How do we stop obesity epidemic once and for all?

Increase the amount of sports channels on tv, particularly track and field oriented sports.

Healthy food channels.

Allow soap companies to hire a licensed liposuction team. Advertise free liposuctions, soap companies win, fat ppl win.

this

the only way is educating kids from the very begining, but that's like... impossible with all the shitty food advertismenrs on TV. So we can't stop it.

Just imagine it.

"Are you overweight and ready to lose those extra pounds? Well caress, dove, and irish spring have partnered up to help you reach your goal. Just call 1-800-fat-ppls, and our kind and patient staff will walk you through the process, step by step."

Well, unless you control and regulate what people are allowed to eat, as well as the proportions... But that's fascism, socialism, anti-free market and perhaps communistic, which very few people would want to tolerate.

Otherwise, obesity will always be a problem in the developed world. This is because humans evolved for fasting and desiring the more limited food sources (especially rarer sweet and calorific) of past circumstances. Now there is a Starbucks on every corner, food so cheap and very high abundance, and food advertisement everywhere trying to further entice people to purchase more food; food likely made with shit ingredients and sugar. Hell, there are even food scientists whom help food companies make food more addicting...

All of this, and the fact that the average common jobs are sitting or simply standing jobs for overly long hours in most days of the week; meaning less likely to burn off the calories gained.

Unless this change, human nature and circumstances will continue down this path.

I fucking cant stop laughing at this fat pepe every time i look at it... why the fuck is it so funny to me...

Could it be possible to make tasty food that's also hard to digest?

Do you get satisfaction from bullying larger people? Stop this shit right now and go to you bigots.

Having a weight scale at the grocery store and body fat percentage counter.

If you are a man and over %25 body fat or a woman and over %30 bodyfat you aren't allowed into the grocery store.

Oh and the food in the store is also free.

Idk, I wish I could take a pill or something to just make cravings and hunger go away. I'm not fat, but I do struggle to maintain a weight, and often binge uncontrollably. I then have to force myself to eat less the following days. Not fun.

It's called self control and distraction.
I don't keep much food in the house that is quick to prepare, and if I'm still hungry after a reasonable dinner I go take a walk outside so I'm not tempted to raid the cupboard or make something.

A single governing body will never allocate enough funding to it's FDA equivalent to match the funding that goes into perfecting the advertisement and "addictiveness" of food-brands owned by private companies.

It's hardest for me when I'm eating out or with company. Obviously self-control but it's not that simple.

Eating unhealthy food should become a social taboo like smoking has become. From what I've read - with few exceptions - most cancers can also be prevented just by eating well.
The main issues are that:
1) There's a big industry that makes money of unhealthy food
2) A lot of people want this unhealthy food and see it almost as a human right (muh freedom)
3) Some people might be misinformed, but I know of many reactionary people as well (new insights into nutrition aren't true, we have been eating like this since [x]!)

Another less ethical approach is a kind of "accelerationism": instead of stopping the unhealthy food industry you let them "accelerate" to a point of even more unhealthy food and in higher quantities, so the people who want the unhealthy food die quicker.

I have feeling the usual solutions will be the treatment of symptoms - as many propose here - instead of going to the root problem and solving that.

>Another less ethical approach is a kind of "accelerationism": instead of stopping the unhealthy food industry you let them "accelerate" to a point of even more unhealthy food and in higher quantities, so the people who want the unhealthy food die quicker.
A note to this.
The basic idea is that if it is their own choice (which is very much debatable, since they might not have the right information regarding the food), they should face the consequences.
That and one study wrote that healthier people are more demanding to the healthcare system because unhealthy people die quicker.

I have little sympathy for people who want to live unhealthy, and know the consequences, but accept society to fix their shit. People who really want to change their life should be fully supported.

B-b-but muh freedom

>Implying getting tackled by qt in short and t shirt, with maybe no bra was not useful

Nuke America

>things that never happened

Then another country would be the most obese in the world.

THERE MUST ALWAYS BE... THE FATSO LAND.

Make people so obese that they become lazy enough to stop eating so much.

