I think a lot of companies are starting to do programs like that these days, I know that where my dad works they have programs in place to encourage the staff to keep fit. I'd think other big businesses would be the same.Uzique wrote:

Not really going to work. The feds have more to worry about on their plate and it'll just end up becoming an additional food tax. I think the problem in part stems from lack of education. PE has too much locker room bullshit and not enough actual physiology. But given all the other fields of study that American schools fail at, it's only to be expected.Dilbert_X wrote:
Is restaurant food the problem or just that people eat colossal quantities and don't do any exercise?
Step 1: Cut portion sizes by federal mandate. If alcohol content in beer can be regulated then sugar content in soda can be regulated.
What a shitty argument. So patients loose their dignity by getting sick?JahManRed wrote:
Patent dignity? Don't want to be harsh, but they lost their dignity when they nearly eat themselves to death to need an ambulance in the first place. What, should we erect curtains around them when we are moving them to protect their dignity? Should they be in a separate ward to protect their dignity? Fucking protect your own dignity, its your own responsibility. Don't eating like a horse.
Dignity? Id fucking roll them outta the house and down to the hospital like a beer keg. They lost their dignity a long time ago.
He has a point though... You really can't get that large without subjecting yourself to absurd levels of neglect.Ticia wrote:

Just because someone needs treatment doesn't mean they're stripped from their basic rights.

I'm not saying all problems are under your control, but there are certainly patterns of behavior that are hard to sympathize with. I personally have very little sympathy for people that don't help themselves.
LOL... Works for me, but hunchbacks don't require a different ambulance, unless they're just ridiculously tall.Ticia wrote:
