I cannot believe someone who post on FR is proud to be a FACIST.

Look up Godwin's Law when you get the chance. You know, I've actually known some real-honest-to-god fascists in my day, and it humors me to no end that some lunatics on FR think that it's "fascist" to discourage and limit the effects of the single most preventable cause of death in the developed world. If that's all that "fascists" did, the world would be a lot better place.

"The single most preventable cause of death"

Well, I don't believe that, but if it were it would not be of any public concern to save me from myself. Hmm..please public and government..don't let me put that Frito in my mouth.

THIS has overcome smoking as the nation's number killer.  Or are you just focused on smokers?

Health costs of obesity exceed smoking and drinking

Treating obesity-related disorders costs as much or more than illnesses caused by aging, smoking and problem drinking. 

Obesity on track as No. 1 killer

Studies:  Obesity Worse Than Tobacco Smoking

OBESITY LINKED TO HIGHER RATES OF CHRONIC ILLNESS AND WORSE PHYSICAL
QUALITY OF LIFE THAN SMOKING, DRINKING OR POVERTY
THREE OF FIVE ADULT AMERICANS ARE OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE

Study by RAND

"with worse physical health-related quality of life than are lifetime smoking, problem drinking or poverty."

Health & Science: Surgeon general warns obesity may overtake tobacco as leading preventable killer

And the list goes on!

The most prevalent cause of death (besides living way too long) is getting into an automobile.

Why don't you ply your wares on that if you are sincere.

The single most preventable cause of death is stupidity.

It should be followed by @ssholeism.

Yep, fascism is great if it is done by the right ruler. Just like socialism being a great system, it just hasn't been the right people in charge.
