What's a good plan to reduce obesity in America?

Too many fat people in the US now, and it keeps increasing

We should systematically gather them all into concentration camps, force them to do manual labor, let them starve, then gas them in showers and/or incinerate them.

I think that public education is the only real answer, but we're in that end game now. Not only will people not take responsibility for their actions -> they are actually not even truly responsible for them!

Maybe we can have cars where you have to pedal them to go. Like how we have power steering we will have power pedalling though of different resistances depending on how obesed or out of shape the person is though.

It should be treated as a mental illness or similar to a drug addiction, or they could just stop eating so much.

I think the opposite is happening, though. It is being normalized and encouraged.

Well if COVID has taught us anything is that our governments can decree whatever they like in the name of public health.

We just need our governors to make a decree to ban all junk food, and that everyone has to eat at below maintenance, in order to strengthen public health.

Let a marxist regime like BLM take over the country and nationalize all the farms. The food shortage will see millions starve to death like the soviet unino

honestly if we could get accurate data im sure it would prove this in young people.

It might serve as a motivator but idk. I feel like we should bring back physical fitness requirements for high school students.


Government restructuring their stupid food pyramid thats clearly bull****.

One thing that could help a lot is an anti alcohol ad campaign like they did with smoking

a lot of ppl drink and gain extra cals from beer

would have a lot of benefits as well for public health

More fruits and vegetables, less meat and dairy. It’s not hard.

There isn't. You'll be acused of fat shaming or being a "stoutist" (a person who is against stout people).

Reduce the cost of the food they enjoy and add as much corn syrup as possible. Increase packaging sizes and run campaigns through social media to tie eating various foods to social standing. Advertise, normalize, TV shows about exceptionally obese individuals so people see they're "not really that fat". Start gyms that discourage exercise and provide their patrons with candy and pizza. Reduce time spent on eating and meal prep to make prepared foods the standard.

No more hormones for animals.
No more corn syrup.
Encourage people to use their legs. Stop using drive throughs. People would look at you sideways if you talked about using drive through ATMs, Starbucks etc in Europe. Srs

It's part of American culture. Normies eat a lot of junk food and snack every 2 hours. Normies bring donuts to work and have group lunches and go out to eat/drink with people all the time.

If it wasn't part of the culture then not as many people would be obese.

Education and incentivisation, for example, if companies gave their employees a bonus for being below a certain threshold of body fat.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.
