The current obesity projections for the U.S make for sobering reading - nearly half of all Americans have a BMI over 30 and this is only expected to increase. The expanding waistlines are getting harder to ignore - even the GBS selfie thread can make for grim viewing at times.  There are a number of factors that people point the finger to: increasing portion sizes, added sugar, and an increasingly sedentary lifestyle. One thing I feel is overlooked is a car-centric culture which discourages walking to community centres and shops, unlike what one might find in a European city. If you had the keys to the car, so to speak, how would you go about solving this epidemic?

americans are really good at inventing things, like this new kind of group exercise where they wave their favorite flags and slogans around and do a lot of shouting. it looks really self motivating and it must get them really fit cause they keep doing it everywhere!!

Making people thinner would be hard, require a lot of public spending, and end with the people calling me a blood drinking Satanic Communist Paedophile overthrowing my government and installing some guy that owns a sugar plantation as dictator for life. So instead I'd bomb... uh some country that ends in "stan"... I'd bomb Pakistan.

I'd take a bible quote out of context then put it over a picture of a sunrise and clouds then post it on FB with some condescending commentary under it that is not-so-subtly aimed at my sister in law.quote:So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Were you glorifying God at the buffet last night, Susan?

Education on food and nutrition as well as training for cooking, access to healthy and affordable foods, and non oppressive social, professional and government obligations that prevent someone from being taking care of themselves and not out of their own choice. Or the goon answer would be a whole lotta mandatory laxatives.

Americans love two things: Fast food and methamphetamines. My proposal is to put all of America's meth into fast food. You can't eat when you're on amphetamines and you can't get amphetamines without eating.

Ban processed foods and artificial preservatives. In my completely unscientific opinion, we don't necessarily have an obesity epidemic; we have a junk food epidemic. its just too easy to eat way too many calories in anything that's heavily processed - soda, candy, pastries in plastic wrappers, fried chips made from reconstituted potato, anything from a vending machine. That sort of food is more addictive than smoking, its ubiquitous, and its very frequently the only choice. If we turned back to natural ingredients and put for the effort to make them as available as vending machines, than our animal brains should reconnect that eating a regular sized meal = feeling full. OR mandate everyone wears a fitbit and the death squads round you up if you don't hit your move goals. lotta scared/anxious people powerstriding at 1145pm. if you tug with a fitbit on you can fake enough miles to walk across the US
