It's not like cancer where money is needed for research and trials. It's not like we aren't already throwing money at "combatting obesity" through schools and education. We could throw a $1 trillion at "combatting obesity", it's not going to make a difference if people don't take it upon themselves to make healthier choices. Do schools still teach the food pyramid? We probably have them to thank for multiple generations of obese people cramming carbs down their throat to meet the recommended daily requirements.

Honestly, I doubt people are thinking about the food pyramid in the McDonald's parking lot or when they're eating Doritos.

March 15, 20215 yr A lot of the obesity problem stems from the advent of processed foods that are cheap to make en masse and cheap and convenient for families to buy. Cheap and convenient being huge for latch key and poor kids. But pop tarts and hot pockets aren’t high on the health food scale and cause long term health problems that can also cause obesity.

March 15, 20215 yr This was started when the low-fat dietary guidelines inevitably resulted in high-sugar diets. Good documentary on this that's now free on YouTube:

Not to mention the fad to go with the "healthy" "low fat" and "no fat" options which usually just meant "we added a bunch of sugar to this to make it still taste good but we're going to claim it's healthy now since those evil fat calories are gone".

Soooooo.... Expanded SNAP benefits with minimum spent on fruits, vegetables, etc.? But now we run into an issue where people don't even have skills to make decent meals. Or the knowledge of a true balanced meal. But classes and better funding for Home Economics department and such wouldn't help. No, let's just keep spending a fortune on media air time and "information specialists" to go on Facebook and sprout on about the vaccine. I know everyone laughs at KZ, but his post about the pyramid is spot-on. There's no way we should be eating that many carbohydrates.

The government provided bad information and education (willingly by the way thanks to lobbying efforts) that helped lead to unhealthy diets which helped lead to the obesity problem. And so your solution to "fix" this issue is to give that same government even MORE of our taxpayer dollars. Brilliant! Let me guess, your solution to "fix" higher education costs is to make it "free" too right? Makes sense though. I mean, we all know that the way to fix a problem is to identify people who totally effed it up and go and give them even more money to eff it up even more.
March 15, 20215 yr Things are looking up. Jalen Mills is gone! Everyone is going to die here. There’s no way to escape that. If longevity is your thing, then by all means do what you can to stay in shape and have good metabolic response. Even doing it right doesn’t mean you won’t get something. Just simply aging puts you at risk of a host of diseases. Covid is novel and I just don’t understand people not wanting to be vaccinated or thinking it is some sort of something else that clearly it’s not. We’re still learning. Stop playing the blame game.

If there is one government program that actually feeds people, its that one. Higher education fix... remove federal guarantees on loans. Tie those schools that receive federal grant money to capped per-credit-hour rates based on COLA + ranking + Title IX for the liberals ;). If you want to go "free" education, tie it to major, GPA, and graduation. If you graduate with this list of top-50 needed degrees based on federal reports, then you get a 15% tax credit on your total tuition. If you average 4.0 GPA, you get 70% tax credit. 3.0 = 50% tax credit. 2.0 = 30% tax credit. So, no, school should not just be FREE without stipulations. Those with a 4.0 and a top-50 degree get 85% tax credit. Based on that combo, they're going to more than pay their tax credit back over time via higher income, without straddling them with insurmountable debt. Student loans are a JOKE! Interest rates are STILL 7% + even while the Fed keeps rates as close to 0% as they've ever been. And aren't you one of the ones who were laughing about me complaining about the government's spending and rules on COVID? Now you're saying they're inept, but only when they do things you disagree with??

You have to remember, the food pyramid was devised when the major concern was malnutrition and a lack of calories. The same thing is what drove the creation of processed foods - it was a way to get more calories to people with a longer shelf life. That made sense in the 1950s and 1960s when malnutrition was the issue and most people didn’t have a predominantly sedentary lifestyle. Continuing on with this is terrible given the changes in society. Most people don’t work manual labor jobs anymore, and portion sizes exploded.

"do your own research " is a cop out.
March 15, 20215 yr Posted by a friend who lost his mom to COVID. She had been in a nursing home for four months. COVID took her life at the beginning of the pandemic. Her birthday in 2019 here... what do you think killed her? Probably that mean ol' flu. Certainly not her diabetes, or heart failure, or obesity.... no, it's calculated as a COVID death.
