Americans, how do we end obesity?

Eat less
First we eliminate the flyovers swiftly but humanely
Then we invite hard working Asians, Middle Easterners, and Latinos to re-populate those areas
We don't, there's too much social inertia and profitability surrounding obesity.
The only thing that might end it would be a massive shift in the socio-economic norm, like a Great Depression/Dust Bowl level event that guts industrial food production.
Dust bowl shit is the whole reason fatties exist. Generations of Americans were so scared of hunger that we oversubsidized corn to the point where we have to export most of it or turn it into biofuel otherwise the market will collapse
Catalogue what little culture the south has ever had before eliminating it with weapons that will not contaminate the north; and will hopefully dissipate over the next decade so we can exploit resources.
Then we offer further incentives for exercise and activity as diet can vary due to individual needs. Medical issues and drug effects can be considered excusable, or rather they are given additional benefits equal to those who are equal.
>meet person with doctorate

non-meme answer: improve education
And another similar sized event is what it will take to change anything.
Feel good blogs and school fitness challenges won't end obesity, only a massive external event will break up the economic and social systems that encourage obesity.
Honest answer? End easy access to welfare. Fast food joints dominate the ghettos in every city.
Or force them to follow it. Doctors need expensive lawyers to protect them from a fuckton of various lawsuits, but at the same time grow numb towards patients and expensive lawyers mean "justice" is money.
A lot of them are fuckers that have forgotten what they learned, or are arrogant enough to not put in an effort and assume they're correct.
We end America.
Obesity is more profitable health.
Fatties ain't goin anywhere till that changes.
I don't agree. People gravitate towards rote, animal-like behavior in response to crises. A food shock of any kind is just going to trigger more pathological herd-like actions which will lead to the next generation's food dysfunction.
Food security and healthy eating are pretty well correlated in this day and age. Poor fat fucks who have to wait for payday to go grocery shopping will just stuff their faces with any old garbage and literally get angry at the idea that someone might eat small courses, for instance. Meanwhile thin, rich, healthy people have room to argue over whether blueberries or papayas have more "phytonutrients"
We need another 80's fitness movement.
More like how do we end diversity
You clearly don't remember the 80's.
>blacks are fat so it's okay for whites to be fat
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Confine anyone (that includes orange cheetohs) with a BMI over 26 to a fat concentration camp until they reduce to 25 or under. If, after 6 months they haven't made it, then eliminate them. Furthermore, to pay for the concentration camps eliminate corporate welfare subsidies for HFCS and factory farmed dairy and meat, and tax the fuck out of fast food. Obesity problem solved. Next problem you want solved?
>Obesity drops past 60 years or more because most don't make it past 40-59 years old
I don't think he remembers much. The '90s and '00s were the nadir of personal fitness, the '10s on the other hand saw a surge in fitness interest in the popular consciousness
Nope, there isn't any major difference in food spending no matter the spending class.
Basically, any group that gets more money (either by income or SNAP) will buy Steaks and prepared frozen foods after initial requirements are met.
>who is jane fonda.
Also watch American Psycho who lampoons 80's fitness fads.

I didn't say "food spending", I said "food consumption"
>will buy Steaks and prepared frozen foods
That isn't true at all, class-based consumption habits and tastes are a universal thing, although the details vary per culture
Wait, are you non american?
>I didn't say "food spending"
then why are you talking about checks and income?
I can read without moving my lips, I have a passport, and my last name isn't Smith, Jones, or Göring. So, yes, as far as you're concerned, I am an illegal voter migrant foreigner who hates America and has literally never set foot here.
>that drop after 60
Can't wait for al-flyover tbqh
Waiting for payday to shop implies living paycheck to paycheck. Paycheck to paycheck implies low food security. Low income people are the most likely to be in low food security environments in country that is otherwise rich and not at war or suffering from a drought or natural disaster scenario. Obviously, there are examples where this might not be true, but in general, it is true.
does it hurt being this retarded?
>Waiting for payday to shop implies living paycheck to paycheck. Paycheck to paycheck implies low food security. Low income people are the most likely to be in low food security environments
Oh so food spending and not consumption. gotcha.
But show me a statistic on the population that lives in a food scarce neighborhood.
please don't be fatphobic
Doesn’t seem to bother your mother that much.
unironically fat shaming
do you think we stay thin because it's healthy? fucking bullshit it's because the rest of the world will troll the shit out of our miserable life until we suicide
get the bullies back on the job, that's the only way
>Oh so food spending and not consumption. gotcha.
You're not following. The thread is about obesity. user suggested that a food shock to society at large would be a solution to obesity. I disagreed on the grounds that food security is tied to bad eating habits. A food shock would be an example of reducing food security. Another example would be when cash flow affects your attitudes about future food availability. Consumption here would be driven by fear, fear is driven by financial insecurity, financial insecurity is based on the person's anticipated future spending power.
