> Saying something and doing something are 2 different things

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.

> I'm arguing against policy being the only solution and you took that to mean something else

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?
