> When you are fat, the thing everyone will tell you is "eat healthier and move more" > That has been our approach to the obesity epidemic since the beginning. And it's not working. If you don't actually move more and eat healthier, yeah it won't work. Saying something and doing something are 2 different things. Anyone that does it will lose weight and be healthier. There's really no getting around it. > If you legitimately think culture, economy, and physical environment has nothing to do with policy. I never said "nothing" to do with policy. Read my comments again. I'm arguing against policy being the only solution and you took that to mean something else. Culture and personal responsibility have a role in health. Next! |

Exactly, it looks like it's clicking for you. Just telling people to move more doesn't work. I'm glad we've finally come to agreement on something that is an obvious reality.

And additional solutions include...? Oh, fuck all? Because, as a reminder, you haven't actually proposed anything. You've just been talking out of your ass and saying things that directly contradict with reality.
Yes, it would be nice if we could just say "eat less" and magically solve everything. That is about the level of problem solving I'd expect from a 5 year old, so at least you've gotten there.
But dig deeper. Think critically. Do you think if I stood on the street corner and held a sign that said "dope is bad" addiction would go away? Now what if I employed policies to limit the amount of opiates distributed?
What sounds more feasible to you? Employing policies that help people lose weight? Or collectively brainwashing billions of people globally so they lose the weight themselves? Are you seeing how one is an actual solution, and the other is the dreams of a child?
