Julius believes there is now even a backlash against fit people. So instead of fat people being made to feel awkward, he says that fit people are often made to feel bad about making their health a priority.


I'm not sure if there's a backlash, but it seems as though fat people are being taken as the norm - especially the young.

Wherever you go there are men and women proudly showing off their girth with super tight and revealing clothes. There used to be shame if you could pinch an inch of skin around your stomach and fat people were quite rare.

Sugar is the main cause of obesity. Perhaps the government needs to start monitoring sugar the way they have with cigarettes. Imposing a huge tax on sugar could save a lot of lives.




mantra,

No.

That sort of 'social engineering', is what is wrong with our society.

We are not prepared tend to refuse to accept the consequences of our own choices, being 'sheeted home' to ourselves.

Instead, we have come to expect someone else to continually 'rescue' us, from the consequences of our poor choices.

That is wrong!

How are we to ever learn anything useful in life, if we are never allowed to make mistakes [mistakes which actually cost us something] ???






???

Let the obese die of heart disease!

And let others take note of that CONSEQUENCE, of obesity.

Too harsh ?

That is a better 'outcome', than preventing me and others in society, from,
...........having access to a 'dangerous' substance like sugar !!!!?





mantra,

If you want all of your choices made for yuo, people such as yourself should [seriously] go and live in North Korea, or, Saudi Arabia, or, Iran, or, Somalia.

The regimes in those places want to run your life for you!

Yadda I was being a bit cynical and should have put a smiley face after my words.

Of course we're responsible for our own health, but the government ultimately does control our lives. All governments love taxes and a sugar tax would be more lucrative than a tobacco tax and probably more helpful in reducing health care costs.

tax sugar. also we should have a youth organisation that is mandatory for all kids to go on summer holidays where they are forced to play sports, learn survival skills, archery, etc. to crack down on obesity. obesity is a blight onto this earth and telling people to rely on their 'responsibility' isnt working. we dont have a disciplined population capable of self regualation, and it is very possible that we have been operating on a false food health paradigm that equates saturated fats as the cause of obesity and carbs as benign. if so, it is not surprising why obesity is out of control - if our very nutritional knowledge paradigm is wrong in the first place. fat needs to be stamped out by force.
