>> this is NUTS and just plain wrong.
I agree.
All kidding aside, here’s how I see it. You want to eat and get fat — including really really fat — go for it!
On the other hand, fat people should exercise some responsibility to go along with their liberty and the choice they made. In other words, someone’s obesity is NOT a “disease”, for which they get special-victim-class treatment, free motor scooters, free stomach stapling, special parking places, and so on. And, if it costs more for health care because you choose to be really fat, then YOU pay for it. Not everyone else. If you take up two freaking airline seats, that’s YOUR problem, so buy two!
And certainly, taxpayers ought not to be on the hook to take extra special care of fat people. It is a lifestyle choice, not a disease.
Just my 2c.
I agree; in all things, moderation and responsibility (extremes and excess are never healthy).
