Right-Wing Discussion Thread XVIII: Hyena Central Command 憶ラ

Is that from the George Washington shrine you were talking about earlier?

No, it's just something I wrote.

And that I’m using to add flavor to the culture of the Greater Pennsylvanian Hive (the faction inspired by my own views, or rather by an unflattering strawman of my views), one of the factions in post-Cataclysm North America. More specifically, it’s an excerpt from a primary school history textbook. It could go as such, perhaps:

The Kings of Old Columbia, known before the Cataclysm as the Founding Fathers, set down the sacred principles of good government based on the Proper Way of Collective Harmony for the people to follow. The deeds of George Washington are rightfully considered those of a sage because he cultivated righteous conduct and acted prudently and justly for the greater good, and as such Providence handed him the Mandate of Heaven instead of the monarchs of Old Albion.

Ah, gotcha. Very nice I must say.

Why?

[The East Marches II]

No, not at you.

... It’s a thing, yes. I sometimes see commercials for it.

Fatties should be used as coolies for boomers to get around on.

I'm deeply concerned that if we end up with a national health service, they will bankrupt the system by their old age.

I have discovered a rather disturbing trend. I was watching a program and it seems we are no longer allowed to question whether being fat is a good thing. These tear down the norms folks have really done a number.

Fat people and their excuses for why they can't lose weight annoy me honestly.

That's why we force them to become coolies and transport everything on foot. We'd reduce our carbon footprint!

I think that if we actually have a national health service you'll see America's rampant obesity start to disappear.
Obesity is a health problem and like most health problems can go untreated when someone feels like they can't afford monthly check ups and pick up their prescriptions.

Do you think people will listen to the doctor on watching their weight? The UK has a health system that is near ideal for the government run version and it still has mass obesity issues.

If this were related to the presence or lack thereof of universal healthcare, obesity wouldn't be an issue in places like the UK, France, Germany, etc. It's becoming an issue in most places.

[The East Marches II]

If we have a national health service, does this mean the government has a responsibility to tamper with people's personal choices to keep the system afloat as lives depend on it? Serious question no memes

For an essay I had to write a few years back, I was required to read a passage on transfats in foods. It talked about banning them and asking us to make an argument out of the information provided. My argument was that it wasn't a free individual choice because of the fact that obesity cost society a ton of money in healthcare (I can't remember how much). It reinforced my belief that society isn't a vacuum and laissez faire principles don't apply.

[Napkizemlja]

Our issues with obesity are a result of lifestyle changes and the food we consume. That it's cheaper or the same price to buy two bags of chips instead of two bags of fresh fruit and veg is honestly appalling.

It's so noble how you're offering your time to help old people. :^)

The chips taste better though. Isn't it natural we would go towards what we like?

Yeah I'm calling bullshit on this. Obesity while it's a health problem is self manageable. It's called grabbing your sack and rucking it.

I disagree with that, it would be LESS of an issue as inherit health issues are only part of the factor in obesity.
Perhaps 'disappear' was a poor choice of words in fairness.

Ok. How is National Healthcare going to significantly reduce obesity?

[Hanafuridake]

Honestly I wouldn't be opposed to banning soda, chips, candies, and other things which contribute to obesity.

I mean, it's not like there aren't a lot of foods I wouldn't already ban.

I used to think that but tbh when you drop your sugar and salt intake for awhile and then try stuff again, it often doesn't taste very good. It's more we grow accustomed to it as we grow up.

And I mean if people want to gorge on donuts and chips all day they can, but they should have to pay extra in tax. Smokers are expected to pay more in taxes, so why shouldn't the obese? Especially those who have the means to not be obese?

No, you don't need to any of this, that's like saying the availability of guns is why we have high rates of gang violence and such. People just need to learn to have some fucking self control.

^This, tbh. Fruit tastes really good if you actually eat it in any quantities. I recommend apples as a good starting fruit.

Are you unaware of the conditions that can lead to rapid weight gain?
