They need to be shamed and ostracized.

The moment people start treating them like the disgusting ogres they are is when it will change.

Also instill some form of cultural fasting, like ramadan, this would help tremendously.

Calories in, calories out.

It's not the beer, it's excess total calories.

Combined with a 100% lack of exercise.

There's people who sit at a computer all day, get home, and do NOTHING but sit there, too.

I'm a lazy fuk miscer with too many posts on this forum, but still did 97 minutes of cardio this morning, weights yesterday, and 108 minutes of cardio the day before that.

Physical activity should be the rule, not the exception to the rule.

This is true but my point was that alcohol is not the problem, an all-out lack of self-control is. It's perfectly possible to drink in moderation and not get fat.

It's terrific, right? So you know, I am in heaven."

On the responsibility part - I don't think it is "kinda". The abdication of responsibility pervades many aspects of modern society - ironically, the very society most of these people blame for their ills.

Anyone on this forum who has had to "cut" or adhere to a reasonably strict diet/lifestyle for gains may have very little sympathy for the obese. Especially the posters here who were once chubby etc.

Legalize test. 100% srs. It’s now time to give low dose t cruising a try for people who struggle with poverty and weight loss. Nothing else is working

I’m interested in other thoughts on that. No more than 100 mg a week

There’s obviously not one right answer, but proper physical education in schools (starting from kindergarten), including ethics/mindset education, physical training, nutrition, and compulsory participation in competition wouldn’t hurt, with an hours per day (not per week) target. It should be the most important part of the school day, we all know the character/mindset built through hardship is what allows you to achieve in the future.

No idea about the current generation, but I imagine when parents are put to shame by their 8 year old sons/daughters, there might be a culture shift.

The answer is pretty simple. Srs.

Culture. It all starts from within the home. When you implement a healthy lifestyle in your home, your kids follow suit.

There's a reason why America is so fat in general, but sub groups like asians and the amish aren't.

I watched a documentary called "The Motivation Factor" on YouTube (yes I actually rented it haha), and it talked about the importance of movement. The premise was based around the gym classes in La Sierra High School. Of course we all know it was partly to get kids in shape for the military/war if necessary, but the beneficial effects it had were compounding in their lives.



We don't move enough, coupled with high caloric content. So many people grew up with zero discipline in health and fitness, so this just creates the perfect storm when you add in the capitalistic pursuits of fast food.

Start young. Create an in home healthy living lifestyle. Schools need to promote major health education/gym restructuring to push kids physically. This is just as important as mental stimulation, if not more.

Until then, people will continue to get more unhealthy, and continue to implode the healthcare industry.

The best plan is to teach them that it all comes down to a calorie deficit, and to ignore 90% of what they think they know about fat loss (myths like don't eat late at night, etc. etc.)

Maybe a Fat Tax?

Mandatory once a year health screening. Fat fukks have an extra income tax to pay and welfare fatties have their welfare cut by an amount relative to how fat they are.

Nothing motivates people more than money.

Tax them on obesity level.

Top 1% should pay their fair share. They got all that money to eat they won't miss a little.

Edit: I did not read comments but I see tax brought up. I'm not talking about taxing unhealthy food. I'm talking about unhealthy people.

Edit 2: yep, people saying tax fats and sugar. Forget that. I'm not big as Avi and name points out. If it wasn't for fats I'd be a stick. Also, I enjoy sugar but I control my intake.

Why reduce it? The sooner fatties eat themselves to death the better.

Even though it would probably destroy a lot of companies, all the junk food at the grocery store needs to stop being made i.e fruit snacks, pop tarts,chips,crackersbreakfast cereal and a majority of pre made frozen food.
