It's not our government's responsibility to ensure people don't get fat.

Someone should... we all get stuck paying higher health insurance due to their higher bills, paying for ****ing stomach staples or whatever that shit is, etc........ i would imagine some people have even snuck into being "disabled" due to obesity (although maybe not labled as "obese").... i hear it is hard to walk when your pussy is below your knees....

Maybe if all businesses had surcharges for obesity that would help? I thought I remembered the airlines were going to do that??
