The elephant in the room has an obvious solution
The problem is that we're getting big, like elephants. The solution is for supermarkets to stop selling lifetime memberships that allow people to pay one low fee and then get all the food they want for the rest of their lives. Instead, if you want more food, then you pay for more food.

I know, it's probably contrary to our values. What next? Only the rich get to eat? Sorry.

2. One would get a pair of running shoes that fit one's mind,
and begin walking, running, etc.

What and how much we eat isn't the only thing that contributes to the elephant. Lack of athletic physical activity and lack of athletic mental activity also contribute to the elephant.
