Why can’t we do the same with the obesity issue?

1. Begin educating more about the importance of a nutritious diet and how to avoid over-eating.
Re-establish nutrition and diet education throughout high schools and elementary schools.

2. Hollywood needs to stop promoting bull-shit diets.
Ever heard of the “Tapeworm diet”? (I’ll let you guess if you haven’t…)
Or the “Sleeping beauty diet” (Literally sleeping all day so you don’t eat… who works right?)
Our diet needs longevity and sustainability to work.

3. Educate as many people as possible on how to properly calculate your BMR (basal metabolic rate) basically the avg calories burned in a day.
Have everyone learn how to estimate or track calories if possible at least for a month or two, to get a feel for how it's done.

I created this thread to spread awareness on an issue that doesn’t have nearly enough attention as it should have.
I believe there is no simple solution because its not a simple issue, it’s a systemic issue with multiple factors.

By targeting each factor we may be able to improve and help those who are obese in a more efficient manner.
