Substitute __________ (fill in the blank, whatever you want), into the anti-tobacco playbook, it will work.

Why should my tax dollars go to pay for the lard ass who can't stay away from BK Whoppers and the KFC drive thru window. As a taxpayer, I am paying for his/her diabetic testing equipment and high blood pressure meds.

I won't stand for it. Then these stinky people have the nerve to stick their fleshy elbows in my ribs for 3 hours on an airline flight. I want action. Second hand obesity is not only annoying, it's a killer to my wallet.

Food for thought:

A fetus grows with insufficient vitamin D and the newborn continues with deficient D status and cows milk (which is high in saturated fat). The baby is then given copious amounts of high fructose corn syrup and the process of destroying the natural phospholipid status of cell membranes is complete. The child can never achieve proper levels of muscle synthesis until the cell membranes have been remodeled via dramatic reductions in non-omega 3 fatty acids (omega 6, saturated fats and trans-fats) and dramatic increases in omega 3 fatty acids.

Do we blame the ignorant parents, the the ignorant children, the ignorant physicians, the ignorant dieticians, the sold out scientists at the NIH or the food producers?

I was 6’2”, 180 pounds, 55 years old, and running 6 minute miles when I discovered I was diabetic. Modern western humans lose 1% of their muscle mass each year from age 30. This metabolic meltdown does not begin with being lazy and gluttonous. The modern diet elicits muscle starvation and carbohydrate craving long before it becomes symptomatic as obesity and diabetes. People are inclined to eat more because their muscles are starving and a glucagon signaling apparatus tells them to continue eating.