This isn't something I just pulled out of my ass. Bourdieu documented it in mid 20th century France, and the US government looks at it when doing economic analyses and planning the social safety net.
Obesity is a symptom of a greater psychological malaise that's become endemic in America, a hopelessness that's seeped into nearly every level of society. The vast majority of Americans know that an apple is healthier than a snack cake, they know soda is bad for them, they know they need to exercise, but what's the point? The predominant cultural narrative is that everything is terrible and that you're not good enough. Nothing is going to get better, so why should you?
Woah so edgy
i imagine not since she has been dead for 15 years.
>More /pol/ threads
>put Veeky Forums in charge of changing the shape of americans
>move from widespread obesity to widespread faggotry
how to fix that then?
Can you eliminate me please? I’m not a flyover. I’m a costalfag.
limit ebt to fresh produce and eggs/milk/bread with some other exceptions like canned tuna
Fatties start dropping like flies at that age, especially the turbofatties.
By being the greatest
Fat shaming. Seriously. It's disgusting and they should know it
And being a fat enabler is better? It's one thing to be a little overweight, but being obese to the point where you're developing health problems is not OK, especially since it's a huge expense when you consider the cost of healthcare. Normal weighted people in the US end up paying higher premiums for services they don't use as often because you insurance companies cannot pool obese people in "high-risk" groups anymore. Not to mention because obese people are more likely to go to the hospital or have to get checkups for their health problems means there is a loss of productivity.
Don't get me wrong, people born with congenital problems or those who have health issues not brought on by their poor decisions, I feel bad for, but I don't have much sympathy for obese people. I'm not being fatphobic, I'm just being realistic, and this is coming from someone who used to be close to being morbidly obese.
Anyways, you have groups of people who are normalizing obesity, lying about how this obesity epidemic isn't a health crisis, lying to people telling them that weight loss is unhealthy or impossible, and even guilting people into finding them attractive, going against evolutionary pressures which drives us as a species to create healthy offspring.
Obesity is disgusting and shouldn't be normalized at all.
Take all the advertisements and programs encouraging more exercise and make them about just fucking eating less. Its amazing how much more we encourage "exercising 30 minutes or more a day" compared to how little we encourage calorie counting given the efficiency of dieting versus exercise.
Oy vey, its almost like food industry lobbiests (especially sugar) WANT people to be fat and keep purchasing tons of their products.
But keep getting that gym membership, itll fix all your problems
Can you imagine the kinds of crazy shit they'd build over the barren depopulated meth fields? I bet we'd fly quite a bit lower over them just to gawk at the crazy architecture.
Plus maybe we could build coast to coast high speed rail in the immediate aftermath.

Solution
Kek
imagine being this much of a cuck
this is insane and the fact that they put bright colored stickers on to promote it is even worse
I knew all those take home and bake pizzas were EBT but at lest they don't have stickers encouraging it
That's interesting, it suggests that obese black kids actually lose the weight as they become teenagers, but then gain it back when they get older, while obese white kids keep getting fatter continuously, but at a slower rate.
The decline in obesity for the over-60s in both groups is just due to premature deaths of the obese, of course, not indicative of any weight loss.
>the whole shelf has to get cleared
I bet that meat was all stacked on the same pallet when it arrived at the store.
>the whole shelf has to get cleared
maybe removing all the moslems would be a better option
meat is cheaper than canned tuna
Are there a lot of muslims up there in CT? Last I was up there it was nothing but whitest of the whites and blackest of the blacks
Everybody eat laundry pods!
They will never do this because companies like Coca Cola make a significant amount of money from EBT spending on their products. Through the corn/agrobiz lobbies they lobby for EBT use on sweetened products.
Half of those are dishwasher pods, you degenerate
this is what calicucks actually believe
there shoud be limits on what cut of meat they choose
>Are there a lot of moslems up there in CT?
no, but i've seen them walking around in their costumes several times and dont much care for it
Trump is trying to force people to work for handouts so maybe he can do something with this too - don't think it will happen but look what sacreamento is doing to tax sugar dranks
>hard working Asians, Middle Easterners, and Latinos to re-populate those areas
pleas tell me that people don't believe this meme
>maybe he can do something with this too
He will never do anything that hurts big American companies.
>look what sacreamento is doing to tax sugar dranks
Yeah, ever notice how it is always big liberal cities that try to ban or restrict corn-sweetened products like soda? Although unlike e.g. New York, Sac's economy does actually depend on agriculture to some extent. It's not corn in that area though, it's mostly rice along with nuts and fruit (which is in direct competition with artificial sweeteners, if you think about it).
The average person doesnt realize working out for hours barely burns off a single fast food meal, and then become demoticated and give up when their attempts at "fitness" dont work.
