Son of a gun,I was just going to ping you---man you are quick----now I'll read the article.
Later!
Boy, are you in for it. Posting an article against fatness. Don't you know being fat is a sign of prosperity?
Man,what's with thos southern states?
God,it's nice to see them go after someone else besides the smokers.
Now maybe the fatties at work will get off my case about my occasional smoking...
I win the Trifecta!
I'm almost 45 years old, have an almost 7 year old child, am 5'10" and weigh about 115.............I seriously don't think I have to worry about any of this crapola. Neither does hubby...........he put in a 12 hour day today at work, and after he changed his clothes spent over an hour chasing frisbees with the above mentioned child.
did I mention we are both smokers????????

Insert Hillary Care and say goodbye to all choice and freedom. Not a single area of existence left to individual freedom and liberty.
So, I have a BMI of 53, and should be dead, according to this article.
I am the dood on the right, below - the one on the left is my father.
Yes there are problems with obesity however at the same time I think the insurance companies are playing this for all it's worth in order to have a reason to up insurance rates. I can not help but notice all this talk about evil fatties and evil smokers and what it costs to insure them and not one mention about homosexuals and the cost of treating AIDS. It's a bit of a double standard don't you think? I also see a trend developing to make it ok to not employ fat people because of the additional cost to group health plans but I do not see the same standard applied to gays.
OMG - We'll have to close all the restaurants and supermarkets and register all tableware.
Just another excuse by the insurance industry for high premiums.
Here we go. I can just see it now. Bans on everything pleasurable to eat...for your own good, of course. Better start stocking up on nonperishable goodies before they become unavailable.
Will this cause a prohibitive "Big Mac Tax?"
Now we're gonna see companies refusing to hire people who eat in their off-time.
I've read of a handful of studies linking reading and eye disease (glasses).
The cost of a lifetime of eye glasses and Dr. appointments must easily top the costs of smoking and obesity combined.
The only solution is to ban newspapers and force everyone to listen to talk radio.
Off with my head
I say we push all the fat smoke nazis right down their own slippery slope.
