[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, health and wellness isn't that popular. It takes work-- healthy eating habits, working out etc. Body positivity + drugs to control things like diabetes pays better. No one makes any money off healthy people.  Of course politicians don't want to tell everyone to take care of themselves. Their whole appeal is that they claim they can fix problems.  [/quote]

Let's be 100% clear that ONLY ONE party actively reviled any attempt at trying to get people to eat more healthy foods: The GOP.  They viciously attacked Michele Obama for trying to get healthier school lunches and defiantly promoted things like guzzling massive quantities of high fructose corn syrup ly aaden Big Gulp sodas.

Let's also be 100% clear that the GOP is also the only party that has no problem with bankrupting Americans if they have a health emergency, or to leave them out in the cold if they can't afford insurance or healthcare.[/quote]

You can't legislate health. While life is risky, there's really only one person who can make the odds in your favor, and that's you. Government intervention in this area has only resulted in more obesity and illness. People do *not* like to hear this. But the only person who can make you healthy is you.

Did the GOP make the Big Gulp a thing? Yes. I don't know why, but they did. Does the Democratic Party have a large contingent that espouses "healthy at all sizes" thinking? Yes, they do. I don't know how much clearer it can be that politicians want you to be fat, sad, gender confused, and seeking help from Big Pharma. [/quote]

Doesn’t Europe have much more regulation on food and drugs? People there aren’t fat like they are here. I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss the government’s role in this. [/quote]
