It's not just social pressure, for some it's outright forced by the employer. E.g. civil servants have to maintain a healthy BMI. You are given a physical examination once a year and if your BMI is too high you have to go on a diet or you're fired.
- saiya-jin 9y agoas harsh and intolerant as it may sound, this might be the most effective way to fix widespread obesity disease. some more ideas - give a tax/health insurance benefits to those under certain BMI, subsidies on gym membership (but somehow make sure that there are actually regular workouts happening). some of these are happening on some places, but having it in embedded in laws would make our societies healthier and it would also fix the mindset. or add an extra tax on all foods that contain sugar/corncrap/monosacharides above certain threshold, plus raw sugar itself.
