[quote=scaredycat]in a sense, it becomes less of a choice when we are bombarded with advertising, when obesitybecomes a normal state, where clothing is cheap and bigger sizes can be purchased, where society is set up for driving not walking and so forth. it’s individually a choice, but societally, we shold know that from devising thiskind of lifestye, a predictable number of people are going to fall into obesity.[/quote]
That is a failure of leadership. Our leaders failed in setting the example and protecting us from all the junk.
The problem is that the priority is all about GDP growth at all costs. Coke and Budweiser have grow sales more than the population so it’s obvious we are consuming more junk.
I would support at fat tax on most packaged products to pay for health care. If people want to avoid the tax, they could prepare meals from scratch.

In my opinion the polynesians who eat right, surf, dive, work out, are an extremely physically beautiful people. The mixture of asian ethnicities with the polynesians has not hurt looks either.

I very much agree. Polynesians are naturally very beautiful. Too bad spam ruined that.

[quote=scaredycat]people would probably support a tax on gasoline before they’d support a twinkie tax. we are doomed.[/quote]
Well there are already major taxes on gasoline, but I might support more – say if it were guaranteed that the money were used to invest in reducing our imported oil dependence.
And I would support a twinkie/whopper/soda tax too.
And I would support not having junk food anywhere in or near any public school.
Just don’t interfere with my occasional double-double. That would be asking for trouble…
