I heard another thing on the radio a few weeks back where fat people may actually end up costing less for the society.
How so you may ask? Well, they die quicker, so you don't have to hand out a lot of cash for retirement and other 'treatments' which arrive with old age, and which apparently may well be more costly then treatments one needs when young and fat.
Food for thought...

Really want to save our country money!!!
Stop letting people have kids they cant afford and everyone else has to pay for!!
Im with the article on fat people too, I see them at McDonald's ordering a Big Mac, Fries, and Coke...SuperSized oh... sorry Diet Coke cause you know that off sets the Big Mac and Fries!! Then they drive around the parking lot of Wal-Mart for 20 Mins looking for a space that is as close as you can get to the doors. I mean heaven forbid they park further out and walk, they might loose some weight!! Then you see the shopping cart and its filled with crap I wouldn't feed my neighbors dog...btw I hate my neighbors dog!!

i would guess maybe 2% of the fat people are that way naturally (bad thyroid is the usual bs story but we'll say 2% are legit).... the other 98% are just overeating and / or not getting enough activity / exercise, etc....
I like when they blame it on the fast food companies, etc.... or sue the airlines or movie theaters because their huge ass won't fit into a seat....
most of my tenants are fat, lazy, overeating, porch sitting, xbox360 playing beasts.....I think they sweat fried chicken.....

Somebody explain this to me... the thyroid excuse... the thyroid (or lack thereof) does not manufacture body mass. Body mass comes from shoving crap in your mouth. That has always just sounded like such a BS story to me.
