minus-square@funkless_ecklinkEnglish2•1 month agoit’s interesting to me that you see childhood obesity as “an absence of military training” and not such things as lack of support for health education in schools lack of health meal choices for school cafeterias lack of free support materials for parents subsidies and support for low income families to get access to fresh and healthy foods tariffs on high fat and high sugar foods regulation on grocery store prices more free activities for young people subsidized sports programs and facilities etc etc “oh that’s expensive” the us military spends $64,000 per second every second.

Then I also said that getting to that point is a failing of the state. You don’t know where I stand on any of those points because we weren’t talking about it. I don’t really care what the US military spends per second.
