If you go to just about any other country in the world, you'll be amazed at the lack of fatties compared to here. We are so used to blubber that we get desensitized to it when in reality we really are a country full of slobs who care little about what they put in their bodies and live a sedentary lifestyle. That said it shouldn't be the government's job to police this. If someone wants to be an unhealthy pig and eat way too much, its their own fault. Let them suffer the consequences of gluttony and inactivity. Its all about the personal responsibility.

It seems to be somewhat State related.
I spent a week in California's Silicon Valley area recently and there were very few fatties.
States like Texas and Georgia seem to have their share of tonnage.. ;)