Or they die to clogged arteries

>Ban excessive sugar (i.e most foods)
>Ban foods with retarded amounts of fat
>Install exercise as a fun thing to do in the youth

Are all brainlets fat?

have people sell food that is actually food

Education along with creating positions in society which garner self respect and stimulate a healthy mental status.

Low stress conditions create healthier people.

>unhealthy
Do you mean meat?

Isn't that the main carcinogen next to pesticides and aren't pesticides and lifestock not luxuries, but necessities for feeding the entire population?

It's the way it's prepared the main issue. Meat in itself is fine. Ban these methods, meat will be made re expensive but good. People eat too much meat anyway

Stop eating carbs. Or severely limit carb intake while still keeping caloric intake at normal levels

No, beef and pork are still thought to be inherently carcinogenic and processing is not just about preparation, but factory decontamination and preservation in addition to the cooking, so unless everyone has their own personal farm and only boils their meat, its unrealistic to think anyone can avoid processed meat.

First people need to realize that being obese is not a physical flaw, but a mental illness. Once we are there we can actually start treating obesity itself and not just the symptoms.

To prevent it in the first place, education, education, education. Sure, we kind of try that, but kids (and adults unfortunately) are exposed to a lot of contradictory information of which they tend to believe the more convenient one. Stuff like "fat acceptance" need to stop. It's destructive as fuck and having a society that accepts and even encourages an illness should never be a goal.

So Veeky Forums, Am I unhealthy because i'm 6 foot 120 pounds but active and have good health and cardio.

Kind of the opposite of this thread but I want to know. I also eat like 3-4 meals a day my genetics just caused me to have a super small frame

One word: Auschwitz.

You eat too little, you should eat more. You will look better, you will feel better. There are no horrible health consequences of being underweight in case you keep eating. At least for men this is the case, for women it's different. Still, eat more. You may think that you are eating just fine, and it's all just your genetics and whatnot, but you really eat too little.

I understand that, But there has to be a limit because of my genetics no? I mean my wrists are 5.5 inches in circumference and my hands are the same size as most females I know. I'm 21 btw.

At least i'm not a manlet though right?

>Ban foods with retarded amounts of fat
You mean low fat products?

PE was separeted here, like girls would be in the gym when boys were swimming and viceversa, when bot were in gym there was a massive steel beamed curtain that was cast to separate the two.
This happend probably becaus most boys were being proper pervs and snuck into girls washing area when it was pool day.

food rationing

there you go, just saved the world trillions, if not quadrillions worth of obesity related costs

by "killing" capitalism

Red meat sure, especially if processed. If most red meat was replaced with white meat and (or) simply several days not eating meat it would be a big improvement.

Processed red meat is surely unhealthy,, but I think it is more difficult to say that regular red meat is.

When I say unhealthy I was mostly talking of fastfood, candy, soda, cookies and so on which have absolutely no nutritional value at all.

>regular red meat
eating raw meat has an entirely different set of dangers, most people cook their meat, its why its really hard to do studies related to cancer and its currently inconclusive.

I don't know what raw meat has to do with it, but I thought there was consensus that red meat is a risk factor for cancer.
But you probably know it better as me.

I've read that milk is bad for your digistive track and that starch and carbohydrates are equally bad for your health. But the textbook "essentials of nutrition" never acknowledged those things and even advised to drink milk (products). Anyway, that textbook did say red meat was a risk factor for cancer.

Cooking is part of what they define as processing, I don't think that includes steaming or boiling or even microwave radiation.

Cull the fat people.

Free healthcare for normal weight people
300 % more taxes for fat people

1. Universal healthcare
2. Stop pumping food full of sterotids and other chemicals
3. Have you heard of the concept of the food desert?
>A food desert is a geographic area where affordable and nutritious food is alleged to be hard to obtain, particularly for those without access to an automobile

Better public transportation, destroy the fast food and big box stores, fund farmers markets and health food place

4. Make it illegal for anyone over 400 pounds to have a job, i say 400, cause there are a lot of big guys with muscles who are like 300 pounds, so i think if you somehow got to 400 pounds you got to admit when you got an problems

5, Destroy liberalism, liberals tell fat people that its okay to be fat, its okay to be a hulking mass that can only walk 5 steps before you are out of breath, we need to foster a culture that fights against this, and im not saying to hate fat people, im saying a culture that encourages health consciousness must be socially engineered.

