Ok? This doesn't _make_ anyone obese, while sitting on a train next to a COVID+ person gives you a pretty high likelihood of getting COVID.
That is, unless there's some new research that shows that simply seeing sugary deserts can turn people obese.

??????
> All ice-cream manufacturers?
Should they stop marketing towards children? Absolutely. Again, I'm not entirely sure what you're going for here so I'm really just inserting a suggestion.
> What about smoking? Smoking kills 10 million per year, COVID is a pittance by comparison.
In the US but we have effectively banned indoor smoking on those grounds. In ATX you're not even allowed to smoke within (if I'm remembering the numbers correctly) 30 ft of an openable window of a business. Because it directly impacts people's health. Like spreading COVID does.
> 1 million die from the effects of second hand smoke - which can come off of clothes, even imperceptibly.
That's terrible, we should curb smoking if this is proven to be the case.
> Best to know about it, and give them a wide berth. Eg, probably a good idea ban them from going into shops at all. And from buying food, starve them out of the habit, eh?
what the fuck are you on about? root was talking about how people need to accept that they've contributed to the pandemic through their inaction, not advocating for barring people from shops. that's ridiculous.
> As such, I'll be giving you and folks like you a wide berth myself
I'm impressed- you've seemingly judged my entire character based on a single-sentence comment. Have you considered pursuing a career as a judge?
> though I wouldn't go as far as restricting your ability to feed yourself.
how gracious