Also, fucking meme diets that dont teach people how they work
Wrong coast, cleetus
>gieb cole mine jobs plx huehuehue
I'll take 100 more brown people over another lazy white rustic any day of the week, we've got enough dead weight dragging us down
Demotivated
Meme diets are just designed to sell books and special food to people. We could call it the "Agro-nutritional complex" or something, some companies create obesity to sell more corn, and then others (sometimes with the same owners) take advantage of the unhealthy population to sell scam diets. It's no different from creating wars so that industry can sell more weapons.
They're all symptoms of the same sickness in society. There is no incentive anywhere in the market for actually improving the people of our country, but there are a million incentives for lying to them and robbing them blind.
There are plenty of lazy brown people as well, friend
Elect Michelle Obama as president. She has an intense disgust if fat people and children.
>He will never do anything that hurts big American companies.
I never said he was going to cure everything but will hope for every and anything I can get
>Sac's economy does actually depend on agriculture to some extent
the whole point of their tax was to virtue signal and claim superiority in the same way my state banned guns
i too hate black people and their nigglets.
Purge niggers, spics, and poor people.
>hope for every and anything I can get
Well you will never get tougher regulation of big business from him. I'm not speculating, look at the record. It's a fact.
>whole point of their tax was to virtue signal
As one of the hubs of fruit orchards in the country, they actually have an economic interest in giving the HFCS lobby some competition.
>Get rid of or severely restrict government handouts
>No free healthcare
>All fatties either die because they can't afford to see a doctor because they spend all their money on food or starve
Ez. Big daddy government is the only thing keeping these people alive.
There are some, just like how there are some hard working rural whites who legitimately want to educate and improve themselves instead of just sitting around doing fentanyl and waiting for some external event to magically transform their lives
But let's be honest here, brown immigrants are the way forward as a nation, white poors have been told they're entitled to a comfortable lifestyle in exchange for doing nothing for way too long, and when times are tough they blame others
I don't see their culture changing any time soon
You can't purchase warm food with EBT or SNAPS. How does welfare enable people to buy fast food?
Keto works though. It's complete shit for your health but it works.
Most brown immigrants come here for handouts too. If you reduce the handouts, you filter out the lazy ones real fast.
Welfare queens love loading up on shitty frozen food and snacks. I'm sure some grocery store anons can tell us about all the shit they see them buy.
Most people when they say "handouts" they mean "handouts for doing nothing"
Brown immigrants come here to work the fields, start a business, whatever. Anything but sitting around grousing about how we need the gold standard and China is going to repossess our double wide because they own a few billion worth of T-bills and how we need to cut off all foreign trade and turn back industrialization by about 100 or so years
Obesity is a disease. It's more profitable to create crash diets, shape wear, and miracle workout equipment than it is for people to be fit and healthy. Remove the incentive to keep people fat.
It's a mixture of personal responsibility for health but at the same time large businesses make more money from the obese as is.
>it suggests that obese black kids actually lose the weight as they become teenagers, but then gain it back when they get older
>Fat cause mama feedin em dat SOUL FOOD
>Grow to teen, start hanging with gangbangers cause no dad
>Lose weight running from cops
>Lose weight in jail/prison
>Repeat 20 years
>Settle down in section 8 and gorge on EBT fried chicken
Underrated dubs.
Latinos have a higher obesity rate and a higher welfare usage rate. 54% of immigrant led households use a major welfare program
Allow the government to actually regulate the shit that goes into our food.
I don't know if you can, everyone nowadays thinks they are so intelligent they can avoid hunger by outsmarting their bodies with trick diets. No one wants to accept a bit of suffering because hard work is seen as a bad thing.
Unsurprisingly the uneducated are way more likely to have this mindset.
Don't have a shitty medical system and limit fast-food proliferation
dae le carbs xD
Latinos well over represented for SNAP usage. White people and Asians under represented. Dem browns aint working hard enough
>thinking the gubbmint will save us
>trusting big daddy with determining what goes into our food
They subsidize most of the unhealthy shit and politicians are quick to betray their base once they receive kickbacks.
its sounds kind of stupid but could we actually have a fat tax? We determine someones ideal/normal weight (with a few kgs leeway ) i.e. my ideal is where I'm at, 64kgs but I'd be ok up to about 68 I guess.
Every kg above 68kg I gain I have to pay a tax per kg (you could claim it was to compensate the health system or something). Maybe $100/kg once a year or something, I dunno what would be appropriate.
I know it would never happen but would it work?
>fucking eurofags
no you dumb faggot it would never work. unless you live in a police state. (bongland)
jesus her forearms are like my thighs
lol good pic
why wouldn't it work?
Unironically this. If the vast swaths of worthless fatfucks in flyover land, particularly in the south, were eliminated, the obesity rate in the US would plummet. On the bright side, we could open the area for immigration homesteading and replace these inbreds with decent hard workers.
