    Fatphobia energy should be redirected into carbohydrate education. We ban cigarettes not smokers. Teach overweight people their problem is all the carbs in their diet (sugar, soda, pizza, candy, etc).

      Just yesterday I was discussing this issue with my wife. Here we have “Physical Education” in schools, which is mostly kids doing exercises or some kind of sport activity in school, a couple of hours per week. This is surely fine, but I’d also like kids being taught the right way to eat, things to avoid, things to limit… I think it would be an investment for the future, which could avoid a lot of problems related to bad eating habits.

          I’m pretty positive that, although teacher may casually mention it, that’s not a specific topic in school. And it should be.
