I don't disagree with that.

mmmm...bacon.:homer:

So what is your solution?

If the average fat American was visited by a representative from a government-sponsored weight loss program, and encouraged to register and participate, I bet there would be fewer fat Americans.

But maybe I have my head way up my ass and America is hopelessly fat.

Here's a thought: currently the weight loss and exercise industry is thriving. Some people don't want to spend the money they feel they have to in order to lose weight. What if the government made it a lot cheaper for them?
There will be fewer fat Americans when things have less toxins in the food... and less High Fructose Corn Syrup... and less aspartame... and less shit.

But, the theory behind this is good... but I think the execution of this will be greatly flawed.

My solution is to stay out of people's personal business.

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

We're responsible for our own decisions in this world and the ramifications of said decisions.

Tell the government to stop subsidizing fat people and if they die of heart disease, well they probably enjoyed their 50 years of eating whatever the **** they wanted.

In either event - it was their choice and it didn't involve my money or my Congressman's time.

I know the concept of reaping what you sow died in the 1950s, but it really does have some merit.

Lets use the data that has no bearing on health, as a determining factor for your health.

Pretty much both of these.

That would require overbearing regulation of the food industry.

Ultimately it's up to the individual. All the government can do is encourage people and make it easier for them.

My favorite foods are cholesterol and saturated fat.

Sprinkle on a little sodium nitrate and tabasco and I'm all set!

Too bad BMI means nothing.

Attention: All fat people to the back of the bus.

All the government can do is STFU and let people take responsibility for their own lives.

The Federal Government is not your damn kindergarden teacher, it isn't your mother. It isn't designed to hold your hand and steer you along the proper path in life.

I just don't understand what is difficult about this concept.

Some people can't survive without the government's help.
