Participant[quote=briansd1][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.
I would support a fat tax on most packaged products to pay for health care. If people want to avoid the tax, they could prepare meals from scratch.[/quote]
Probably agree with the tax part.
But let’s face it, what you put in your piehole is YOUR choice – and blaming that on ANY one else is l-a-m-e.KSMountain
Participant[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…KSMountain

Participant[quote=pri_dk]Either way, I don’t think we should let one unusual example influence national policy.

It is not unusual it all, it is becoming the norm. treehugger is right, go to disneyland – terrifying.[quote=pri_dk]
…then it should be possible for you to gain 200 pounds just by eating more and exercising less. Do you think if you just started eating junk food and bigger meals that you would eventually gain 200 pounds?[/quote]
yes[quote=pri_dk]
…to gain 200 pounds. That would be silly. I know that there’s no way I could do it.
[/quote]
You may be wrong about that. Any doctors reading this have a more authoritative opinion?KSMountain
