It only seems to strike overeaters!
Cut off the Food Stamps. Rarely do I see a skinny person using them and then the cart of full of junk food.
Will they too be required to do something about this to remain unemployed? Will they have to show a weight, bmi and cholesterol card?
Our biggest problem is looking and finding problems that society/the collective/government must solve. Some people are fat. If they aren’t you or your circle, it’s not your business. All the “problems” that we are constantly being presented by media, academia or politicos are actually just life and folks need to get on with it.
Personally, I do care about what I put in my mouth from a nutritional standpoint, and I don’t have a lot of bad habits, like snacking between meals.
My spouse and I split dinners at restaurants, not because we’re cheap, but because they serve too damn much food per order. After asking for take-home boxes nearly every time we dined out, we finally wised up.
I don’t make it a practice to watch people eat, but I’m pretty confident there are a lot of relatively thin people that have no problem scarfing down the aforementioned huge restaurant meals. Seemingly, with no consequences.
It’s my guess that genetics play a major role. And age, certainly.
So, the assertion that every overweight person is just a glutton that needs to exercise a little restraint at the dinner table is a bit simplistic, IMHO.
GAAACK! Eat as you want, when you enter the winter of your life! Never understood wanting to extend your life a couple years with all that “suffering”!
eating with one fork instead of 2 would be pretty easy way to avoid obesity.
Cut your food intake in HALF, and you’ll do just fine, fatsos.
Anybody around old enough to remember the Kennedy Administration physical fitness push?

It is just a matter of time before the “health” and “science” gang starts going after the obese.
—No obese allowed in hospitals
—No obese allowed in public places
—No obese can be hired by government agencies and government contractors
They are not gonna stop...
Thin people are soooo self righteous.
Just stop stuffing your face and exercise.
Yeah.
So eating a controlled diet of 1500 calories, a job that requires me to be active and on my feet 8+ hours a day and going to the gym 4 days a week should lead to weight loss. But it doesn’t.
Resting heart rate of 40. BP of 115 over 70.
I am walking proof of depressed metabolism, but it seems my insurance won’t pay for an endocrinologist that specializes in metabolic issues.
So, eat less and exercise? GFY
That’s right, they’ll say “when I see an obese person, it makes me want to eat more..” to “prove” it harms others.
