Also make having obese children count as abuse.There I solved it.Also enough with the corn In everything okay America?

Like Japan did.

Mandatory weight loss camp if your waist is a certain size, and fat tax.

>>35755207
this is why the country stagnates. Can't even agree on this most basic issue

Stop giving people benefits if they are disabled from their weight. Literally all you have to do is take their money away and they will starve and lose the weight. Why is this so hard to understand?

hide the salami

its so disappointing that obesity is literally a problem when i am not even obese

1. Solve the "Grocery desert" Issue so that the poor don't need to eat twinkies for every meal
2. Actually, solve the poor problem since the likely % of Poor to Fat is massive
3. Shit, even if poor people are uplifted to a meagre standard of living they'd still be retarded and would go back to poverty immediately so I guess you have to fix education
4. Once they have money and brains, they can eat well
...but they'd still be undisciplined and lack any self control so you're going to have to fund mental health centers

Uuuhhh, become an idealized Canada?
I mean, like not Canada, The Great White North(tm) sort of sucks, but become their idealized self image

>>35755199
>Government out, 64 Oz Cups
>Government in, 16 Oz Cups

Nice bait.

>>35755207

A fairly large portion of the obese population is on welfare and people pop out a bunch of fat ass kids to get more welfare. Also, the government subsidizes the shit out of corn.

Seems like government is the problem. Not sure that giving the government more money is going to fix the problem.

>>35755237

>government in - using welfare to buy 64 oz cups of soda
>government out - people make better choices with their limited income

Nice bait.

>>35755237

So, they just go to the grocery store and use their food stamps to buy 2 liter bottles of soda. What's your point?

>>35755239
You're right I just thought the tax would dissuade people from gorging themselves.

>>35755154
Proper, consistent, realistic education in school. No "We all come in different sizes" bullshit, just the raw truth about nutrition and weight loss.

Declare child obesity of a certain degree as what it really is: Child abuse.

Ban stuff like HAES and whatnot. It is legitimately propagating lies that can seriously harm the health of millions.

Tax fatties. Set flight ticket prices by weight. It's unreasonable that a person who weighs twice as much pays the same I do AND makes the experience worse for everyone.

>>35755207
You do know that there is a higher chance of slim/thin tax

>>35755249
>people still buy shit because they're dumb poor people with no grocery stores nearby

>>35755261

It will, for some, but like most government intervention it's likely to cause a whole host of other problem. Government involvement rarely fixes social issues. The government has been actively trying to give minorities a leg up for decades and yet the disparity between whites and non-asian minorities only seems to be growing, when prior to the government involvement in the 60's the disparity seemed to be decreasing even in spite of a totally racist society.

You can almost guarantee that any bill passed by Congress is going to have the exact opposite effect of its intention.

>>35755249
right because people make such good choices now
what you're implying would work for maybe 5% of those people, the rest would continue to be just as fucking stupid except they'd have an even douchier sense of fake american "freeedom" and they'd probably have more guns and to accidentally shoot their childern/family members with because they're stupid and can't responsible in any way and no one would make them pay taxes to deal with the problems they cause for everyone else with their living

>>35755305

Let dumb people be dumb. Don't waste trillions of dollars trying to save people from themselves.

>>35755154
good on that fatty, workin hard to lose weight. hope that tubbo stuck/sticks with it

All we can realistically do is educate. Anything beyond that, and we risk becoming even more of a thought-police nanny state than we already have.

We should be free to choose for ourselves to drink/not drink that soda. And if enough of us choose to not drink it (i.e. vote with our dollars) then maybe it will go away on its own, no legislation required.

>>35755236
Middle class is just as obese and rich fags are also very obese even if their ratio is lower.
Stop taking out of your ass, people aren't fat because they are poor.

>>35755313

All of our government intervention into these issues have only exacerbated them exponentially. If people want to be stupid and make stupid decisions, let them. If you don't have a government program subsidizes the morons that get fat and collect welfare because they can't work, then there is a hell of a lot less incentive to do that.

If people actually commit a crime (like shooting they're own family members), then hold them accountable, but stop trying to save people from themselves, you can only create incentives for that behavior by doing so.

>>35755297
Yeah no.

