obesity also costs insurance companies for treatment
the USGovt is about to label obesity as a disease
and free up federal money for treatment

once again, TYRANNY OF THE NEW MAJORITY

I find them disgusting
I call them "obeasts"

all part of the 3-part US consumption addiction

1. material consumption (cluttered basement, attic, garage with junk, toys, throwaways)

2. SUV's consume 10-15 mpg (now 45% of new vehicle purchases)

3. fatty food (with couch potato lazy lifestyle)

a friend just returned from a 10-day trip to Italy with two of his friends
they were concerned that one fat guy would not keep up
he had great trouble
but all the activity led to some weight loss
he went down from 270 to 260 lbs
these fat guys are not only stupid eaters, but lazy hogs
he suffers from hemorrhoids also

so nature backfires
imagine what comes out of that unholy pore !!!
