Most junk food is consumed in front of the TV.
Maybe they should ban TV :)

Overeating is a disgusting, filthy habit that should be taxed, regulated, or banned outright.

Good post. But I happen to believe the so-calle “poor” make bad choices about food and their lifestyles and that is what causes their obesity. I see them in the grocery store all the time and with their EBT cards they are spending WAY more than I do on food/necessities. If they have enough government credits to buy a 8 boxes of twinkies and 40 lbs. of frying chicken, they have enough to buy some vegetables and fruit. I just don’t see them doing it.

Your asking to much from this crowd regarding attempts at being “logical”. Not that they really would want to go down that route.

A lot of us non-smokers in AZ opposed the bans. We knew exactly what was coming next. No one listened.

What part of Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness don't they understand? They understand it and they hate it.

Why the heck would anyone want to cook 95% fat-free beef? Sticks to the pan.
But these losers will feel good about themselves, and that’s what counts, I guess.

Next will be regulating behavior that leads to obesity.Next is right. It is in the 0bamaCare law. Neighborhood monitors who will check your status.

Why not put special ‘food dispensers’ into every household... I'd recommend not giving them any ideas, but this has probably already been considered in some form.
Smart refrigerators? Like smart water meters, smart electric meters and smart gas meters.

That actually sounds good to me. Can’t do it right now though. Soon that may not be a choice.

I can’t wait until companies start NOT hiring overweight people and fire those who go over their regulated BMI....I’ll just sit back with my cigarette and laugh and laugh....and then I’ll cry...
We’ve all been warning people for years and barely anyone listened....well, here’s you sign (channeling Bill Engvall)
