I believe America is entering the age of the “Lose Weight Nazis.”
Lose weight you will feel better,
Lose weight you will be healthier.
If you don"t lose weight we will tax you.
Lose weight or we will put you camps to work it off.
In time we will have a Final Solution on Obesity.
Written by a 300 pound American against the anti Obesity in children movement.
First of all, I find the quotation offensive because through a series of non sequiturs you are implying that anyone concerned about weight-related health issues will soon be murdering overweight people and denying them basic freedoms.
Second, what exactly does it mean to be against the anti obesity movement in children? Does this mean you are pro obesity in children??
When I was in grade school, I had one classmate in my cohort who would have been considered medically obese. Only a few others were on the plump side. (we also did not have sodas or sweetened drinks at school, only water or milk)
Nowadays when I see groups of school children at least 1/3 of them are significantly overweight. Coke and Pepsi buy the schools’ computers in exchange for vending machines in the hallways and lunchrooms. We are beginning what is predicted to be an epidemic of type II diabetes in children, a disease that used to be restricted to senior citizens.
God save the children, Ok WE will save the children. The cry to change society which could bring angrier people later in time. Because of type 2 diabetes those Nazi weight loss people will demand change, some Nazis of weight loss will demand change or make the obese suffer.
I was and am in LAUSD I was a student and now I am a substitute teacher and I lost my favorite drink because of the Nazis of weight loss.
If no one stands up many will get screwed.

The German soldier is fat today (2009) now there is a moment to make them leaner and more efficient. Remember what happened the last time the German soldier was lean and efficient.

I think you’re missing Xev’s point
The fact that obesity is skyrocketing & Diabetes is on the rise is a serious issue with huge impliactions for public health. This isn’t about trying to control people or making obese people suffer, this is about the fact that we now eat more of less nutritious food, and do alarmingly little exercise. As a consequence our health suffers.
I can’t believe you complain about having lost your favourite drink… If it’s so darn good why not just bring a packed lunch?
As a government, the US can’t FORCE people to lose weight, but they can incentivize being healthy, as obesity is solvable, but is expensive as a societal cost.
Many of my peer Americans do not take care of themselves and pass that along to their children. Fast food, High-Fructose Corn Syrup and a quick fix attitude are just a few things that are not doing the US population’s waistlines any favors. Obesity has increased by many times for children and adults in the last 30 years.
The sad part is that obesity is solvable on a high percentage of cases and it is getting worse.
If you wanna be fat go ahead, but don’t complain that you can’t fit in a normal airline seat or that you need a handicapped space because walking 200 ft makes you tired. When some people get fat they make excuse " I like being big, there’s more of me to love" or “I’ve got a thyroid problem”. The other group of people decide to cut the calories and do a little exercise. Live Xev said when I was in the 5th grade there was one fat kid of the 100+ students. Go by school today and it seems like every other kid is fat. Why is it that when a person can’t produce facts to support their opinion they resort to name calling. nazi, racisct, facist, socialist, communist.