>>35755309
>You can almost guarantee that any bill passed by Congress is going to have the exact opposite effect of its intention.

This. It's like people still don't get that the name of a bill (e.g. the "Affordable Care Act") and what the bill actually does in reality are two completely different things.

>>35755348
Middle class fags are stuck in the same precarious situation as the poor and have to drive 30 miles through traffic to get to a proper grocery store.

>rich fags are also very obese even if their ratio is lower
Prove it

>>35755348

So, who decides what the "correct" weight is for the average person? Also, how is this tax enforced without spending billions of dollars going around weighing people?

>>35755154
Internment camps

>>35755281
These are pretty reasonable, but I'm gonna add my own:

Get rid of corn (maybe even all grain) subsidies and put those subsidies into fruit and vegetables instead. Get more grocery stores in poor areas.

Declare that obese and overweight (to a certain degree) people can't apply to get government benefits. People who are already obese and on government benefits have a year and a half to lose the weight (with some sort of educational program included) or they're on their own. This includes things like medicaid. It's not the government's job to solve your self inflicted diseases.

Get rid of "disability" benefits for the obese and overweight. This includes handicap parking permits and the scooters in stores that are meant for people who are actually unable to walk.

You'll see none of these actually really help people choose to stop being fat, but rather punishes them for it. Punishment and discomfort is usually a much better solution than positive reinforcement on a national scale. We currently make being fat a very easy decision when it should be a painful, uncomfortable one. But good luck getting through the legalized corruption in Congress to do ANYTHING close to what needs to be done.

>>35755348
>rich fags are also very obese

want to know how i know you're poor?

>>35755379

You must be new.

>>35755321
>People have shit education

>idiots like you still insist it's their fault

You gotta address reality if you ever want to solve societal issues, breh.

/fit/pol/x/ crossover thread engaged.

Do you think it's possible it's some sort of conspiracy? Do you suppose our government WANTS us all to get fat, and think that's totally normal/acceptable, so that we literally become physically incapable of revolting when they do eventually overturn the Second Amendment followed quickly by the First Amendment?

>>35755399

Why do you think people continue to have a shit education despite decades of government subsidized public education? Do you think government is going to fix that problem?

>>35755395

I'm aware of BMI and you didn't answer my second question. So, are you going to tax body builders?

I do agree though that airlines should charge based on weight. You should stand on a scale, with your bags, and you pay by the pound.

>>35755236
Obesity is merely correlated with poverty. I'd say both have a common cause: Lack of education and stupidity.

>>35755199
Nice try, Rand. Go back to irrelevance.

Nothing you can do is going to motivate people to eat healthy and workout unless you're standing there with each individual prodding them with a stun gun. Pain motivates people far more than fear. You could threaten a fatty with a tax, and they'll just sit there ignoring the problem. Time will pass, and pressure will build, but the fatty will just start eating more as they get stressed out instead of trying to lose weight to avoid the tax. So flat out taxing fat people wouldn't work, and besides some of the fattest people in America have literally 0 taxable income, and are living off of welfare.

Step 1.) Restructure the EBT/food stamp program so you cannot purchase sod, cookies, or anything else shitty.
Step 2.) Tax the companies producing the product rather than the end users of the product. You're putting pressure on a far smaller group of people who hold a lot more money. Its possible to tax markets straight out of existence.
Step 3.) Get rid of the fuck stupid food pyramid and teach every single child in America about macro and micro nutrients. Drill it into their heads starting in 1st grade. They can continue learning about it every single year, and pair it with sex ed. Also sex ed should be mandatory everywhere.
Step 4.) End corn subsidies to make HFCS more expensive than regular cane sugar or beet sugar.
Step 5.) Allow employers to institute employee health benefit programs without fatty-fat fats claiming its discrimination
Step 6.) And this is where it really gets good, it seems costly, but it would pay off in the end. The government would match your employer's 401K contributions for every month you lose weight from a point where a doctor certifies you as obese until you reach a healthy weight.


Problem fucking solved.

>>35755416
I don't think it's necessarily their ultimate goal, but rather a convenient side effect of their real goal: money. Almost everything modern Congress does is because they're paid by one group or another to do it.

