Sugar pills for everyone. You can’t deny the placebo effect.

Exactly. I am amazed that nobody figured this out before. Smokers die. Fat people die. They don’t linger in nursing homes complaining about their bunions to anyone who will listen. If you want to smoke or be huge its your right. Of course its your right to regular food and clean air as well. But the government has no business in the decision.

Can you post the pictures of the Hardees Monster Burgers or Sandwiches? I do not have the tech-savy knowledge to do so and they would be a fitting piece to this article. Thank you very much./Just Asking - seoul62........

“It costs more to care for healthy people who live years longer...”

Translation.... Hitlery care: Get fat and die -— it’s cheaper!

Somebody over at National Review did an article about this a few years back. Everybody thought it was a joke.

But it all balances out because they won't insure you if you're fat or smoke - go figure.

PS: Ever spent time around a "nursing home"?
Ever spent time around an alzheimer's facility?
