Health, fitness, gains and wellbeing

Yea can’t really tax the food because anyone with an eating disorder isn’t going to fix their lifestyle just because junk is more expensive. The type of food matters, but for the very obese the problem is about the portions as much or more as the type

There’s still enough healthy foods that taste good enough for a person with an eating disorder to binge on even if junk weren’t available

A lifestyle tax would be a tough sell to muh freedom Americans. But I always wondered about some kind of tax rebate or free healthcare offered for those to conform to a certain standard of health

But then it gets muddled because how do we determine the standard? BMI is a bad marker, according to BMI a college football player is “obese” from their amount of muscle. vo2max would be great but is difficult to routinely measure, I believe it needs fancy equipment and a treadmill or some kind of workout simulator. Maybe fat caliper clippers or a dexascan to determine fat could work. But there can be a very skinny person, like a crack addict, who is far from healthy and just as much of a drain on healthcare
