Full coverage for weight-loss drugs like Wegovy/Zepbound
In fact, make it mandatory, or at least incentivize people to use these medications.
Punish or fine people for spreading misinformation about weight loss, and other health related topics.
Too many memetubers and tiktokers rotting the brains of not just children, but adults trying to get good information on how to better themselves.
Federally-funding gyms or just gyms that are aided by the government so prices are much much lower.
These are the key ways we could eliminate obesity in this country.
>inb4 but big pharma will just lose money!
Obesity (keeping fat people alive) in and of itself is more expensive than having healthier sexier people.
The amount of drugs needed every day of every month outweighs the price of glp-1's; there's no contest.
A healthier population, a more sane population, would only increase overall productivity.
The current system is just bad, and backwards, if anything.

I have given this topic a lot of thought having grown up in a rural area with an obesity rate higher than the national average.
>point 1 - obesity is so common in many areas that it has reached a critical mass (pun intended) of being a cultural norm. There are many areas of the country where if you are less than 300lbs, people will think you are too skinny. If all your coworkers are fat, all your friends are fat, all your family members are fat, and you are just living on Planet Ham, that is a tough spot from which to escape, or even start thinking that being fat might not be a good idea in the first place. The cultural messaging that being fat is acceptable, and that one can be fat without massive health risks, must end. I have no idea how to accomplish this through policy but some public-health campaigns about 'health does not exist at every size' would be a nice start.
>point 2 - again speaking about rural areas, in many parts of the country it is easy and cheap to buy ultraprocessed goyslop but fresh/good-quality/inexpensive meats and vegetables cannot be found. Tax the shit out of goyslop, sodas, etc. and use that revenue to subsidize the price of veggies, meat, taters, rice, etc.
