Yes, of course this is political, it simply can not be if obesity is effecting large parts of the population.

I think it should be important to politicians. If the literal health of their populaion is not a priority, then what is?
>You're not going to lose weight by complaining about the lack of healthy restaurants around you.
Absolutely. But I am not talking about "me", since it is a population wide problem, population wide solutions are the only solutions.
- throwaway22032 3y agoI think politicians have a duty to act on things that individuals actually cannot change, over things that they quite easily can, that seems like a waste of energy to me. That's what I mean by political. It's not a problem to me that someone else prefers food over health, it doesn't affect me at all. Drug addicts in the street affect me, that's something that I'd call a "population wide problem" since there's nothing I can personally do about it.
