Would banning all you can eat buffets help to solve America's obesity epidemic? There is literally nothing good about them. All they do is promote and encourage sickening gluttony.

Fuck off Leaf

Nothing will solve it I don't think.ALso we are hardly better my felllow leaf. The only country that seems capable of not being ridiculously fat is Japan

No it wouldn't solve it. We just eat too many calories. The biggest issue is how calorie dense some stuff is. Like 5 of those mini cookies in a box is 100 calories and you can eat those in a second or so. Now try to burn 100 calories. Takes time.

Just let the fatties die off

The fastest way to "solve" the american obesity epidemic is to ban all sodas. That's it. No more slurpees, pops, or other heavy syrup drinks. They are hundreds of empty calories that bloat your stomach and make you want to eat even more.

Is it comfy up there in Canada?

FUCK YOU

Nope.
Disallow EBT from buying ANY pre-prepared or precooked foods, if it ain't raw veg, a sack of grain, dried beans, or sugar, or raw meat you have to use money you actually earn.
Use excess funds from groids not spending their ebt on fucking snack cakes to reintroduce home ec so these retarded kids figure out how to cook.

This

Nobody fucking cooks home made meals anymore. Everything is loaded with sugar, soy, or syrup.

My wife didnt even cook unti;l I taught her how to. Its fucking embarassing.

Why is it the job of government to tell me how much to eat? It's not and they shouldn't have that kind of power. I'd like to see warning labels for gmos and products that contain too much sugar, and clearly unsafe food products like arsenic dumped into milk or something removed, actually remove the gmos as well.

but anyways, as long as the food itself isn't poison then its up to me how much of what i want to eat.

op do you honestly want a nanny state that interferes in every aspect of your life? especially considering how many people in government are literally evil

WOULD BANNING ALL Canadian DUMBFUCKS THAT TYPE ON Sup Forums MAKE STUPID Canadians STOP TYPING ON Sup Forums?


I guess not...because most Canadians are stupid wanna-be AMERICANS

Shut up, leaf.

Uhh no.. Canada is 10x better than Burger land. You should come visit sometime bud.

Maybe americans have normal weight, but everybody else is too skinny

buffets are pretty sweet though. you know the price upfront and you know you're not still going to be hungry afterwards. you get to look at the food and pick from over a dozen dishes and have as much as you want.

pay a reasonable fee to enter a room full of delicious prepared dishes and eat as much as you want. it's great. what human in his right mind could not enjoy a decent buffet? how sad do you have to be to shit on this marvelous concept?

Went to a Chinese restaurant in Houston and the buffet was full of wetbacks and their fat wives devouring everything as fast as it was coming out to the steam tables.

some people abuse it. some people abuse alcohol but i don't and i don't want alcohol banned just to save the people that couldn't stop drinking. do you?

sometimes you just have to take the good with the bad, especially when the alternatibve is big government nanny state.

I wonder who is REALLY behind Chinese buffets? What's their end game? They certainly aren't made for Chinese people- Chinese people tend not to eat at Chinese buffets, and the food certainly isn't authentic Chinese at all. I think Chinese buffets were invented by the Chinese-American-Jews just to make Westerners fat, unhealthy, and addicted to their food.

Keep all you can eat buffets legal, but put sterilization chemicals in the food.

No.
It's all the junk food and soda that is making Americans fat.
Trust me, most obese people couldn't afford a table at one of those.

They already do. All the corn, soy, canola, sugar in the foods we eat everywhere, about 80% of it is trans species genetically modified. And in animal studies the bt corn at least causes sterility in small mammels after only 3 generations. But hey, I'm sure the declining sperm in the west down 50% has nothing to do with this or the atrazine and other hormone altering chemicals in the water supply. Or the plastics in the cans and bottles, no hormone disrupters there.

Fact is sterilization of the stupids has already begun. check your fridge bitch are you being sterilized? i know i am by the transgenic food the cows that made my cheese ate. but organic cheese so expensive eh? well if i was worth not sterilizing i could afford it. hahaha

It is my right as an American to eat as much hydrogenated corn syrup as I want.

I'm fat because I eat garbage. I've never been to a buffet. Garbage is cheap. I don't even eat that much of it but it has more calories than regular food.

I'm no THAT fat but i'm fat enough to hate myself.I look okay in a shirt.

>Why is it the job of government to tell me how much to eat? It's not and they shouldn't have that kind of power.

You don't even power over yourself to stop eating.

