"Obesity has once again been pinpointed as a major problem facing the country.Former NatWest bank chief Sir Derek Wanless, who has already carried out two reports for the government on the NHS, is now warning the issue could overwhelm the health service."
Here are a few of the absolute solutions that can be applied now, all of which use off-the-shelf, currently available methods:
- Recognize that overweight and obesity are not medical problems
- Get that is is all about Calories in and Calories out. Nothing else. Stop making excuses.
- Recognize that overweight and obesity are not issues that will respond to the tools of medicine
- Cease funding for all medical efforts directed at the issues of overweight and obesity
- Cease funding for all medical "care" directed at overweight and obesity
- Cease funding for all research directed at combating overweight and obesity
- Allow people the benefit of experiencing the consequences of their actions
- Make businesses collect greater sick care insurance contributions from their overweight or obese employees to reflect their increased burden to society
- Enforce CAPTA (especially as it relates to parents and mandatory reporters)
- Prosecute diet gurus, their publishers and the media who expose diet and fitness lies to the public
- Prosecute diet gurus, their publishers and the media for practicing medicine without a license by offering health advice as it relates to body weight
- Prosecute those in the medical establishment, including providers, nutritionists, dietitians, Big Pharma, medical centers for malpractice in providing bad diet advice
- Forbid the "health food" industry from claiming its products are "health foods" in the context of the weight debate
- Get Oprah off the air. And do it fast. She is clearly a big, fat threat to national health.
Once you stop paying for this crap and utilize existing measures, you'll be pleased by the amount of resources saved that can be applied to much better purposes.
Problem solved.
