Pathetic isn’t this.The people who squealed their approval of smoking bans are now seeing what it will lead to. My local paper had a letter about how the government has the “right to take food out of your throat” by banning trans fats (her words) because “her” tax dollars go to pay for health care of people who eat unhealthy. I seriously have been wondering when there will be a lawsuit about this because there are clearly “favored” unhealthy lifestyles that are exempt from bans. I’d be curious to have someone do a “freakonomics” analysis of the relative health care costs of: 1) Unprotected gay sex 2)teenage pregnancy 3) fat non-smokers 4) people who don’t smoke and eat right, but who have horrible genetic predisposition to disease and compare it to the cost of being a smoker, minus of course the taxes already paid by smokers.
I forgot #5, the REAL health care dollar absorbers, old people. Compare a transfat eating 20 year old smoker and and an 85 year old FDR lovin’ nanny stater and see just how much $ they cost the health care system.

Sounds a lot like Hillary and the rest of the dumbocrats, doesn’t it?
