>needed to fight obesity
All what's needed is parents to be parents again and actually control their kids.

I noticed it happen to my younger brothers. When I grew up I was ruthlessly told what I could and couldn't have and punished for stepping out of line. My brothers would get a "I can't force him to eat something he doesn't like..." YES YOU CAN.

sounds like a good idea

>>8359738

>>8359755
I kind of agree, but I remember buying junk at school without my parents' supervision. Kids do things on their own.

Hahahahaha.

You think mascots cause obesity?

Are you stupid?

Japan is the homeland of mascots, everything has a mascot, and everyone is obsessed with mascots, and most of their population are skinny as fuck.

Stop blaming you and your kid's problems on everything but yourself and their parents. Take hold of your life by the neck and force yourself to be better. Removing a cartoon tiger isn't going to get rid of your body's cravings for sugar coated corn, only you can do that, through your own willpower.

>>8359760
That's fine, kids are supposed to push boundaries it's how they learn. As long as the rest of the time they are kept in check.

>>8359738
The real problem is they have to fight poverty and retardation.

>>8359767

Obesity was increasing in Japan, so they made the entire population get weighed and shamed the fatties and told them to lose weight. With companies and local government getting penalties if they had too many fatties.

>>8359805
>A newly released Centers for Disease Control report of a study conducted at Stanford has examined the effects of San Francisco’s 2010 “Happy Meal ban.” The ban prohibited the free distribution of toys with unhealthy meals; the fast-food restaurants McDonald’s and Burger King instead sold the toys for 10 cents. Though neither restaurant complied with the ordinance’s specific calls for changes in nutritional content, improvements have been made.

>…over the study’s two-year period, McDonald’s in particular made big changes to its Happy Meals, said [Jennifer Otten, MD,] of the University of Washington School of Public Health — first in California, then nationally.

>The fast food giant cut the amount of French fries it serves in Happy Meals in half, replacing them with apples; stopped serving caramel sauce with apples; and began offering nonfat chocolate milk to customers. Otten said those substitutions were “pretty dramatic,” — they reduced the calories in a Happy Meal by 110, and cut the sodium and fat content of the meal as well.

>Otten and her colleagues, including senior author Abby King, PhD, concluded in the study, “Although the changes… did not appear to be directly in response to the ordinance, the transition to a more healthful beverage and default side dish was consistent with the intent of the ordinance. Study results… suggest that public policies may contribute to positive restaurant changes.”

over eating carbs is what makes you fat not fat dumdass

>>8359789
I know you were trying to be funny and troll, but the fat shaming thing is a real thing and it works very well.

Japanese kids are some of the most massive assholes on the planet and they are never disciplined until they near high school, so they completely rail on fatties through youth.

Once in adulthood, pretty much the only fat people you see on tv are comedians who pretty much have to make fat jokes about themselves. This is especially true of female comedians. Its also socially acceptable for anyone that is more than just a passing acquaintance to constantly ask you about your weight gain if they even notice a slight increase in size, until you slim down. If they are family members they can be as mean as the school children

>>8359813
Actually, overeating either or both makes you fat. Hope that helps, buddy.

Fattier foods don't make you obese. I am not sure if it is still the case, but years ago the French had a much fattier diet than Americans yet their obesity rate was much lower than Americans.

The distinction is whether or not it's the fat in the food or fat in your body. Two separate things. The "point" anon was trying to make was:

Carbs turn to fat in your body very easy.
Fat you consume doesn't turn into fat in your body as easily.

Larger animals tend to have sedentary lifestyles to conserve energy with spurts of energy expenditure. Before the 16 hour work days where you only got Sunday off during the Industrial Revolution, the fields of antiquity were fallow many months in the year and people lived mostly low energy lifestyles. Only during parts of the growing season did they have anything close to the vigorous lifestyles modern people think man had in past eras.

And voting for laws removing mascots is one of the ways parents are actually controlling their kids.

>>8359902

It's a really poor way to achieve that goal though, and it certainly doesn't teach their kids anything.

That garbage in OP image has 30g carbs per serving, some up to 50. Most kids I have seen don't measure out a serving but rather dump some into a bowl then bathe it with cow pus. Probably eating a days worth of a healthy carb intake in a single 'meal'. They then go on to slam multiple soft drinks a day.

Obviously eating too much of anything with make you gain mass but these products in the USA may be marketed as FAT FREE! but that doesn't inherently make it healthy.

Except the same can be applied to protein, fats and alcohols. It's called gluconeugenesis. If energy is needed, energy is used; if it is not needed, it is stored. This occurs for all macronutrients.

See, this is how you can generate adipose from fatty acids. The fact is, for all macronutrients, you can utilize them to immediately fulfill energy needs but if you cannot, they must be circulated or stored as lipids or glycogen. Fats, carbs, alcohols, protein.

Cartoon characters aren't the reason fat kids love high-carb high-sugar cereals, this is a bunch of do-nothing feel-good nonsense that allows the problem to continue by subverting time, money, and energy away from methods that would actually have an impact and put responsibility back on the parents even if it hurts their feelings.

If I was a tinfoil hat wearing maniac, and I am, I would theorize that maybe this is the result of lobbyists working for various cereal companies in an attempt to obfuscate so that willfully ignorant parents continue to buy their sugary cereals in large quantities.

>>8359738
I mean let's be real here. Part of the reason why we as children bought those cereals was because of the faggot ass animals/mascots. My dad insisted I should get the generic Walmart brand which objectively was very similar but I just wanted the damn cartoon characters on my cereal box.

Kek, far from it.

