American obesity rate hits new high

[lartinos]

Maybe a weight tax? I dunno.

No new taxes!

Lol what about the heavy weights who are in good shape

lmao...actually, I was thinking more of a BF% tax...vs a pure weight or BMI tax...

On the one hand, there will be a short term windfall. Other the other hand, there'll always be a way to screw the system.

lmao, but we'll cut all medicaid and foreign troops! Think of the savings!

The question that would solve everything, is how to fix people from getting fat?

I always thought that fat people are fat because they are mentally ill in some way. I can't imagine being OK with being fat, and I think it reflects either depression or some other emotional incapability of loving oneself enough to want to be healthy and live a healthy life. I did all my self-destructive behaviour when I thought I wasn't deserving enough to be healthy and happy. maybe it's the same for them.
No one can be happy with being fat. I'm not saying you can't be ten pounds overweight and happy, but I am saying you cannot be grossly obese/obviously a total porker and be cool with that.
It's pretty fashionable these days to say "Real women have curves"- and this is true up to a point, but there is no sense telling someone they look good when they are literally feeding their own self-destruction.

Yeah, I know shocking. People aren't going to get skinnier either. People would rather eat what they want and be fat.

I honestly don't think that it is that people want to eat what they want and end up fat.

I think that a majority of it is either pure laziness, inability to cook, or just lack of time.

With this lovely economy many are forced to work extra hours if not two jobs just to make ends meet. There is little time left at the end of the day to sit back and prepare a meal. Not to mention the fact that many people are lazy and ignorant and have no idea how to cook. Seriously, I do not know how to cook, let alone how to prepare a meal. I mean I know basics, but nothing more.

People do not like being fat. however once they hit that point there is no turning back. They just blow up like a balloon and feel as though nothing that they can do will help.

put tax on the fatty, addictive foods

in the west we have the ridiculous situation whereby good natural food costs more, and unhealthy addictive trash food is cheap

If I was king I'd give everyone power chews, pes erase/shift and instruction on eating chicken/salads all day and having a caloric deficit every day.

I bet I could save this country billions. Bakemeacookie for King 2012. I expect donations from everyone.