I have two Chinese buffets and one grease buffet only hundred meters away and I'm not fat. Buffets don't make you fat.
Syrup education

i think warnings on packages could help with the syrup education induced obesity. apparantly warnings have actually reduced smoking and everyone already knew that wasnt healthy. so imagine what warnings could do for things people sort of vaguely understood as being unhealthy, if they read the warning (big if) they might actually be inclined to consider eating less of it. naturally food companies would hate to print anything on their products that would reduce sales, but the cigarette companies didn't want to do it either i'm sure. but when you've got gmos, preservatives, and 200 grams of sugar per serving then maybe a little explanation regarding potential risks and how much might be too much and where to go for moer information might be a useful bit of text on any food product, in a big red warning box that people can choose to read or ignore but they will notice.

but then again theres already only so much space on a package and there's already a list of ingredients and people could figure out on their own if they were inclined. its just so frustrating watching people kill themselves on food that has been poisoned to kill and sterilize them

i know, a little red warning box with just a few words "contains gmo, preservatives" madnated. just to remind people that yes these are potential concerns. because they way they dont even label it now suggests to people that it is not a concern.

^LOOK...A DUMBFUCKING CANADIAN SAID HER HOMELAND WAS BETTER THAN AMERICA^

than she realized this was NOT trailor park boyz

^look..a stupid Canadian typed on Sup Forums...then thought her dad would not beat her^

gotta luv stupid canadians

as an AMERICAN...I hate when I type shit that makes a Canadian dumbass feel stupid...

no I don't..

we all know MOST Canadians are communist dumbfucks...and WE ALL know most of the world is COMMUNIST retards...it only makes FREEDOM luving AMERICANS laff they ASS off...

Jealous you don't live in the country of infinite food. Literal chocolate and cheese fountains just because we can.

sugar makes people fat, our bodies can process sugar but not a lot, and the other 180grams of sugar we drink in our soda are put away for fat

IT'S ALSO ALL THOSE FUCKING JEWS WHO PUSHED THAT "EATING FATTY FOODS MAKE YOU FAT, EAT AND DRINK OUR SUGAR SHIT INSTEAD"

wake up shepple
trutv.com/shows/adam-ruins-everything/blog/adams-sources/adam-ruins-weight-loss.html

Canada is like a dumber copy of the USA, with retards populating the frozen tundra.

>BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
>MUHH REGULATIONS

get the fuck over that fucking retarded liberal train of thinking

How would that help? They could spend the same as it costs to eat at the buffet at Mcdonalds instead, and get the same calories in an even less healthy package.

lol Ethiopia is doing a great job

>things cant exist just because they are popular
>DA JUICE MAKES BUFFEYS
>jew's are busing banking you fucking retard

I am amerilard, and let me tell you
our local ayce buffet is full of land whales

>Would banning all you can eat buffets help to solve America's obesity epidemic?
It might help, but the American processed food industry is killing us. Take any cracker or cornbread or bread based product. Overseas there's never any sugar in them. In America they're always loaded with addictive High Fructose Corn Syrup. Breakfast cereals, candy bars, colas, etc. is being pushed on us relentlessly with high frequency advertising.

The EBT cards for food stamps? You can't use them at Aldi or the produce stand. But you can use them to buy potato chips at the other grocery stores. We're seriously fucked and there nothing we can do about it.

The food in

start a garden, /out/ usually has a homegrow thread and if not check /diy

Banning anything won't save people from stupid. Taxing doesn't help either. People love food, hate exercise and work sedentary jobs.

no, we need more competition in the healthy food industry, and healthier alternatives competing in the service food industry. which is slowly happening.

Just ban hospitals instead. The problem solves itself.

>Behave like toddlers

>Think you don't need to be regulated

Your ancestors could live up to the personal accountability necessary for liberty. Modern burgers are eternal children, utterly dependent on the state but resenting it as a teenager resents its parents.

"You eat like whale!
It say, All you Can Eat Buffet, not You Can Eat All Buffet!
You go! You go now!"

solution: fat tax
>fatties get weighed at the checkout lines of restaurants and grocery stores
>a huge neon sign displays their weight, and a fog horn sounds until they leave the store if their BMI is over 25
>they also have to pay a flat 10% more per BMI point over 25 (waivers for athletes)
anyone that isn't shamed/financially ruined into losing weight is too degenerate to salvage
so after the first year we sell the remaining fatties to the chinese for experimentation/zoo display

do you know how you solve obesity?

People need to want to strive for an ideal, if they flat out, or atleast partially don't consider their health and appearance, then its impossible to convince them to cut the flab..
The image and aspiration of being healthy and in shape needs to be much higher in our society, but with such an unfocused, 'do what you want to satisfy the fulfilment itch' society we've developed, people will be their lazy self's and do what they want.
which for the undisciplined masses...
that means obese lazy hedonistic stimulation craving leeches .. hahahaha

The leaf gets it.

Seriously, what solves the obesity epidemic? Short answer: people grow the hell up and take some responsibility, learn some self control. Longer answer: eradicating debt-based "capitalism," and creating a society and economy based on actual free market economics, that gives the average person some fucking hope of having a halfway decent life, so they aren't despondent and forlorn, drowning their sorrows in gluttony of whatever sort.

