She needs to work on her prediction skills. That's some dumb shit.

A lot of countries that don't let food manufacturers "test" chemicals on the public will be happy though. The nanny state delivers!
I'm not entirely malicious though. How about free gym membership for anyone who's overweight or obese? Or a physically taxing sport if they prefer. Personally I find gyms bo-o-o-ring.

Treadmills are pretty fun if you ask me.
I don't think giving people free stuff is gonna necessarily make them participate in it.
Maybe we should just focus on educating children how not to be fat and feed them school lunches that aren't made of rubber and God-knows-what-else.
A few pieces of juicy, authentic fried chicken will be much healthier and provide much more energy
than the gray mystery meat that is commonplace in school-provided meals (which also contain toxic ingredients).
Combine that with a nice side of real mashed potatoes or collard greens and these kids will be eating good AND maintaining the population.
Basically, stop feeding students shit.

Pretty much this. In no way is humanities survival threatened by this. It more or less just means western men are lazy shits who expose themselves to unhealthy things and the problem could probably be fixed if that changed.

I mean
It’s not just laziness
There’s reasons obesity and poverty correlate

And since this is primarily affecting Western men, we can expect some people to be highly concerned.
Honestly, same: I do not intend on passing my crappy genes so I don't really give a fuck about falling sperm counts.

Not nearly enough.
It varies by state and employment status (DC wins with 40.9%), but uh…22.9%, nationwide.

Maintaining a birth rate above replacement level is only necessary under a capitalist system because capitalism requires endless growth.
Everyone brings up concerns about a population with too many elderly, retired people and not enough young people to work, and we hear the questions, how will we support the elderly, and who will do all the jobs? But these questions assume the current capitalist system is inevitable when it's not.
There are more than enough people to do essential labor even in a population with a low birth rate. Millions of people work jobs that don't contribute anything material to society, those jobs can go and there will still be plenty of folks to do things that actually matter, and caring for the elderly wouldn't be anywhere near as expensive if done without a profit motive.

Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.
