No need for individual responsibility. It's not your fault. We'll take care of it for you. Just give us money

Just give us money

That's what it boils down to. Do you really expect an organization called the "International Congress on Obesity" to declare that "all is well; carry on as usual. In fact, we'll just disband because we're no longer needed"?

In other words - "It's Bush's Fault!"

Come on, everybody, you know the tune!

But if you smoke--we will ban your nasty "habit" because we have rights. We will force you to partake in your bad habit only in your home (until we can ban that too).

What goes around comes around. I think we need supervised government intervention and exercise for the fatties. Shut down the fast food places and make 'em the next money boon for the states. Make 'em pay and make the tubby's suffer by banning all fast food and forcing them to cook in their own home.

It is only for THEIR good we do this.
