Well, sure. If we don’t get murdered by criminals, we are all going to die from some health related thing, and that includes complications from obesity.

But my government does not have a Constitutional duty to protect my health while it DOES have a constitutionally delineated duty to protect me from foreign invaders and my state government should protect me from criminals.

The fact that so many people want to make “health care” a right is disturbing.

Yes, though that was not my point. Yet as part of national character (see my linked articles in comment #1) then it is indeed related to national security. For one, 77% of youth today do not qualify for the military, obesity being reason #1.