Sad enough to think it's the government's job to slap the fork out of your hand when you've "had enough."

We have the right to be stupid user. Its a damn shame health care isn't entirely privatized so it would actually cull the fatties

Banning blacks would work better. Look at the demographic of who is fat in America.

no that is not the governments job. i don't want to live in a nanny state. you have to take the good with the bad or expect big government authoritarianism to solve your problems. it's fine in moderation, some people are stupid and go beyond moderation, educate them better i suppose that's all you can do. some people drink too much alcohol should the government ban that from all because a few abuse? why is it governments place again?

>banning safe food because it's too good and people want to eat too much of it

As a food scientist it amazes me that we have come to this point. How much better can we make food if people are already binge eating themselves into metabolic syndrome? It's literally so perfect and cheap that people have to look for all sorts of reasons to think it's bad and find excuses for wanting to eat too much of it.

Why ban something that I can truly enjoy a few times a month or year for the hedonistic lads that indulge every day and have become numb to it?

We don't believe in the government being our parents like you socialist faggots. If we want to stuff our fat faces at buffets, we're going to do it and fuck you

Why ban anything?

Just reject obese people from receiving government subsidized healthcare and charge them more for health insurance. Make them pay more for airplane tickets and be required to buy two or even three tickets if they can't contain their fat asses within the space of a single seat.

Make being obese such a financial burden that people don't be obese.

kek even whites amerilards are fat fucks.

New Zealand doesn't have All you can eat buffets and we are all still fat asf

Buffets aren't really that popular in America. Most Casino's have buffets but that's really only in Reno and Las Vegas, and there is Golden Corral. But Golden Corral isn't THAT popular. And most vegas buffets are extremely expensive.

I think the biggest thing is jobs where you sit on your ass all day. I think you burn 3-4 times as many calories just standing for 8 hours as opposed to sitting. Not to mention alcohol which is just empty calories in the first place. I eat pretty much anything I want and I'm 30, never work out, but have very low bmi and am very healthy. Why? All I drink is water, roughly a gallon a day

between home deliveries and their addiction to the electric jew, the tubbies will eat themselves to death in no time.

Never mind Adam, this is correct. Low fat diets have made us fat. Low fat means high carb, since protein is the most expensive macronutrient to produce. Also, low fat + sugar free = chemical shitstorm. Avoid.

Unless you dig holes or plow fields all day, your diet should be: High protein, moderate fat, lower carb. The exact ratios differ based on individual body composition, but a 65p/20f/15c breakdown is a good general place to start, for fat loss. Go 65/25/10 if you're more than about 60 lbs overweight.

Also, look up "metabolic resistance circuit training." It's basically weightlifting programs structured in an aerobics fashion. You lift fairly heavy weights, in sets that work different muscle groups, with basically no rest between each exercise, and maybe 90 seconds rest between each set. 4 days a week, 60 - 75 minutes per session, for three months, and you won't recognize the person in the mirror any longer, so long as you maintain a moderate caloric deficit while you do it. Cheat day once a month (don't go crazy) until you get below 15% BMI, then every other week.

Easy to understand, harder to implement, but definitely worth it.

>56.9% of black women are obese
>sheboons are not a meme
>niggers invent the "thicc" fetish out of necessity
yfw?

>But Golden Corral isn't THAT popular
With a certain group of Americans, it is.

>The "GMOs are bad" meme

This sounds like a good idea. Fatties don't give a damn about calories, but putting in place a system in which being fat outright makes living more costly would hopefully force them to stop eating like pigs.

Not to mention that the healthcare part would actually be quite viable.

This. Past a certain point, you can't keep blaming Big Junk Food. Every person in America is not overweight. Self control, or the lack of it, has to be recognized as a major factor in the land whale epidemic.

give tax breaks to people who buy raw ingredients and cook at home.

same time spent as a couple visits to a fast food chain to shop, and one untit of queueing at mcdonalds to prep meals for the whole day.

there is no excuse. fat people and any size person with clogged arteries are worse than druggies.

>New Zealand doesn't have All you can eat buffets
bullshit.
there's one in SkyCity and plenty more around Auckland.

We're on the same page, user.

Banning things doesn’t work. If it did, we wouldn’t have any drug addicts.

Only in California.

The obese people are usually the beaners, and they love Chinese buffets.

Whenever I go to an all you can eat buffet and see fat people I always wonder if the people running them think "We will lose money on this greedy cunt".....

Most casinos in Tunica, MS have buffets. If you know how to work the system, getting comped isn't that hard, and even without the comp, you're talking ~$20 per person. The food is at least two orders of magnitude above Golden Corral, because the casinos know that happy people gamble longer.

...

Rare to see a nipponese that fat.
