minus-squareFuglyDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 years agoThe obesity epidemic is complex and blaming it on any single issue is never going to solve it. Further it should be noted that Europe with its vaunted walkable cities (a good thing, really,) is also having its own problem with a rise in obesity. As I said, would it help? Probably. But it’s not a solution.
