Instead of the government putting pressure on people to lose weight, why don’t they regulate what is allowed to be put in our food?
The easiest way to eliminate meat and sugar consumption is to not allow it or severely restrict how much of it is allowed in certain products and how much of those products are allowed to be purchased in a time period.
The government would also need to offer free services to help people lose weight like nutritionists, personal training, bariatric surgery, etc.
Instead of punishing people who are already in a bad place, make it easier for them to make changes and prevent future generations from getting there in the first place.
I don’t think just regulating corn syrup would be enough.
I’m kind of an extremist but I think sugar should be a controlled substance treated like how tobacco is now. If you want to advertise your product, it can’t have added sugar in it. Food with added sugar is in a separate section of the grocery store like alcohol.
So much sugary food is marketed to children, and I think if we’re able to limit their exposure to it, we have a better chance at preventing people from developing dependencies and addiction.
Obviously there are still children today who smoke and get alcohol, but it’s not as many children who regularly drink juice and soda.
Portion sizes is another big problem that I have less of a solution for. You can at least control what restaurants are allowed to sell, like no more than 8 oz of protein in a meal, etc.
