Their remarks are further evidence of the coarsening of society.

...On the other hand, they do ALSO show what happens when we have socialized (nationalized) medicine. Obesity is very expensive when it comes to Medicare dollars; when "we" pay for others' health services, they don't pay the true cost and therefore don't pay attention to the long term health concerns & fiscal effects.

This makes the subsidizers (taxpayers) angry.

If they paid their own way, tied cost-to-choice, and paid higher insurance while eating heavy-calorie foods, no one would care - or make nasty comments...

Do you really think that these morons have enough brain cells to contemplate the cost of obesity to the taxpayers in a semi-socialized medicine society? I DON'T THINK SO!
