| ScruU2wice | If you take away our liberty to choose our own food, where can you really stop. I'm not willing to give up my civil liberties to get people thinner. | |

We have pizza  .I'm not that fat, really. I'm losing weight, which is suprising considering my diet normally consists of fast food daily... |

| Emu | I know at my school they make the food so shitty that there's no way eating anything like that could possibly be healthy for you. We don't have macaroni and cheese. We have macaroni and yellow water. | |

| kellychaos | Has anyone taken a serious look at the foods that school cafeterias offer? It's clear that they base their menu on profit (Kids like the junk food and will buy it) over what's actually good for them. And I think that equating obesity with will-power is a load of crap. People are just physiologically different and some people that have a faster metabolism will not necessarily be obese. Fat maybe, but not obese. It's subjective. | |

Aren't you fat, yourself, OAO? In my school they can only sell junk food in the vending machines before and after school. When they forget to turn 'em off during those hours kids have a field day. |

How would privatizing the health care system be a solution to the obesity epidemic? It makes no fucking sense at all. Where I come from, everyone has the right to health care, regardless of their income. In my humble opinion, socialized health care is a good thing. |

I say government should stay away from trying to legislate something as personal as with what we intoxicate ourselves, too. Legislation is CLEARLY not the solution. |

| Emu | I hate it when parents use that excuse "some poor kid in Africa is starving for this food right now and you won't eat it." Well, then, send it to them, stupid bitch. Instead of giving me something I don't want, help the fucking Africans. | |

| UP_SHUT | One of the biggest problems with obesity in our country is basic eating habits. People here are taught to engorge themselves with as much food as humanly possible 3 times a day, and then some. You're only supposed to eat when you're hungry. GEE, WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT BRIGHT IDEA. I hate it when I see parents forcing kids to lick everything off their plates. If a child is hungry, they'll eat, dammit. Too bad if they waste the food. Its called a refridgerator. If they're not they shouldn't be forcing them to stuff themselves like a friggin' sausage. | |

I am ok with the whole aspect of trying to help me get thinner, but it's crossing the line when you try to regulate what foods i eat. Once in our school i was in the lunch line and when i went to pay the lady told me that i had to take a cup of fruit, because it was federal regulations. I think she was bullshitting me but the idea of the government telling me what i can and cannot eat is too damn authoritative for me. I agree obesity is a growing epidemic, but not something to sacrfice freedom over... |

Austria already has something like this. Obese people don't get government health coverage there. And the secret to staying in shape isn't a secret, it is just something people don't want to do. Exersise regularly and drink lots of water, while at the same time mataining a balenced diet without processed food (nothing that has ingredients that a 6th grader can't pronounce). |

| kahljorn | They should card you at mcdonalds. They card you for alcohol because it's, "Unhealthy"... but our great scientists are finding out that just about everything is unhealthy for you. Cept Beef Jerkey and Top Ramen. | |

Calories are types of energy for the body. There's good and bad ones. Obese people eat alot of the bad ones. But it's real easy to tell what kind because food labels show how many good, bad, and crazy calories they have. |

| Emu | I think the problem is that all the bullshit is too complicated. Like those weight watcher's programs. "Write down everything you eat and tally up the points and then see how many black pearls you'll need to feed to the dragon before you can sell him your soul to lose a pound by the end of the week(if it doesn't snow.)" That and people are frightened by technical jargon when it comes to weight loss. I'm still not quite sure exactly what a calorie is. | |

| camacazio | Obesity is much more prominent. People, for the most part, aren't very smart about staying healthy. Starving yourself or eating McDonalds for dinner every day are both incredibly stupid eating habits, yet an alarming amount of Americans chose one of the above. I think all around it's important to put more effort into teaching kids what eating healthy means--teaching about the food pyramid obviously isn't enough for stupid people. | |
