Maybe 15 years of “big is beautiful” and “healthy at any weight” wasn’t the smartest plan. Advertising agencies and media are responsible for this. Flushing public health down the drain just to get more clicks by appearing to be sympathetic to overweight people.
Focus should be on nutritional education, helping people understand how to eat more healthily and making sure it is achievable in terms of availability and cost.
Yes, even here in Eastern Europe it’s starting to become a problem because of the bad nutrition of most people (they buy cheap, low-quality food).
Should declare it as a pandemic, then the govts can mandate masks and they might actually be somewhat effective.
