Self inflicted obesity (where you made yourself fat) is usually due to overcompensating to something else in life

better parenting techniques?

Surely on that basis bringing up fat shaming in the first place is a bit pointless as the problem you seem to have identified is more with the already existing high obesity rate, not really the threat of it getting worse

Also the taxing obese people idea is a really awful one bro, are you really saying the state should potentially make people destitute because of their weight?

I get why you might think this would help, but I don’t think it would. Arguably you’d run the risk of creating a new public health crisis due to the inevitable market for all manner of dodgy weight loss treatments/supplements etc that would spring up to take advantage of people desperate to lose the weight and avoid punishment

that definitely is a tax on tall people also tho

Would be nice to fix both. Stop people from becoming obese and cure those who already are.

If I had to pick one I’d pick stop people from becoming obese. Better for our future.

he's not the most consistent thinker.

"The results were based on a survey, rather than experimental data, so you can't make conclusions about whether the fat-shaming actually caused the weight gain" nice study brah

Bruh I haven’t laughed this hard in months

but honestly food education. even p.e classes don't teach people about caloric deficits and maintenance

its all just calories in and out

The solution: eat real food and quit eating processed foods / sugar

The problem: majority of Americans cannot afford healthy diets. Also: capitalism

there are other studies about the topic of fat shaming but for sure bro

what is healthy food? and lots of essential carbs and proteins and viatims (chicken, rice, oatmeal, nuts and oils, fruits and vegetables) are fairly cheap and accessible

Who determines what is healthy or not?

Diet is still not fully understood and most dietary guidance is subjective

yes dietary advice isn't generalized and changes from person to person. What is objective is how many calories certain foods have and what nutrients they give you. If you are trying to lose weight eat low calorie foods and burn calories. caloric surplus/ deficits is the only way we can administer weight change programs and it works for a large majority of people. but what is considered healthy depends on what the person is trying to do

It'll read height too

By celebrating Adeles weight loss

It’s a mental and physical health education issue. In a lot of schools in the US the health and social science departments are an afterthought (It’s not something that’s tested on the state and national level). Knowledge in this field is something that is important in childhood and adulthood, yet the job of teaching it usually goes to someone who is under-qualified or from another department entirely.

These problems are not addressed and we end up with health classes teaching outdated or in some places flat out wrong information. That produces a whole crop of people that are completely clueless about their own health.

JUST PUT DOWN THE FORK

DAMN

I did this. S*** was lit

I tried to make myself fat like Chief Keef when he had a gut.

America doesn’t have wet markets

Better Food Education.
