While I don't agree with making kids get surgery or take weight loss drugs
Holy actually reasonable Batman!
this is just typical conservative bullshit that places the onus on individuals and completely ignores the complex economic social and environmental factors that contribute to the problem.
And the typical progressive response blames everything on external factors and makes everyone out to be victims and ignores personal agency. Things aren't so black and white.
Who is responsible for our lifestyles? Who is going to change it? We are largely, and we will. Parents let their kids watch tv and play on their phones and Playstations all day while eating junk, how do you change that? Limit their screen time, feed them better food. The excuse that "healthy food is just too expensive" is a bunch of nonsense. A bag of lettuce is $3. A half-dozen bananas is like $1.50. Apples aren't expensive. A bag of baby carrots for snacks isn't that expensive, no more than a bag of chips. Less educated parents make less educated decisions, and their fat arses can't stop eating chips and cookies either.
There are obviously some environmental factors, like school buses instead of walking to school (evil cars), and junk food in the cafeteria, but this is largely a problem created by our own lifestyle choices, and kids are fatter today than 50 years ago largely because parents aren't making the right choices for their tots.
