>Fat tax
This has been tried multiple times already and keeps getting voted down not only by representatives but also when put to the public in propositions, eg in CA.
>In 2009, the Obama Administration explored levying an excise tax on sweetened beverages as part of health care reform efforts, but the proposal was abandoned after heavy lobbying by the beverage industry.
>In 2010, New York State considered a soda tax, however opposition from the soda industry and economists made a strong antitax campaign, spending at least double of the tax supporters, so the plan failed.
>In 2012, the City Council of Richmond, California placed the soda tax on the November 2012 ballot along with an advisory measure asking voters how they would like to spend the tax revenue.[89] This proposal was rejected by the voters with 67% NO 33% YES.
People really like their shit food

>Fat tax
Japan has a 2.8% unemployment rate. The US has 4.4. You want to know who is making up the majority of fat people? Hint: it's not people that are wealthy. You think this will be a deterrent, but it will literally just create further government leeches as people seek untaxable income through social benefits. There's a huge cultural and economic difference that needs to be considered before thinking taking people's money away will do something.
>Socialised gyms
>This will ensure that everyone, young and old, can afford exercising, and hopefully make less people take steroids or other substances to avoid the fat tax.
You know how many people pay for a gym membership and just don't go? Having the taxpayers provide a gym won't ensure people going, and it sure as shit won't prevent people from roiding.
>Add regulations to make sure unhealthy food is harder to afford. Sell more varied and unique healthy food, so that people won't get tired of it. And also ban soda and low quality fast food chains like mcdonalds
Go to an American grocery store. It's got a good variety of fruit, veg and healthy meats. And people who know how to shop know that these items are ultimately cheaper than processed crap. The reason the other foods are purchased is convenience/laziness as well as lack of education in shit like cooking and food prep. Banning foods outright just denies it to those who can easily consume it in moderation and who do have a sense of self-control.
The problem is much more complicated than your high school level thinking of "taxes and bans, bro"

Wow, I wonder what must be making their lives so stressful.
Maybe if they were attractive and capable of walking up stairs without feeling ill, there would be less pressure for them to eat more.
Fuck off with your fat acceptance bullshit, trying to blame anything but the fat fucks for their own condition.

What if we make our sticky more popular? Like, post it everywhere on social media. It's pretty convincing

>make trash food more expensive and good food more accessible
>Add regulations to make sure unhealthy food is harder to afford.
evwrything but this
at that point you're just penalizing everyone, not just your target. also there's no need for high expenses, just educate people on how to fucking live properly.

Strip fat people of citizenship and remove them.
>muh taxes and social programs
Never work. Just remove them from the country.