6.Tax break incentives to people who are at a healthy weight?

7. A fat child is fat because their parents, the parents are the ones who by the food, make it socially negative to be a parent who does not know how to feed their kid properly

Have you ever seen a smart fat guy?

>implying those with the discipline and self-control to exercise and eat nutritionally/proportionally aren't inherently superior to those with little to no self-control who sacrifice their own physical capability and vitality to experience short term pleasure
>implying you're not a butthurt lardass
>implying this is /pol/, not Veeky Forums
Fuck off

...

It really is that simple. Self-control is a very basic and simple concept. The difficulty of it is another matter entirely.

Fine every overweight person $100 for every month their body fat percentage averages over 20% (25% for women) after 6 consecutive months (i.e. the first 6 months are free, but every month after that costs $100); and for every 5% over 20% (25% for women) the fine doubles.

Imprison those who refuse to (or cannot) pay.

...

Go to Veeky Forums, read sticky. Your genetics can be easily conquered based on the strength of your own willpower and dedication.
>6'0"
Shut up, some of us are stuck at 5'9" ;_;

That's unfair as overweight people can't lose that much weight at a healthy amount that quickly.

You all just can't handle these curves

He's not fat, his brain is just distributed over his entire body.

Fuck you, bigot. Yeah I'm slightly overweight, but that doesn't give you any rights to be a fucking bully. Now fuck you fuck off.

Put down the chips and do some squats lardass

have people weigh in each year at a designated center, and tax the everlasting fuck out of them if they don't fit in the threshold.

War against food products

We need to build a wall around the fat people. And make the fatsos pay it.

1v1 me you fucking bigot. I'll teach you what happens when you mess with people with larger bones.

That fat Pepe is fucking hilarious

Pool water can't melt steel beams

Pass a health tax thst increases costs on soda, chips, fast food, etc and use that to publically fund gyms.

Also run localized beauty pageants for men and women

We separate the fat from the rest of society and make fuel out of them, if someone reaches the weight limit they will be turned into a renewable resource.

Invent delicious, calorie-free food.

Anyone seen Black Mirror?

set a requirement that everyone must step on a scale provided by the government every morning, and if they're over a certain BMI then they're almost worked to death at a camp. This will be enough to scare people to not eat junk food, and ensures that the ones who have will never do so ever again.

>BMI
wouldn't fat percentage be a better measure? Or do you have something against body builders as well?

probiotics

/thread

make it illegal to consume animal products

forces everyone to be vegan

outlaw foods with a greater than 12>1 calorie to protein ratio

Chips and soda are vegan

In your society the only food allowed is like beans and tofu

I'm not sure why people think that meat has anything to do with obesity. I'd even say meat is rather irrelevant to obesity. It's high quality food mostly with high nutritional value. If you want to start banning things, start with added sugar, soda and fried shit.

They're both scourge of the Earth, and both are almost equally unproductive.

>like smoking has become

lol where do you live that smoking is a social taboo?

I don't even smoke but I know a lot of people who smoke and it's not "taboo"

>see it almost as a human right (muh freedom)

Are you telling me it's not my right to eat whatever I want?

Yes

Try to eat a judge's nose and see how far you get in life.

Low protein diets drive overconsumption by protein leveraging. Protein is in fact the most satiating macronutrient, high quality animal proteins even more so due to the anabolic effects on hypothalamic and striatal feeding circuits.

Found the fatso

reintroduce fasting

Donuts, cake, french fries, and sugar are vegan. Take your religion elsewhere.

Eating red meat has health benefits. Why don't you kids do some research? Reading abstracts on pubmed is free.

Just for your information, the WHO spews out bullshit all the time and this is one of those times.

>we stop obesity
What do you mean by "we", Fatty?

Force obese people to run on treadmills that generate energy for the country. This solves obesity and global warming at the same time!

I'm not fat.

Kill tumblr

stop giving them medical care when their hearts explode.

If an alcoholic with liver failure gets a new liver and drinks it into oblivion he will not be getting a new liver. If a fatty eats their foot off then continues to eat until they have a heart attack they shouldn't be given treatment.

Those are rolls. You've got more chins than a Chinese phone book.
