Bill Frist: How to wean America from its dangerous food addiction

3. Public policy tools and tactics that affect advertising, availability, and cost (including taxation) have been effective in fighting alcohol and tobacco addiction. Our society instinctively rejects policy that suggests "food police." In the future, however, expect these tools to be considered much more aggressively since obesity stands as an even greater public health threat than tobacco.

Yes, it's that Bill Frist.. Former Republican Senate majority leader.

He even acknowledges that Americans instinctively reject a "food police" then goes on to suggest government become that very thing.

What happened to the market based solutions Republicans preach about? What about personal responsibility? Is there any effective difference between this man, or Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and a Democrat? What about government guarding liberty as the priority, and then getting out of the way?

Why do so many Republicans sound like Michelle Obama these days?

If this is something he views as the legitimate role of government, why in the fuck would I ever vote for someone like this and what will he crusade against next? Pickup trucks? Guns? Is there anything that can't be regulated into the either in exactly the same way?

It's money and big business. If it saved an insurance company ten bucks a year, they'd vote to head chip us all..

I was on a cruise last week. 80% of americans are overweight. 10% are obese. Watching the fat people gobble everything in sight and then flop their blubber into the pool was quite enlightening--and stomach turning.

We don't need food police, but we need an aggressive education campaign about eating correctlly or we will all be paying the bills for all the health problems caused by overeating.

Moocheele and Frist are both FOS on how to do it. It has to start in 1st grade and continue through graduation. Education is the solution, not mandates.

[fapourfasiark]

tax fat and sugar content like tobacco.

vilify and marginalize the overweight and obese as was done with smokers.

claim poor eating habits, like second hand smoke, are inter-personally hazardous. the WHO has already demonstrated it will provide the necessary documentation on demand.

could be the next great governmental behavior modification/money grab; even more financial potential than the smoke nazi movement.

the kids are too fat to join the military to be cannon fodder. THATS when Uncle Sam HAS to get involved!!!

Yet even the relaxed 26% standard is too stringent for modern America. More than 9 million young Americans -- about one in four -- are too overweight to enlist, a recent report found.

NO, it has to be voluntary, and it has to be done through education. Now, I am just fine with charging higher premiums for fat people and smokers, but the sad fact is that one way or another we will all have to pay for their stupidity.

they already are. I say draft them and run the fat off them and then teach them how to eat properly.

I agree. Draft those feckers. I enjoyed my 4 yrs, for the most part anyway. We had something called "the fat boy club" where if you were found to be overweight, they ran your ass @ the compound on the regular.

Let's draft the fat niggers so we can slim them down and send them to die in another pointless war.

Wait...that's not such a bad idea.
