can be Victoria Secret Models, you get this....

I noted from a few years back when my step-daughter was in 5th grade that the obese kids being picked-up were being picked-up by obese parents.

There is no reason that EBT cards cannot, and should not be programmed to reject purchases of Cheetos, Lil Debbies and all manner of junk food.
Doritos are not a snack. They are delicious empty calories with no nutritional value.
Nanny state shite like banning the sale of Big Gulps is insane. We’re free to buy and consume what we want for our own money. But I tend to believe the rule my parents laid down for me as a teenager- “if you’re going to live under my roof; you’re going to live under my rules.”
If I am paying for someone else’s dinner, they are living under my roof. I shouldn’t have to pay for anything on the inside aisles of the grocery store except brown rice, whole oats, or coffee.
I’ve posted on here b4 that I once stood behind some idiot in a line at a convenience store who was probably 15 yrs younger than me and about 50 pds less. She slowed up the line bc the EBT machine wasn’t working for her skittles and massive Coke She was buying for dinner. It makes me livid.
And as much as I detest Michelle Obama, I never had any issue with her trying to make sure school lunches were healthy. There’s no reason our tax dollars should be spent so that kids eat only chicken nuggets and are in high school and cannot identity a whole vegetable

Loaded with carbs (and I'm guessing the dairy is skim milk).
Don't kid yourself into thinking you can make the right decision on this shite.
