Large numbers of Fatties can only exist because of excessive government

medicaid and undo the tax benefits of non qualifying group health insurance
programs and make the fatties pay for true risks and consequences of their
own health problems they would see the skinny real fast.

I doubt it. They would just whine louder. After all, they
truly don't believe it's their own fault.


We don't need to
raise taxes on fast food or regulate what people eat. We simply must do less
and let individuals do more for themselves.


How about letting individuals be less subjected to food
advertisements 24/7? How about lowering the tariff
protection on sugar, so it's a bit less profitable to push
the stuff into everything?



The American health care system is not the problem, for it is the best in
the history of the world. It is American health that is the problem which is
the result of lifestyle choices and the removal of responsibility.


It's also the result of the profit motive: large
corporations are making lots of money convincing Americans
to eat more, thus becoming larger corporally.
