Public health agencies spend a lot of time and money on encouraging exercise, healthy eating, reducing calories, etc.
Obesity isn't something you can fix with messaging. It's a deeply entrenched problem spanning genetics, industrial food production, mental health, and even work culture.
Given the incredible difficult of reducing body fat for even a single person, reducing Covid harm using other means (masking, distancing, vaccines, treatments, etc.) makes much more sense for taxpayer dollars.
