Well true, it wouldn't be a drug addict, but yes you'll be compared with cigarette smokers, absolutely.

she asked for proof on how it'll stop current fat people from slimming down, when I'm talking about how it'll keep KIDS and TEENAGERS from overeating, as that'd be the goal. So in that regard, you're legitimately wondering if shaming cigarette smokers has helped kids not smoke when they get older?

in other words, you wouldn't have shamed smokers and drug addicts, when teaching kids about cigarettes and drugs, because of MUH FEEEELINGS

It's more for kids and teenagers, though. I'm sure shaming smokers and drug addicts didn't stop the smokers and drug addicts, but I think it's a safe bet that it saved an untold amount of lives by scaring kids and teenagers to not do them. We need to fat shame on that exact level that we did with smokers and drug addicts.…

yeah don't worry, we'll cooperate with an array of global health related companies to tackle America's obesity problem, and then go country to country, you know. Anyway about the fat shaming, I guarantee we could bring it to the mainstream, in the same exact way we encouraged shaming people who smoke and do drugs.

Like I posted earlier, there could be a noted dissimilar of sorts in fat shaming campaigns, noting that people who are genetically predisposed to being overweight should disregard it, etc. I'm sure they'll understand. If I had genetic problems with it, I'd understand that the vast majority of the people wouldn't be like…

But shaming DOES work. It entirely works. My entire generation avoided drugs because we didn't want to end up like the losers we saw in every TV commercial when watching our cartoons and what not growing up. Really, half the PA campaign for getting kids to not smoke cigarettes or do drugs was shaming the people who do…

So? You shouldn't govern based off the chance of hurting a few people's feelings, or you won't get anything done. Obama knew that people would lose some health care when he was campaigning for Obamacare, but lied about it anyway. He did this because he knew that when everything is said and done, some time from now more…

the % of people with genetic conditions is so ridiculously low, that not wanting to shame overeating based on that would be a wildly disproportional mistake. Although you make a good point though. We'll definitely have to include at least a disclaimer of some sort for those people with the genetic conditions

hey, that's exactly what I posted this on here. To get that constructive criticism I need. I'll sure to pitch the revised version to health instructors and professors across the country, too. I realize that this seems really far-fetched (in regards to actually kickstarting this massive project), but it'll make sense when…

On average across EU member states, 17% of the adult population is obese http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/docserver/download/8112121ec026.pdf?expires=1388728792&id=id&accname=guest&checksum=D85E8859C1F87DC7D730424F6ABC7A2C ctrl+f the above line to find it in that page, by the way. So compare their 17% to America's 35.7%:…

not yet, no. Which is why I'm throwing what I have out there to a variety of places on the internet, and finely tune it until the project is ready. In regards to how it'll be logistically kickstarted..You know, that's for an entirely different thread. But I assure you that it'll be done, and you'll be thinking back on this…

I love how people were probably making similar idiotic analogies when people went after smoking decades ago. In fact, there's footage of newscasters interviewing people on their take on the then-new airline smoking ban, and they went into a similar MUH FREEDUMBSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rant.

We didn't ban smoking, but we properly ended a significant % of smokers through sweeping government action as well as private efforts (which included shaming, by the way) we can do the same thing with over eating, and will do so. like I said earlier, I'm revising a lot of this as I read along this thread, and will pitch…

Believe me, I'm sure some cigarette smokers were furious when they were stereotyped as the degenerates of society, in anti-smoking propaganda aimed at kids, but imagine all the lives were saved as the result.

Hitler stupidly did it based off race, I'm doing it based of lifestyle choices. I guarantee you if the majority of Americans were polled, they'd say that a lot of people in this country shouldn't be procreating. Talk to any of your friends, and they'll say the same. Anyway we're going off point. I'm actually reading every…

If the EU's total obesity rate was compared to US's total obesity rate, we'd be far ahead of the EU

Ah, good save bro. Thanks.

Thank GOD people like you didn't run the country back then. Imagine if we had complacent people like you who, rather than aggressively cut down on America's smoking habits and end up saving countless lives, they were more worried about hurting people's feelings. Same thought could be applied to an array of other things…

Except it's entirely acceptable to shame people. We did just that with people who smoke cigs. As a kid, I remember watching kid shows, and in commercial breaks I'd normally see commercials that would shame cigarette smokers. You know, giving us the impression that people who smoke cigarettes and what have you are losers.…
