Hopefully, they don’t base this charge on BMI, which can be deceptively high in some fit people. They must make sure people are actually FAT, first.

Apart from that, I see no problemo. Like it or not, genuinely overweight people (I am one of them at this time) are more likely to have certain ailments (heart disease, IIRC, diabetes, and so on). Belly fat apparently secretes toxic compounds into the body, as well. So, there can be an imperative to charge genuinely overweight people more, as they are likely to require more healthcare.

As for the nitwits suing McDonalds and Wendy’s, or government regulating trans fats, I still say, up your nose with a rubber hose! Now pass the baconator, please.

Try telling these NFL players that they are “fat”. I would love to see social engineering libs get their butts kicked. Tell them to their face with a camera rolling. Here is the Dallas Cowboys’ roster. Everyone has a BMI over 30 except for the kickers. You can torture the data to make it say whatever you want in order to achieve a political objective. It’s not that hard.
