We fat
Having gone around Europe a couple weeks ago, I noticed store and restaurant staff would greet some people in English and some in the local language, very rarely seeming to use the wrong language. Sitting on one particularly busy restaurant street, the pattern suddenly became obvious to me: people over a certain weight were always greeted in English. People who were middle aged and not obese were always greeted in the local language.
As an American myself, weights I’ve grown accustomed to as “normal” really are inconceivably big by world standards. It made me realize that even though obesity rates may be high around the world, the amount of weight by which they’re obese are completely different leagues.
- lack of access to affordable care
- lack of legislation protecting the populous from crap food
Show unattractive people stuffing cookies into their face and attractive people eating sprouted mung beans or something.
Society’s goal would be to increase demand of healthy foods, and decrease demand of unhealthy foods.
If you have the opportunity travel to Belgium or Germany and just order a burger. Notice the difference.
Its not just "attractive people stuffing their face with mung beans" its literally availability of food and regulation.
Advertise the sugar and sodium and carb and sat content prominently.
Stores like whole foods, erewhon, etc. have better produce quite literally and better products.
'good' food is simply more expensive than foods that are fattening.
its a policy problem.
The main problem is people on a poor diet buying expensive premade stuff with alot of fat and sugar in it.
A policy problem I have noticed however is pizza and hamburgers with soda as every day meals in the school cafeteria, as a choice for the pupils. That is just insane from a health perspective.
Don't we think that time is limited though? I have a white collar job and find myself relying of premade food. I can't imagine if I had two jobs or two jobs and kids