Besides, the first amendment is already a shadow of what it was, and has been since the Alien and Sedition acts. I doubt most people would notice a difference since so few truly ever say anything incendiary and revolutionary in life.

>>35755418
That's a really complex issue that would be hard to address while typing on my phone, but I'm sure you're already aware of the complexity and are just being difficult. An issue being hard to solve doesn't mean you can't solve it, and your method of saying "fuck it" isn't a solution either.

>>35755321
I don't give a shit about them. I give a shit about me. I want to pay taxes for my future healthcare and emergency response needs, as well as developing infrastructure and subsidizing education for ME and my descendants. If you wanna make a bomb shelter in your backyard to hide your money and play cowboys and indians with your disaster/communist-proof redneck militia buddies that's cool, but I value the ability of a state that I live in and have to make concessions re. law and order to at least being able to help its citizens when shit happens. And that requires taxes, and then the subsequent spending of those taxes. If you're upset that the fatties are taking an inappropriately large % of that tax expenditure, then maybe you should consider voting for education and tax reform that targets the fatties.

>>35755416
The government is too bloated and bureaucratic to be that conspiratorial, despite what the Internet says.

But it's completely obvious and not even a secret that food producers--especially sweet makers--want people to be fat. More money for them. The invisible hand is actually what's cramming twinkies and sodas down everyone's throat.

Remember when I was little a FAT person was around 230 lbs, 10 yrs later a FAT person is 300 lbs, now a FAT person is 350 lbs.

It was rare to see a person over 300 lbs 20 yrs ago, now I see 20-30 a day.

Why is it so acceptable?

Nobody is sincerely in the dark about their size (except maybe nigresses, they seem to think that being 300lbs is good). If fatties want to lose weight they can figure out how to do it for free. Spending money to remind fat people that they're fat won't do shit.

Only fatties make this kinda weird ass claim, "genetics", "culture", " opression by the gubmint". Notice how the problem is always without and never within? The average person is weak and unmotivated, plain and simple. The only reason for people having decent weight before was food scarcity.

Part of the problem is that, in general, people have a very poor understanding of nutrition and how dieting actually works. This is clearly evident by how there's a news story every so often about how a guy lost weight eating McDonalds. Some people simply do not understand that its calories in versus calories out.

So probably educating younger people that shoving donuts down their throats is a bad idea and they should really get rid of the the food pyramid because its just such a fucking bad idea.

Another problem that is evident is that people don't like to struggle and the idea of having to go through hunger is not a fun one. I think it stems from the fact that people always want to feel pleasure in this day and age.

>>35755199
Getting the government out of everything would mean, in this case, stopping giving benefits to fats, stopping protecting them from being fired for being fat/unfit to work as a normal person does.

The problem America has is being too nice. While giving benefits to mentally/physically disabled people is a good thing (when they can neither be held responsible for their condition nor change it), they should have never been extended to include fats, because those could change.

>>35756505
People who buy and prepare food for the super obese should be criminally charged. All those 600lb people who can't do anything for themselves, but still gain weight? Someone in that situation is a damn criminal. People who feed their children into obesity should be criminally charged too.
Fats are always surrounded by fat enablers.

>>35755154
You really want an answer? By properly adjusting portion sizes and reducing the sugar content of all of our foods.

>>35755281
Good shit.

>>35755384
Both of these are good. Especially the disability thing. My mothers disabled with severe nerve damage and neck damage to the point where she literally can't lift anything more than 10lbs yet she still walks everywhere and eats healthy, these fat fucks have no excuse and shouldn't be allowed to park closer to stores and in fact should be forced to park farther away so their fat asses have to actually walk to get the food they need.

As you said before though, Congress won't do fuck all about this issue though, they're in the pockets of businesses and especially the food industry. Anything that changes the status quo and potentially reduces profits isn't going to survive.

Our government needs real reformation, and a new president isn't going to do jack shit if Congress is the problem. Say what you will about Obama but his wife has done good with promoting health. Man, I love America at times but this nation really is going down the shitter.

>>35755154

Nuke the USA.

>>35756543
We're a nation where our own fucking government enables fats. It's going to be difficult getting any sort of legislation that punishes enablers when the ones making the legislation are enablers themselves.

