Remember when NYC (Bloomberg era) tried to ban big gulps?

Science is clear that the obese are more likely to have heart problems and hence I'd support the weight loss mandate, I'm overweight as well and it would help me get of my ass and work out. I know there would be a lot of outrage over it both from conservative and liberals. Conservatives like to say 'my body my choice' when it comes to them but just not women or trans people. I don't consider the mandate itself to be fat shaming but if there is a mandate like that the society will slowly become more intolerant towards obese because they'd think we are working out daily to keep our weight and they are just lazy or something like that.

this has nothing to do with a vaccine against a communicable disease. we’ve done this before countless times (polio, whooping cough, etc.) and we’ll go through it again

yeah. vaccine mandates are not "new normal" they are just normal normal and most of doctors support getting vaccinated but I guess they trust their pastors more than doctors.

I too am all for the spirit of a weight loss mandate. Though, I'd be against it for fear of how it would be mishandled or misused.

I'm intrigued how would it be mishandled?

Trying to implement some one size fits all system that would be unhealthy for some to follow.

Only if science conflicts with your "narrative" ya crazy fucko. Do your research, but only on your Facebook groups. Ya got ya freedoms, ya got ya freedoms. Salvia rocketship. Post!

They believe it hurts science because they believe the people who are "questioning" and misrepresenting the science. Nothing has changed on the science. Only difference is stronger political division has allowed anti-science ideas to become more widespread.

Wait wouldn't the outrage come from the same people who are outraged about vaccine mandates?
Like hell there should be a sugar tax, some foods should be banned and fruits and vegetables should subsidized. We should also have healthy school lunches provided for kids so they start out with healthy habits.
It's Republicans who don't want any of these things.........

if you ignore the science on medicine, mandating medicine isn’t for medical reasons, it’s obviously for some unseen culture war.
