Fat-shaming may curb obesity, bioethicist says

157. Bullsh*t.

Some people have medical conditions.

Some people take medications that cause the weight gain.

Some people are genetically disposed to being "heavier".

That being said, yes, we need to promote better - cheaper nutritious foods, more exercise, more MEDICAL care.

We should re-institute COOKING the children's lunch in school with appropriate local VEGETABLES and cooked daily, fresh, and with care as opposed to the prepackaged reheated unhealthy GLOP that is supposed to pass for food. My youngest has never had a "school lunch" in his life. Put RECESS and elementary school supervised PE/Recess (the kids think it's recess, but it's really a PE class disguised as play) back into the school day. Make PE a FOUR YEAR part of high school, not one year. (A school sport can count, though.)

We need an initiative to TURN OFF THE TV and the gd VIDEO GAMES - lets shame THAT behaviour!!! - and get the kids back outside playing. Riding bikes, running, jumping, climbing, etc.

DO NOT SHAME PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THEIR WEIGHT! You might motivate some adults to get off their ass and to a gym, or start eating fewer chips and more veggies and join weight watchers - though honestly - does anyone here actually believe that FAT SHAMING ISN"T GOING ON EVERY SINGLE DAY???

This is beyond ridiculous. This "scholar" is a IDIOT who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a school or public forum of any kind. He obviously has no freaking idea what he is blithering about.
