I can see a day when you are issued a card with this data that you have to use at the supermarket like they do at Safeway. If your BMI number is too high, you can’t buy fattening foods and some kind of siren goes off as you try to ring them up at the check-stand. It CAN happen. The technology is in place now.
We may end up seeing an underground economy BIGTIME.
The government will define "fattening", and the list will include wholesome real food... what humans have eaten since forever, such as beef, eggs, and butter and gasp, salt.
What will be approved will be a cornucopia of frankenfoods (processed with frankenfats not that evil animal fat), "healthy" whole grains that not only invite inflammation and other woes, they are nutritionally bankrupt compared to their calorie density (mind your portions, fatsos!). And of course you may choose from a wide assortment of low-fat this and that containing plenty of sugar, all manner of chemical cr@pola and insulin-spiking carbohydrates in order to ensure a steady supply of obese, sick patients in desperate demand for Obamacare.
All hail Pharoah FUBO.
Right! And instead of 17-year old kids trying to convince somebody to buy them a six-pack, we’ll see fatties hanging outside of supermarkets trying to convince some 17-year old to buy them a quart of ice cream. How the worm will have turned. But it will afford a great business opportunity for skinny unemployed teens to start personal shopping services.