How is a parent voting to get rid of Toucan Sam controlling their kids more than the parents just telling the kid "No I'm not buying you Fruit Loops"

The cartoon character might make the kid want the cereal more but they still can't obtain it without the parent's help so no matter how you look at it it comes down to the parent being shit and weak-willed

I guess we'll have to wait for statistics and studies to come out a few years down the road and see if these anti-mascot laws actually do much but I don't feel like this is going to be an effective way to stop obesity, the shit parents are way more of a problem than cartoon characters on boxes

the body just doesn't assimilate fat that well. this is why eating fast food make your shit float, and why a common constipation cure is 2 spoonful of oil. The hardcap on fat is really low in the end, especially compared to sugar at the same calorie value.

>>8359738
seems legit but I think this is dumb as fuck.
all the cereals left are still as bad as the ones they removed.

dumb cunts this isn't going to stop obesity.

make it mandatory for fat cunts to lose weight would fight obesity.

holla at cha boi.

>>8359738
That's a bandaid solution, not an actual fix. Fat people are just going to buy the next cheapest downgrade.

Teach your country some fucking responsibility and stop giving so many shits about peoples feelings. Do what we are trying to do over here in Cally-if you're kid is over a certain weight and doesn't have some problem like asthma or a heart condition, you are gonna get CPS on your ass.

That's nice and all but did that help in making kids less fat? Anybody can reduce calories in servings but if it didn't seem to stop, stem, or curb obesity then it did jack fucking shit.

>>8359902
Legislative solution to a social problem.

>>8359738
Do you retards not understand the reason for obesity? No, it isn't Tony the Tiger's fault your kid is fat. If you're a parent, it's your fault. Parenting today consists of buying a kid McDonald's and handing them an iPad until they shut up. Make your kids eat healthy and teach them about good food versus bad food. Don't be an asshole and tell them to never touch sugar ever, that'll just make them want it more. Be a responsible parent, and your kid will be at a healthy weight. Banning cereal mascots isn't going to fight obesity. Banning anything isn't going to fight obesity. Quit relying on your government and school systems to play mommy and daddy for you.

>>8359865
Yes they are, over eating anything will make you fat, not just carbohydrates.

It's stupid because kids aren't the ones buying them to begin with, it's parents doing that actual paying.

It's REALLY HARD to get people to do that. There's just too many fuckheaded parents around. You're never going to get them all to care.

Enjoy your demographic collapse you sexless fucks.

Christ, I can't believe the amount of idiocy in this thread. Can you retards truly not grasp anything beyond your memes and buzzwords?

Okay, imagine you're the head of a country facing an obesity epidemic. What do you do?

a. Nothing.

b. Use educational and social measures to discourage people from overeating, etc. (For the record, I highly doubt the removal of mascots will have much of an effect. I'm not arguing it's a very good idea.)

c. Yell at parents to be better parents. Not "teach responsibility", because you don't want a nanny state. Just straight up screaming at people to be more responsible.

The amount of retards in this thread arguing for c. makes me scared for the future.

That's not the problem. The problem is stopping kids from eating what they DO like. If little Brynleigh and Kade are eating all their broccoli and then dipping into a stash of Strawberry Shortcake Rolls in their room after, you've accomplished nothing.

>>8359738
Why are coco pops $4000?

Good idea.

Toy commercials should be banned too. All marketing targeted towards children is unethical. Anyone here who disagrees obviously doesn't have kids.

What I didn't post yet is a link to an article about it working, so here :

https://mic.com/articles/84521/japan-has-cut-obesity-to-3-5-in-a-controversial-way-that-wouldn-t-fly-in-america

"Citizens must adhere to government-mandated waistline limits or face consequences. The government has established waistline limits for adults ages 40 to 74. Men must maintain a waistline at or below 33.5 inches; for women, the limit is 35.4 inches. The "metabo law" went into effect in 2008, with the goal of reducing the country's overweight population by 25% by 2015. The government's anti-obesity campaign aims to keep "metabolic syndrome" — a number of factors that heighten the risk of developing diabetes and vascular diseases, such as obesity and high blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol levels — in check, thus minimizing the ballooning health care costs of Japan's massive aging population.

Those who stray beyond the state-mandated waistlines are required to attend counseling and support sessions. Local governments and companies that don't meet specific targets are fined, sometimes quite heavily."

Fascism, it works.

What the fuck do they expect from Santa?!?
He has to put the kids on his lap and he gets no say on their weight?

>this is needed to fight obesity.
No, what's needed to fight obesity is some self control and - if companies were going to do anything - less sugar. But less sugar in food won't happen because then people wouldn't buy as much food.

>>8366768

Well riddle me this, wise guy. HOW do you make parents take better care of their kids?

Killing advertising to children would probably make it a little bit easier.

But no, we shouldn't make it easier, they should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps and make America great again and meme meme meme, meme meme meme.

Fuck you and fuck your memes.

>>8367441
>How do you make parents take good care of their children
You don't, you give them information about it. If they want to fuck their children up its their choice

i think it is good, and advertising directed at children in general should be banned

I could get behind this, there's also the trafficlight system which is pretty good too.
Colour-coded nutritional information, as shown in the image above, tells you at a glance if the food has high, medium or low amounts of fat, saturated fat, sugars and salt.

red means high
amber means medium
green means low

>>8371065
So do I, but I feel like retards would just eat 5 servings of the 'healthy' snacks. I think part of the problem is that since Americans don't know metric and still use volumetric recipes, most serving sizes seem arbitrary

I bought some kids cereal just because of this thread, hadn't had Chocapic for years.

Also when will this law come into effect? The warning signs appeared right away, but I'm still seeing mascots on every box.