Its really amazing how the food industry convinced people that they are too poor to lose weight. They seriously led everyone to believe it costs more to eat less without even questioning it.

>>35756467
B-But calories in versus calories out is a myth! Some people naturally gain fat even when on a deficit!

>>35756905
The food industry and diet industry work well together. The food industry fattens them up and the diet industry makes it big when they try (and inevitably fail) to lose weight. Don't expect this trend to change anytime soon since neither industry wants the profits to stop coming in.

>>35755154
It's too fucking late, they've organized advocacy groups and they'd rather throw massive bitch fits than accept that being fat is not ok.

You probably could torrent it. In the end, it's not much different from most other circuit training/HIIT/booot camp regimens. The reason it's good, is because they also taught proper diet, and encouraged competitiveness.

The colour of the shorts denoted how good you were, akin to coloured belts in martial arts I guess.

>Students moved through the program based on a color scale: white shorts were for rookies, while red, blue, purple, and gold signaled serious ability. White shorts had to do a minimum of six pull-ups. Today, a Marine can pass a physical doing only three. Most boys, Orchard says, got to at least red. Getting to blue was a big deal; gold athletes were “crazy impressive.” Those who wanted a rare Navy Blue rank had to do 34 pull-ups and carry someone on their back for five miles. Only 19 students in the history of the school ever earned one.

Obese people who make no effort to change their lifestyle need to be gassed in nazi style concentration camps.

That was the most badass fucking thing I've ever seen on this site.

This should be implemented all over North America.

Put warning labels on sodas, kinda like the warning labels on cigs.
"WARNING THIS WILL MAKE YOU FAT, MAY CAUSE DIABETES, DO NOT GIVE TO CHILDREN"

We need to make a point to fat people that it's only a matter of time till they die, and the only reason they aren't dead yet is sheer luck.


Because of this i feel the government should make a mandatory lottery of people with a body fat over 20%, these people will then be put into a lottery and every 1/1000 person in this lottery should be chosen, every week.

When this person is chosen, a government funded militia of /fit/ men will beat the shit out of them until they can't move and they're left to either die or live if they can.

Eventually no one will risk being fat.

My thought exactly. Thats a strong bitch

tax people for being unhealthy, pay people for being healthy. As much as I dislike the idea of the government being involved in peoples lives, it is. We have national health care, we share the costs wether we like it or not. Some people will feel the responsibility to their fellow man to be healthy for a strong nation, but many will not. They will need to be punished through taxes or the loss of reward

What is healthy? should be taken from a few factors, Resting heart rate, 5k time, blood pressure.

just getting rid of nationalized healthcare would be great for overall fitness.
If you paid 500% more than a regular person for health insurance, you'd have to think it through. Or then not get health insurance, die.

Either way, everybody would be better off

>>35758622
>If you paid 500% more than a regular person for health insurance, you'd have to think it through.

They will just go without health insurance nad leave the hospital with the bill. So we will all have to pay.

In the end, you will need to pay people not to drive up the cost of healthcare through being unhealthy.

Poor, isn't the issue. Rich or poor, Ignorance as to proper nutrition is the overall cause.

A large % of obese individuals just happen to be poor. The government gives irresponsible people money (welfare) and then everyone is surprised when they spend it irresponsibly. Government assistance has become a way of life as opposed to a helping hand. They need to have welfare stores where the food is provided and rationed rather than just handing out cash and watching people buy chips, soda, pizza and ice cream with the public's money.

I have.

I ate as little as possible and did zero eating out.

I think you mean stupid not poor.

Take a bunch of the food stamp and welfare money given out to poor people and convert it to credits that can only be spent at food shops run by local farmers. If the farmers only provide fruit, vegetables, meat, herbs, spices, etc. and never anything more processed than basic dairy products it would take a crazy effort for people to get fat as they'd be financially forced to eat clean.

