What are you going to CAPS ON about next, people like me?  I'm 6'3, 195 so you can't hammer on me about being fat, but my cholesterol is over 300.  I'm also borderline with high blood pressure........are you going to demand that laws be passed forcing me to take certain medications and exercising a certain amount every day so as to save your insurance premiums? 

What's the endgame associated with your opinions?  If I can't prove I've eaten healthy and I have a heart attack at 42, my insurance won't pay my medical bills?

Who enforces your opinions about people's health?  The government?  Insurance companies?  Or do we just use vitriolic peer pressure and name calling like the brunt of posts on this thread.

Who enforces your opinions about people's health?

I would hope the people themselves would look at their own conscience....about themselves and for their kids sake.

No, but if one is obese, what's wrong with having premiums reflect the risk the same way they do for people who smoke? Certain behaviors do increase risk. What's wrong with having people pay more for consquences of their behavior? Not to mention socking people in the wallet may be a better deterent than having the state shake its finger at them.
