Yes, where are the proposed no-fly lists bans and threats to employment for obese people?

They are endangering everyone by their failure to lose weight.

If you have comorbidities that make you more susceptible to COVID like being overweight…yes you probably can’t shed those comorbidities fast enough to lower your risk…certainly not as fast as you can by getting vaccinated or wearing a mask indoors in crowded spaces.

I honestly didn’t see the Krispy Kreme promos. Yeah kinda dumb, maybe, but one donut won’t make you suddenly fat, either. Or make one’s already obese self that much more obese.

I agree totally about the difference one donut makes, but given the numbers regarding comorbidities like obesity, can you tell me why those who religiously wear masks are still piling up junk in their grocery carts?
The truth is that the experts haven’t pushed the issue. If they did, millions of scared fat people would be making lifestyle changes.
I’ve heard the statistics about obesity given as an aside, but never reported with much emphasis on how important it is. In the line while paying for groceries I do see magazines for women touting the “Big is Beautiful” bs. If you and I know about the obesity issue, you’d think the editors of mags like Cosmo and Women’s World would know. I’m sure Fauci, the CDC, and the WHO will get right on it.

Just think of the lives we could have saved, had not 5 Democrat governors forced uninfected nursing homes, into taking in COVID19 infected patients. That’s ok though according to the actions of the corrupt DoJ, as long as politics and politicians come first, screw doing what’s right and in the best interests of the l’il people.

Can a person catch Covid from a vax person?

I’m not so sure that people can be scared out of obesity.

Some of it is genetic…even more comorbidities such as diabetes type I are vitally sparked (which btw they are investigating a link to COVID as we have evidence of a diabetes Type I uptick as well as cases of pancreatitis. The pancreas has a lot of cells with ACE2 receptors. We are also seeing an uptick of Type II which can likely be linked to lockdowns as Type II has as its causal elements diet and exercise).

I will agree with you our experts could do a better job promoting a healthier lifestyle.

Here is where I am going to interject, however, that part of our unhealthy lifestyle comes from the fact that processed foods cost LESS than healthier foods…and have ever since we started subsidizing Big Ag by subsidizing farmers to grow corn.

Government-aided corporatism leading to deleterious effects on poorer Americans again.

Someone with pancreatic cancer is taking up valuable hospital space in place of deserving gang members with wounds from shoot outs.

The US has had whole states under a form of house arrests to save prevent overload of the hospitals. Meanwhile New York is facing a woman-caused disaster as hospitals lose huge numbers of staff as result of state-imposed vaccine mandates. Many of the staff already have immunity from surviving infections that they got at the hospital.

And the President is bragging about getting workers fired.

It was empty, and a red herring, to you. And W’aussie.

Like I said … peas in a pod.

Absolutely! Government subsidies for corn seriously screwed up our health. High fructose corn syrup is probably the biggest contributor to the obesity epidemic. But, it was cheaper for Big Food so whatever.
Maybe not all can be scared out of obesity, but finding out I was prediabetic certainly worked for me. Yes, processed junk does cost less than foods made by the same manufacturers advertised as “health food”, but when one looks at things like satiety, whole foods end up costing less. I get by on about $50 a week in eggs, bacon, ground beef, chicken, spinach, green beans, tuna, and cheese.

Next time you decide to criticize corn syrup, please take a minute and think about the farmers who work tirelessly tapping cornstalks and filling thousands (probably millions) of these tiny buckets.

Not at all. Those kind of lunches were for the “little” people/peons.

Not this again, no healthy food is not more expensive. McDonalds is cheap, home made vegetarian is even cheaper.

That doesn’t count resources. The product in and of itself is not the only cost. The cost of McDonald’s burger already includes not only the materials but the resources it took to make it and sell it.

Fact remains, I can cook a healthy vegetarian meal at home for less than the cost of a McDonalds meal. Dead simple to be under a dollar a serving.

No you cannot. You are discounting shopping, cooking and travel time. Labor costs….

Nevermind that looking at a societal issue of obesity through an individual prism isn’t a solution to literally anything

Dance all you want, healthy food is not more expensive, it’s less.