Also the farmers would massively benefit and so would the environment due to food mileage, less overall consumption, etc. It could really be sold as an all round good thing except for the lack of dietary freedom it would force on people.

discourage driving fucking everywhere

encourage walking and bicycling places

of course this would also ential encouraging living in cities, requiring cities to stop being a binary choice between hipster playground and abject ghetto

>>35759420
These are all shit though except the first one.
2) "Good" food is too general of a category and doesn't mean much when it comes to food. I.e. food containing fat was and still is considered "bad food" because it's calorie dense, despite people reporting that it satisfies them more and consume less afterwards and it does slow down the process of digestion to make a person feel full longer. So they take foods, take all the fat out, and now that it's bland and tasteless they dump in a ton of sugar and sweeters to make the food edible again, and this is touted as "healthier and leaner" than the regular food, and this is, in the best case scenerio, the food that will be on the green shelves. So basically this is a bad idea because no one really knows what good food is.
>The worst case scenerio is Nestle will decide what the "good food" is and everyone eats shit until they're like the blobs in wall-e.

3) The daily recommended calorie intake is useless to most people, the average sedentiary american will not need 2000 calories yet it's the average. Then there's a bunch of people who need a lot more calories than that.

Basically the problem with these rely on people being too similar, when that's really not the case. The only thing that's going to help people become less obese unfortunately is education so they can apply this information in their lives, calculate their own calorie intakes, etc. What I'd like to see on a food label is mandatory % daily value for sugar, they have it mandatory for everything else except sugar thanks to the food interest groups and government enablers. Also the amount sugar should be listed right under the calories since it's arguably the most important after the calories. They hide that shit in the bottom because they know most people will never read the entire label.

The food pyramid isn't a terrible idea, it's a good way to give people an idea of what sort of food they should be eating, but it's something that is nearly useless on its own. Kids should be taught about the basics of how weight gaining works, and how losing weight works, and then be given general dietary guidelines after that point.

Allowing for a kid to become morbidly obese should also be considered neglectful, if not flat out abusive, and there should be consequences. Doctor's can have courts remove children from their parents care if the kid's being needlessly put in a situation where they're getting diseases, or not being fed enough, there's no reason why it shouldn't be the other way around.

If you're house is full of garbage you clean up your house, burn it down and live on the street. You don't solve the problems with bad governance by getting rid of government, you do it by cleaning shit up.

You know 'food deserts' are caused by fat fucks, not the other way around? Every fucking store used to sell produce where I live, but now it all is really fucking near rotten or non existent because of the following scenario:

>Be store
>notice produce isn't selling very well
>start removing produce and use shelf room for stuff that keeps better and sells well (junk food)
>junk food flies off the shelves due to fatties
>start selling less/no produce
>make more money

It's the same reason we have so many goddamn fast food joints and shitty food. People buy it, so businesses fill the demand. I don't blame any business for filling a demand to make money.

Unfortunately there's not really a solution to obesity because people don't take any personal responsibility and expect someone else to solve it for them. And now that we don't make people ashamed for being fat as we used to and have all these FA and HAES bullshit, we're effectively screwed.

I needed drugs in a bad way for a while, so I went up a few pants sizes, but when my brain chilled out (and I saw some disgusting photos of myself), I started shopping for weight neutral drugs or drugs with weight loss as a side effect. I was exercising the whole time, but when things are altering your metabolism, it was mostly to prevent things from getting worse then they would have other wise.

Get a huge tax deduction if you log what you eat everyday for the year into something like MFP. Just bringing awareness should help a lot of people. Helped me lost 60 lbs before I even had to consciously work at what I was eating. Get a bigger tax deduction for % of excess weight lost.

Like others have said, stop taking recess and physical education out of schools. With the exception of disabilities have the furthest parking spots be free to use and the closest ones be pay to use. Anything that promotes movement.

Maybe ban buying soda with foodstamps? Or other unhealthy foods.

>>35755154
Calories, and possibly macros, should be required at restaurants and take out. Very few places list it on the menu. Since places have it available on request or if you look for it but it needs to be right next to the fit on the menu. People who order these 1600 calories meals need to know what they're eating. Might encourage restaurants to be healthier too if they have to tell everyone how many calories are in each meal

Also better education, schools should be teaching basic fitness and nutrition every year. And reaching out to parents of fat kids

>>35769504
>parking
It's kind of like that in cities. I work right downtown. I usually bike but if I drive, it's $12 to park in the lot closest to work, $8 a few blocks away, and I think there's free street parking if you go like 0.75 miles out. The further you get from downtown the cheaper it is to park

Maybe even going as far as taxing companies that make shit food... after all, they only make shit food because it's cheaper to make shit food taste well, so lets stop letting them profit from what the country will have no choice but to cover for.

