Pennsylvania is a shithole

You won't

America is ruled by corporations, whether they're justifying arms production with Middle Eastern conflicts, keeping pharmaceuticals artificially high with anti-competitive legislature, subsidizing corn to the extent where processed carbs are literally cheaper than dirt, or even changing what makes a "healthy" diet to maximize profit

Literally the only way to stop it is to force the average American to care about what they in their face

Do so you only can buy raw products on food stamps, so no soda and stuff, when you get on food stamp you are shown a video on the government's website on how to cook food, there will also be a video on nutrition and one on basic fitness, these videos will also be shown in school

Reintroduce the jfk challenge program, boys and girls have separate PE, more focused on conditioning, strength and also team work instead of playing dodgeball

Yes, but you're competing for a smaller pool.

education

That's the solution to fucking everything. Drugs, Obesity, Teen Pregnancy, Drunk Driving, Crime, you can keep naming them. There's a cult of ignorance in the US, and even if you have to make kids miserably sit through class after class of Home Ec, and Sex Ed, that shit fucking works.

>>41604753
You wouldn't believe the weird looks I get when I tell people you could solve most problems by making people smarter/teaching them how to think. So many people try to solve symptoms of an underlying problem (harsher punishments for crime, banning sex education, etc) when really you just need to not be so much of a dumbass that you can actually consider your actions and their repercussions.

>>41604753
I'd disagree that you can solve such problems by education.
I used to hang out with the 'punks' or whatever during high school, we were all losers, junkies, most of the girls got pregnant before 20, and we knew that we were fucking our lives up, we just didn't care, due to various reasons.

Most people know being obese is awful, that texting and driving can get you killed, and all that, but they do it anyway.

this 100%!

but don't stop there. we really need to after the snackfood companies HARD. like we have with the tobacco industry. shit foods need to be publically demonized and the snackfood companies need to be paying for the ads that denounce them. tax the people profiting off of the obesity epidemic.

and part of the education program needs to be focused on why being fat is such a problem. this "fat acceptance" thing needs to die.

A 2 liter of coke costs like 99 cents at wally world. Think of how many calories that is and how little money that is. We have absurdly calorically dense and sugar dense foods for very little money. Normies know nothing about nutrition so before we even talk about things like macros we have to cut out all the beer, sugar, soda, and other nonsensical """"food"""".

>>41604479
The Republican healthcare plan seems to be a thinly-veiled eugenics system so I guess the free market will fix it.

Make junk food a little more expensive and make them into more suitable portion size (Takeaways) people just eat takeaway everyday because its cheaper than cooking the same thing and instant. Also a lot of food with shit tons of calories for cheap. Also not a lot of people educated to proper portions and over eat (Even if healthy or not). That's my take anyways.

>>41604874
I usually hate the 'I can buy 5 meals at Mcdonalds or two eggs and a piece of broccoli for 20$' type posts but I do have to agree that it's weird that soda costs less than plain bottled water even from the same company.

Either they use shit water for the soda, or I don't know what.

I was in DC last week, and I went to all the big touristy monuments.

It was frankly depressing how fat the preteens on these school trips were. It was more unsightly than the fashion sense of the old Chinese tourists, and that's saying something

Philly's new soda tax is going really well and deterring a lot of people from buying sugary drinks. It's a step in the right direction for curbing the obesity epidemic.

You can't convince people to change their diets unless you force warning labels on boxes like they do with cigarettes, which will never happen because the food industry is the largest industry in the world.

That being said, one of the primary reasons Americans are so obese really starts in schools. The government doesn't actually fund school lunches. Schools receive their funding and food from all of the major food industry players that own Coca Cola and McDonald's, which is why there are literally fast food restaurants in schools. That shit is being fed to our children to get them fat and addicted early. It's even worse when the parents are also fat and addicted to garbage, so the kids of course have no sense of self control because their parents don't have any to teach them.

>>41604479
> americans
> niggers and spics
> pick one or the other
Seriously the obeastity problem is highest with niggers and spic. I guess the deportations will fix much of the "epidemic" among "americans" and if we enforce work for welfare and cut down on ebt fraud, the negresses will get skinnier.

1. Education in school (nutritional and cooking classes are mandatory subjects).
2. Measuring kids' waistlines in schools until age 18, fining the parents for excessive fat. (Can opt for neck/caliper test like in the military).
3. Actual military style PE in school (running, jumping, bearcrawls, etc.)
4. Bring back recess (because it's healthy to just chill every once and a while)
5. Nutritional and exercise booklets given to all adults in the mail (if only SOME people follow it, things will improve)
6. Confront the food companies head on and challenge them like was done against big tobacco.
7. In general, take a "Greek" approach to life, that everyone should be both physically fit and well-read.

This would probably take a legit dictator to enact, but whatever.

>4. Bring back recess

Do amerilards really don't have this? For what purpose?

>>41606134
It's not gone, just dying.

Most states went from laws requiring recess, to not requiring it. So SJWs in local school boards started banning it since it "promotes bullying" and "breaks of physical activity are only beneficial to boys... SEXISM!".

It sucks, but recess in America is on it's way out.

I'm getting old at 27 - schools really stopped having recess?

No wonder kids are getting diagnosed with ADD and autism left and right - PE and recess were the main places for me to get rid of my excess kid energy. We're no different from dogs - don't exercise them at all and you're gonna get problems.

I was going to say educate the kids better.

Then I remembered that the schools have fast food outlets in them. So basically they're screwed.
