so what!!!!! I pay for car insurance too due to those who have accidents...should we ban those as well. I still have not heard from you about your perfection. God it must be awesome to be you.
The defense of obesity on this forum is truly humerous.
I can't think of another serious health condition that could be more easily prevented. Food isn't even addictive.
I'm sorry; you'll get no sympathy on this one from me. You want to jack up your body in a way that leads to so many health problems, go right ahead, but don't expect me to desire to pay for it down the road.
If you have sickle cell, fine. Nothing you could do to prevent that. Same thing with breast cancer, for the most part. But people who don't have the discipline to maintain an exercise routine/stable diet aren't winning the same level of respect. People weren't obese 50, even 20 years ago. No excuse for it now.
Oh I hate that I am so under control, but please explain yourself on your little crack about breast cancer. Please explain "Same thing with breat cancer, to a point". Do you really think that breast cancer is controlled? What medical place do you work at so I stay away. You are down right scary. I don't even know you and I feel so sorry for you. Oh, sorry that must be pity.
Junk food is already expensive in Canada...
This is already being mandated through the Model School Nutrition Program in schools. The Healthy People 2010 program intends to mandate this across the board to eliminate health disparities by 2010.
I'm so glad my daughter will graduate from highschool in 2007!
LOL! No kidding!
I thought you were going to jump on poor Teddy who, IMHO, defines "most obsenely obese."
Have you ever seen a painting of Henry the VIII? You are immensely condecending. I am glad that you are perfect and I am certain that you are void of any flaws. Wow.
I am not defending obesity, I am just asking at what point does it stop? If an insurance company can take your weight into account individually as a way to determine your individual insurance cost, shouldn't they also be able to take into account other things like your family health history, ethnicity, genetic make up etc? I don't think anyone would be for that. So, what would you propose is a fair and equitable solution for everyone?
LOL! Well, between The Diver and Michael Moore it's kind of a toss up. I'm glad I'm not the engineer on the stage crew that has to host them both simultaneously.

Now, the only REAL Coke you can get comes from Mexico.
I'm sure if the liberals could get away with it, they'd have the BBC buy PBS and NPR and force all Americans to pay the BBC's annual TV tax and have TV detector vans in America. That would make PBS the REAL BBC America.
