More government and higher taxes won't solve our 'fat' problem. Jesus that's a stupid idea. Fat people should eat less and exercise more, end of story.
I know it's politically incorrect to talk about fat people and their eating habits, but damn, think about how many times you see a fat person walking around eating a fatty snack or eating 3 times what you are in a restaurant or cafeteria.
I'm living in France now where the population is VERY fit relative to America's. It's so rare to see a fat person here that I probaby only see 1-2 per week. It's not their diet that keeps them thin, it's their net caloric intake. People here eat less and walk around more.
Here's an easy formula to figure out if you are going to gain or lose weight regardless of what you eat:
Calories IN (food/drink) - Calories OUT (exorcise/metabolism) = Weight gain or loss
If you take in more calories than you burn on a daily basis, you will get fat.
If you take in and burn about the same number, you'll stay at the same weight.
If you take in fewer calories than you burn, you'll lose weight.
It's not rocket science, fatties just aren't motivated enough to lose that weight. This is just the politically incorrect truth.