You're an idiot, it's not a mean but a quantitative score

You need people to take pride in their bodies, fat needs to be seen as disgusting and something you'd never want to be. People need to be motivated by themselves. Sadly the trend is going the other way.

This is just untrue. Richfags drive just as far on average as any other group. I'm in grad school right now living on a shit stipend so I'm in a poor neighborhood, and there is one decent grocery within a one mile walk and two even better ones within a 10 minute drive.

This is only relevant for food deserts. If you have access to a grocery store, then you can get the same cheap chicken/rice/beans/veggies everyone on fit gets.

Food deserts are a problem for some though. Maybe subsidize public transit for those areas, or give tax breaks to grocery stores that open there

>>35781467

>Teach people to listen to their bodies

But that's the problem. Our brains and bodies are made to be lazy, and "listening" to what our body wants us to do is exactly the opposite of what we should be teaching kids.

If anything, we should teach them that there is no easy path, only hard choices that is not what you want, but what you need.

>>35781517
I agree. The whole concept of "self discipline" is the opposite of "listening to your body". If I listened to my body, I'd never workout and I'd eat as much as I can digest, because that's what my biology wants me to do: Save as much energy as possible and store as much fat as available. Just watch how animals balloon when you give them unlimited food supplies. They also "listen to their bodies" because their instincts give them no other choice. It's part of being human to transcend this behaviour. You mainly do this by conditioning/habit.

Thankfully I live in a country where the average girth of a person hasn't gone to HAES levels of obesity yet, but the problem is rising.

>Education
People know shockingly little about nutrition, this is a global issue. It should be a mandatory part of science class. What nutrients you need, what obesity does to your body, why you need exercise etc.

Also, while we're on the issue, teach people to fucking cook. If parents knew how to make healthy food for their children, we would probably put down a lot of obesity-statistics.

I'm also for taxing the food industry and persuading them to produse low-sugar foods and food containing no saturated or transfats.

Also, teach people that loosing weight is more than a fad diet. It is a series of healthy choices, from food to exercise, for the rest of your life.

>It should be a mandatory part of science class. What nutrients you need, what obesity does to your body, why you need exercise etc.
Actually, I think you could pack that into PE classes. I always thought PE classes should have a theoretical part and a practical part. In the theoretical part you would learn about nutrition, a little anatomy and physiology, training, a healthy life style etc and in the practical part you would actually exercise.

I remember being stuck in a gym hall for three hours a week just standing around waiting for my turn at the high bar. Just standing and waiting. Then doing something for ten seconds and again waiting. It was so pointless. The time would be used so much better with some actual intense strength or endurance training.

I remember, we would be graded in something called "Cooper test" (iirc), where all we had to do was run for 12 minutes and check how far we came. I couldn't run for 12 minutes straight. Nobody ever taught me how. I simply tried to run as fast as the fast kids and then went out of breath. All the assistance I got from my teacher then was "You have to run! Don't walk!". Wow, thank you. It was just so shitty, nobody ever taught me a single fucking thing in PE classes with the exception of hating gym halls, not even the most basic things.

Just more excuses for lazy niggers. Your unemployed black ass can't walk five fucking minutes to a grocery store, yet you can sure as hell reach that mcdonalds four times a day?

>>35781733

We actually do have a theoretical part in PE here (in high school), the theory counts for about a third of the grade, and you have to pass the test to pass in PE to pass the semester. The problem is that the theroy is mostly just rules in different sports, some knowledge on muscles, but no nutrition.

I like your idea. Eating is half of what you need to do right if you want to be fit.

>>35781827

I think the anon meant that a lot of areas have stores, but they're not stocked with good quality food, just processed shit.

Make easily accessible fat food, make this food beyond bad for you. Like literally so calorie dense it's going to kill you. Fatties with no self control can't resist and eat themselves to death faster than fatty birthrates.
