Mary O’Donnell: It’s not fat-shaming to insist we address the ever-expanding problem of obesity

  1. Agree

    Tax the junk food (subsidies for vegetables)

    Edit: veg

  2. Yep.. stop coddling unhealthy and dangerous lifestyles

  3. Our government love to slap a tax on everything without putting anything back in to fix these issues. How many McDonalds are smack bang in the middle of areas where there are multiple schools? Theres 10 Starbucks on every street in Dublin city center. We import most of our fruit and vegetables from other countries.

  4. Get rid of any subsidies for grain. Make walkable cities through mixed use zoning. Invest in public transportation rather than more car-centric infrastructure.

  5. It’s not fat shaming…it’s another concession to a generation that only want positive reinforcement.

    Body positivity is great but if you gain weight to the point where it’s having a negative effect on your health you need to be told.
