I could only support that idea if the taxes went towards publically funded nutrition research; the kind that drug companies won't do because prevention is not profitable.
It's not like the obese don't know they're obese and unhealthy; the problem is that it's really hard to fix, there's way too much misinformation out there, and for most people most weight loss approaches don't work. There is still a lot of fundamental research to be done to understand obese metabolisms and how to manipulate them so the body doesn't fight back against weight loss.
- vasco 10y agoWeight loss approach (eat less than you need) works for everyone, people just don't do it.
- SolaceQuantum 10y agoIt doesn't work for everyone if those people live in long-term hunger as a result. It's quite unreasonable to simplify it to that level.
- tokai 10y agoBut being hungry is something people should learn. I'm hungry all the time, most time also after I have just eaten. It is a sick mindset that you have to feel full all the time.
- SolaceQuantum 10y agoIf you're hungry 24/7, that's not normal and you should probably go to a doctor.
- PepeGomez 10y agoThe doctor won't listen to you, because you're a disgusting fat fuck looking for excuses. Almost everybody suffers from constant hunger when they try to keep weight off, if doctors wanted to listen, they would have acknowledged it long time ago.
