[QUOTE="Johnnyvee, post: 1458080, member: 13195"] Just imagine what could have been done in terms of reducing infectious disease and with improving health in the population in general, if we put as much emphasis on combatting obesity and poor metabolic health as we did vaccines and masks etc. Imagine the same intensity of nagging, with signs everywhere, public announcements on buses and trams etc, the media constantly talking about these issues and also with measures involving the tax system and agricultural practices and so on being promoted to obtain this goal. It would have an enormously positive impact and every aspect of human health and a whole host of other things like sustainability, environment, the economy, animal wellbeing, the survival of bees and probably many other things as well.
