Nice work Cathryn.

Now, watch the Crusade on fat people roll.

Same arguments, similar legislation.

If the health effects of smoking are detrimental to the work place vis a vis health care cost and loss productivity, the same arguments will hold water for obesity...whatever the final definition of obesity may be.

The IRS already got the ball rolling by defining obesity as a disease, and allowing peole to deduct diet plans, helth club memberships, etc. from their taxes.

Same arguments, similar legislation.

But you forgot to mention same players and same money.

Not only are some of the sharks, oops I mean lawyers, that have started the lawsuits against the fast food chains the same ones that targetted the tobacco industry, they are bragging about how they are using that experience and money to get the next ball rolling.

Additionally, the RWJFoundation is kicking money into that battle and also against the alcohol industry.
