Your nation's handling of Obesity?

Postby Zumreed » Sat Aug 25, 2012 7:01 pm

How does your country handle obesity, for both Children and adults?

Zumreed raises taxes for those who eat overly unhealthy foods in the form of a 'Fat Tax' . Most fast food restaurants don't do well in Zumreed.

Well, when carnivores prefer preying on bigger targets (cause of more meat and all), it pretty much cuts down on obesity. That and most people have the sense to not overindulge.

We usually force them to lose weight and stop eating so much. We make them work a bit more, and we make parents make kids work more.

Food is scarce, but some people are well-off. Obesity is rare, and not frowned upon or ridiculed.

Fat and Obese are two different things. Fat people are just lazy, obese people have flawed genetics.

It's not the government's job to handle obesity. Being such a way is a choice, a choice which Tsvarchivans have a right to make.

Unless it's actually because of a medical condition, then it's up to the healthcare system to solve the problem, if the person in question wishes to comply, of course. You can't force someone into a healthy, fit lifestyle.

Well, when you're a nation of herbivores, "carnivore obesity" isn't really high on the list of government concerns.

Obesity is managed by our enhanced metabolisms and our nanodocs which quickly burn off any excess fat in our body.
Even baseline humans commonly have the nanodocs installed in their systems so a fat person is something of a rarity in our nation.

There's no obesity epidemic in Ulvena. Considering almost every city is crowded and most people walk to their destinations, there's little room to be fat. No pun intended.

Nortoapoco does not have a significant obesity problem because obesity is caused by excessive eating, which is a form of gluttony. Any Nortoapocan who becomes obese is making her lack of self-control obvious to everybody. Schools inform parents when their child is discovered to be overweight and insist that said child go on a diet. Employers will also come up to their employees and tell them to go on a diet if they are overweight. Husbands are expected to monitor their wife's weight and make sure she does not appear pregnant when she is not.

Obesity apologists in Nortoapoco are censored because they are advocating unhealthy lifestyle choices. Nortoapocan scientists have proven that there is no such thing as "genetic obesity" and that is merely an excuse many obese people in foreign countries use so they can continue overeating.

It is universal for humans to be disgusted by obesity. Nortoapocans don't want to look at obese people, so they keep their weight under control.

Only an Obesity Apologist would actually try to claim that obesity is genetic, just like how only a quack would claim that children misbehave because of a chemical imbalance in their brain that must be corrected by turning kids into drug addicts. Nortoapocans know better. It is possible that "genetic obesity" exists outside of Nortoapoco, but it does not exist among our people. We've proven that with genetic research.
