What does your government do to tackle weight problems?
High priority is placed on physical education programs in school. Students must meet a minimum requirement. School lunches are designed to be as healthy as possible, and restaurants and food companies receive tax benefits for selling healthy, non-fattening products, whereas corporations that do the opposite are taxed more.

What does your government do to tackle weight problems?
The government of Skibereen takes no action to legislate such things.
Additional under advisement of the Medical Council of the Republic the BMI is not officially recognized as Health standard. Given that research indicates a far more acute study of an individual's specific health and lifestyle and family health history is required to determine if their weight is indeed excessive enough to warrant a health concern. Additionally while excess weight can be connected to specific medical complications in research analysis, the same analysis has indicated that low BMI is connected to the inability of the patient to sustain life in the face of wasting diseases the most well known being various cancers.

The culture of Skibereen includes a high amount of physical activity, however these activities are also typically "strength" activities and as such 'Mass' is considered as valuable feature in physiology.

[The Children of Mama]

Almost none. Mama makes sure we get plenty of exercise.

[Mama adds: I monitor my Children's health regularly to prevent this sort of thing.]

[Orlkjestad]

We eat a lot, and we eat fatty foods balanced out by vegetables and fruits, but for some reason we seem to have a bottomless metabolism. The fattest you see us as is chubby.

[Charlotte Ryberg]

Obesity is not currently a serious, yet notable issue in Charlotte Ryberg largely due to the nature of the workforce being in the service sector. Apart from the health advice we give out it is not the duty of Charlotte Ryberg to forcibly alter the diet of anyone due to civil rights issue. However we did get round to give McDonalds a good grilling and since then it has committed itself to introducing healthy options and using less oil. However, McDs has voluntarily loaned out it's sponsorship just for the 2032 Summer Olympics in Antjepolis because not only a majority of people eat elsewhere, and the greasy spoon café thrives just as much as Starbucks, Pimms and Wetherspoons.

None. We aren't human and our bodies do not deposit fat in that manner. All Eldar are, to human eyes, exceedingly thin.
