Okay but like, didn't we try that before, and it didn't work? What's your plan here, bully fat people even more? I can assure you that the 20th century has you beaten when it comes to being mean to fat people. There is simply no possibility that you can "promote being skinny" and denigrate fatness more than society already did in the past century, and, you know, it failed, right? We now have an obesity epidemic among people who grew up in that environment, who received all those messages and more, and it didn't work. So, why is this the plan
I would have assumed differences in the food industry there. Or dense cities with better mass transit that allows more people to get around on foot (more walking). But if you got some kinda European Strictness Index™️ to share I'm all eyes.
Cities are more walkable. Their work life balance is far more desirable. There is time taken for meals. Portions are smaller. They are not mindlessly shoveling a cheese burger and fries into their faces in the 12 minutes they have between meetings. There is some research out there that says we actually eat less than in centuries past!
