Miss me with that "must be earned" bullshit.

If you think that being healthy should be a reward for a lifestyle of virtue, that's your problem, not mine. I'd rather have an actual solution than a blanket "those people don't struggle hard enough", pointed at the majority of US population that's overweight.

Yes that's correct, we can't just expect people to lead that struggle alone.

How about some regulation in the F&B industry? Reducing screen time at school? Those can be done now and don't really cost much.

And then make our cities pedestrian and bicycle friendly. More difficult but definitely a win.

Or would you rather pour billions hoping for a magic pill that solves it all? This is not realistic.
