How to solve the american problem

Dietary education and bringing down big food. Coca cola, Nestle, Mcdonalds. Any unhealthy or processed food needs to be taxed to oblivion.

White Americans have a lower % overweight thAn Danes senpai.

You can't force people to be healthy, but you can and should punish them by massively taxing all junk food (and maybe using part of the proceeds to subsidize healthier alternatives). This won't happen because it would be extremely unpopular with voters and powerful lobbies, and only an authoritarian regime could challenge those.

Let them be fat and remove medicaid, welfare etc and let hospitals and insurance companies turn people away

I hate this bullshit statistic. BMI is retarded.

It's probably more like 1/4 Americans are obese
.

you can't make people lose weight or lead healthy lives, but you can educate them.

Right now shit like the biggest loser is the only example people get of morbidly obese people losing weight. And they make it look like hell, with contestants losing as much weight as possible as fast as possible. Every diet magazine boasts diets that will make you lose 20 pounds in a week.

Properly educating the public about how to lose weight steadily and easily by counting calories and macros, without even needed to exercise would have huge effects. Similarly to how good sex education decreases teenage pregnancy and abortion rates. It's too late for many morbidly obese adults, but GOOD health education in high school or even earlier could do wonders for the future.

Most likely though education funding will continue to be cut too shit.
