People here seem to value fat shaming so I think it’s valuable to mention it doesn’t help. Reposting a reply I made:
Portugal legalized drugs and made them safer to use and... people were generally healthier and better off.[1]
People have unhealthy habits because of issues in their life. Poverty, abuse, mental health issues, lack of access to healthcare and healthy foods.
If you want people to get better you need to stop vilifying them, e.g fat shaming or war on drugs, and start accepting and helping them. Same for drugs, same for weight, hell, I’d say it’s the same for many “criminals” too.
