E Wi 2: Measures to fight the obesity epidemic by Andreas Kramer https://padlet.com/kramer47/mv16oxkfjyegbxnd en-us 2021-02-04 07:15:28 UTC 2024-05-29 02:54:32 UTC hello@padlet.com Make unhealthy food a lot more expensive (taxes) https://padlet.com/kramer47/mv16oxkfjyegbxnd/wish/1162432695 In our opinion there should be an extreme raise on taxes for sugary and extremly unhealthy foods and drinks. Studies have already shown that this strategy is working to reduce obesity by a decent amount. Another great measure that is a little more difficult to realise would be to find a good way to motivate and incentivize children and young adults to work out more and generally do more sport or oudoor activities in their spare time

You can teach children how to cook easy healthy food or how to buy healthy food. Also, the Parents should be included to these subjects support their children in doing exercises or eating healthy food. A good and healthy environment for the child helps a lot to develop them.

To fight obesity in America, a good point is to look at their childhood, especially schools. Many schools have a snack machine with a wide variety of unhealthy foods. In our opinion, one solution would be to provide healthy food through snack machines so it would be the only way for students to have snacks during their school time, is through healthy foods.]]> 2021-02-04 07:57:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kramer47/mv16oxkfjyegbxnd/wish/1162439447 Educate obese people: inform them about risks https://padlet.com/kramer47/mv16oxkfjyegbxnd/wish/1162439913 In our opinion you should help the obese people more. You have to give them instructions how to buy good and healthy food. You should teach more, what you should eat, what it cost and how you make it. We think the most of the obese people don’t really know how to cook good and healthy food. You also can raise the taxes on the unhealthy food. Just show them what happened when you don’t eat healthy, show them that you die really easy of non-healthy food. Bring the kids toghether with the adults and teach them together how to do healthy.

A high amount of fat and sugar supports hearth diseases and it can also support cancer. It seems like it is the most effective way to fight against obesity and sick children. A law like this should also include a regulation for school meals.]]> 2021-02-04 08:01:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kramer47/mv16oxkfjyegbxnd/wish/1162451547 To make Fast Food and unhealthy snacks more expensive https://padlet.com/kramer47/mv16oxkfjyegbxnd/wish/1162453476 in my opinion fast food is to cheap and unhealthy that everybody rather would buy that instead of helthy food, cause they save money. I do the same, when I am hungry and I see a fast food restorant i dont think twice to buy me food from there. If we would balance the prices there would be less people who would buy unhealthy food. It is and quick and cheap meal, but if it is more expensive most of the people would not buy it anymore.]]> 2021-02-04 08:01:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kramer47/mv16oxkfjyegbxnd/wish/1162453476 A trafiklight for food https://padlet.com/kramer47/mv16oxkfjyegbxnd/wish/1162454772 this would show how healthy or unhealthy something is so everybody can decide if they wanna buy something or not based on the level of healthiness. I also think that this idea is easy too implement because you only need a extra sticker or symbol on the already existing packaging]]> 2021-02-04 08:02:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kramer47/mv16oxkfjyegbxnd/wish/1162454772 More school: Inform children in school about food https://padlet.com/kramer47/mv16oxkfjyegbxnd/wish/1162461342 Our group decided that the best measure to tackle early obesity of children is to teach them in a proper age, which food is healthy and good for them, and which is not.

We should also tell them about the health risks that too much calories cause. For example, being overweight causes your whole body to work harder, which leads to a higher chance of heart diseases.

If products with sugare are more expensive  maybe people would buy less and they would buy natural sugar to save money. Sweets should also be banned at schools. We should also make fast food and unhealthy snacks more expensive to make it buy fewer people
