The US Government hates you

It is the top issue. Obesity is the number one indicator to nearly every cardiovascular problem in the US. It kills more people than pretty much everything.
One of the things I supported from the Obama admin was Michelle’s school lunch initiatives. Of course the GOP attacked it because that’s all we do now is attack anything and everything that flows from the other side of the aisle.
Breakfast and lunch in primary public school needs to be free and it needs to be healthy. It shouldn’t be that hard.

Michelle's top down bullshit is a complete joke. Ask any educator that has to stock for it.
Same as most liberal policies, sounds nice but full of perverse incentives and fuckups that don't work "in the weeds".
The dazzler upvote kiss of death should be the tell.

It would actually be one of the better investments we could make, and it also poses beneficial incentives. It's not as if it isn't done elsewhere either.

One problem is that if you are a healthy growing kid you need a lot more than Michelle's lunch. Another problem is that the school lunch isn't causing fat kids. It's what they eat the other 23 hours a day. The parents are fat and don't exercise and the odds are that their kids are fat. Another problem is that I'm not all that interested in buying another kid's lunch and I'm sure some retired couple who took care of their kids wouldn't have been all that interested in buying my kids' lunch. In case you haven't noticed is that involving big government isn't actually solving any problems it's just making them worse.

Much like all the "ending homelessness" investments the results on the ground have no correlation to the nice sounding "investments" proposed.
It just ends up being different unhealthy options that are harder to stock and are more expensive.
Feel free to show where the policy made a statistically relevant impact on childhood obesity or health though.

Does unhealthy over processed foods make a healthy diet? No

Is overreating of anything going to lead to fat fucks? Yes

This country has a self discipline and laziness issue.

sure, but when it’s like 70+ percent it’s systemic. Like even if true its irrelevant once the percentages are this high
 
The move is sort of punitive health care premium insurance program. Have everyone start out at the same crazy high rate. Then you go get a physical with bloodwork and it goes down 50%. Goes down another 50% if you have a decent BMI. If you are classified as a fatty you can lower your premiums significantly by showing improvement. It's the only way to get people less fat. Obviously won't happen though.

Give the fats the lowest level of government Healthcare for free.
Have group insurance renewals impact individual premiums within the group for obese people. Similar to how age banded insurance works where gramps pays 4k for the family plan and the 30 year old pays 1500/month
