From behind. [spoiler]more cushion for pushing and so on.[/spoiler]

It's hard to tackle a fat person, be sure to get a running start and aim for the knees.
-
Make unhealthy food cost more = best solution. Poll rating being low = voters want their Big Macs cheap!
-
Change the food pyramid to have people eat more fat and less carbs, as well as more fruits and vegetables.
-
Kill the fat people and use their lard for industrial purposes
-
Most obese people already know the dangers of being fat. It's breaking a bad habit that is the problem. It's no different than trying to stop smoking or getting a alcoholic to stop drinking.

1 ReplyTeaching self-control and the consequences of unhealthy diet. No sugar-coating it, either. [spoiler]Ha, puns.[/spoiler]

1 ReplyContinue making games like Destiny. Then no one will want to play video games, and they'll actually go outside and exercise. [spoiler]Hehehe.[/spoiler]

2 RepliesEdited by DW6: 11/20/2014 2:25:24 PMFor parents defending their kids saying that their obesity is "a condition", how about you stop protesting outside of fast food restaurants and actually focus on the [i]real[/i] source? Because if it's really a condition, fast foods have nothing to do with their obesity. Is [i]genetics.[/i] Stop blaming fast food and just admit that your kid needs help. Real help. Oh, and by the way. There's no need to protest fast food. There's a solution to this supposed problem: STOP TAKING YOUR F***ING KIDS TO MCDONALDS! PROBLEM SOLVED! And obese people always say that. "I have a condition." They're certainly not helping themselves stuffing their faces with burgers. Make me wonder if their weight really is a condition or they just don't want to admit that they love eating.

Make being fat illegal

Education is the best way forward.
-
Burn them
-
Literally tackle it

Offer an incentive for free education and counselling at a local HS and online. People have their vices and they won't change, some people want to change but just don't know how to and they need guidance and support. The key here is to target the people who are ready for change and give them an environment that pushes them to better decision making. There is absolutely no point in wasting time and resources when someone just doesn't care. I think I would tackle it as a mental illness.

But I mean, maintaining over 8,000 nuclear warheads is obviously more important than helping the 400,000 people dying of heart disease a year. Ha. Ha ha. Educating people is... Iffy. Everyone in the country knows that smoking and binge drinking extremely detrimental to ones health, and they are still used in the masses. I'm not sure what caused it, but every CVS location in my area has stopped selling cigarettes, with big posters advocating quitting where the cigarettes use to be and nicotine gum at the front counter. Like I said, I don't know the cause, but if it was the company itself, I can see that as a potential domino effect on businesses if the public reaction is good. However the fact of the matter is, if you want/have to pay for less than $10 for a meal, that is prepared in mere minutes, because of any number of possible variables, this cannot happen and be healthy at the same time. Subway does an okay job at this, atleast better than other fast food shops, but all their meat is still processed. People want/need quick, almost ready-to-go food, and the only way to do that, while costing the costumer very little, is to precook and then use preservatives. You also get trans fats and low grade meat and such from the process of simply making this food cheap and fast. It's more of an issue that has such deep footing because of the pace of modern society, think about it, everything is instant now, phones, food, credit and debit cards, etc, rather than an issue on the industry. People get the food because it's so much faster than other options, not because they really can't wait to eat 1,500 calories in a "kiddie meal"

[quote]Yes you can only pick one[/quote] And picking just one won't fix anything. Though technically you can make one and two happen at the same time by removing the subsidies for food that goes into fast and processed food, and moving them to healthier food, and possibly taxing it more so on top of that. McDonalds and the like will drop it for less costly alternatives; the healthier food. Education is the next one but people in general aren't built to think abstractly about long term consequences. Too many people still think in only the short term. Another thing that apparently is a problem is just access. Grocery stores are becoming scarce in places that need them the most and are being edged out by fast food joints.
