The CDC just classified obesity as an epidemic and said that the current generation will have a shorter lifespan than their parents. IT'S STARTING!!!! Right now, they are saying that fat people are a health risk to themselves (just like the did with smokers). Next, it will be "proven" that they expel more carbon monoxide and methane because of their size and are a health risk to others and the hole in the ozone, and they will be shunned (just like smokers). With the shrinking number of American farms, their appetites are no longer tolerable......2 days community service and 5 days of prison food for each pound they are overweight should slim them down if they can't do it on their own! If that doesn't work, there's nothing left to do but put a bounty on 'em!
