You can’t decide to be taller and start growing.

You can decide what you put in to your body. It just takes work and discipline.

How effective is telling people that? In what way is it different than what we've been telling people for decades? When would you estimate it will start being effective to tell people to put in the work and discipline? How many more decades?

Or maybe we should do something that works in reality for real groups of people.

For people with addiction problems, they can't. Addicts have this problem where they can't. They're sitting there thinking don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, and then what happens is they go and do the thing. They're unable to do that work and discipline because they are not tall enough.
Everything we know about obesity shows that your opinion is completely wrong.
