There are negative consequences for adults that don’t put babies/kids in car seats or seat belts. However there are no consequences for contributing to your child’s obesity, why not? Is it because car accidents can lead to immediate death but obesity can take decades? Heart disease is the number one killer in the US and contributes to the excess medical spend we have. I get that obesity isn’t contagious, but couldn’t we save a lot more people if we made reducing obesity a priority?

Unhealthy=cheaper/convenient and in an effort to promote body positivity, we have swung the other way too far. There is a balance there IMO.

How do food deserts fit into your penalty proposal? Americans who either do not have enough to eat or live in areas without access to stores that sell affordable nutritious foods are at greater risk for obesity. Bottom line - Eating healthy costs more or is flat out inaccessible to millions of America so you're saying the answer is to punish them for being poor and not having a grocery store in their neighborhood?

I’ll admit I’m wrong. I recently read exercise is more important than weight for health. But the majority of people that exercise regularly aren’t obese. Of course there are outliers.

The poverty=obesity argument is tired 🥱

It comes down to education, not economics…obesity is caused by excessive calorie intake compared to calorie expenditure. Almost every fast food restaurant in urban areas is required to post nutritional information and has healthier options

If you're looking for inspirational films about addiction I highly recommend The Resurrection of Jake the Snake Roberts.

It goes through his problems, despair, but also shows his road to recovery through platonic love, support, and he finds redemption. It's great for anyone like me that tried and failed to get sober for years. I have over a year now for the first time.
