[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]That’s not true that farmer’s markets, Asian supermarkets provide enough healthy choices. This is not enough.

Go to any regular supermarket. 50%-75% of the food there is processed junk infused with sugar, salt and other chemicals. Most restaurants in US serve food infused with salt, sugar, additives. Kids lunches at schools and college cafeterias food are junk.

A small bottle of Sprite has 64g of sugar. How many kids know this, you think?

They need to tax sugar and refined flour. Cookies should be very expensive. Sodas should be a luxury.

We had great success with cigarettes. We can do this.[/quote]

Why are you trying to impose your values and choices on everyone else?[/quote]

So everyone is healthy and we, as a society, don’t suffer the consequences of obesity and diseases.  [/quote]

It’s too late.  The  vast majority of folks in the country who were hospitalized or died of Covid were obese.  Instead of protecting the vulnerable - the US shut down the country and banned IPL, sports and gyms.  We all suffered the consequences of having a country with 45% of obese adults.  
The consequence - more obese people.   But nobody talks about it lest one be accused of fat shaming.  Which is is not.  The reality - a ton of money goes into dealing with health problems resulting from obesity.[/quote]

No, they haven’t died off yet. There are still a lot of them out there.

And yes! Exactly the point a lot of people on this board don’t get is that obese people will result in more obese people and we are not talking about only children. There have been studies done that if you have an overweight friend you are more likely to gain weight.[/quote]
