I am sure this will go nowhere, but it sure makes me question the quality (and perhaps sanity) of the people leading us. Although I tend to agree with you, I suppose in fairness, one should also note that one's wallet is raided regularly to pay for the consequences of other people's obesity. When you have meet a few 30 year olds on disability because of obesity, and realise that they now sit and do nothing while collecting a paycheck for life, it kind of irritates me. What I would support is anyone on social support money needs to be in weightloss classes and their progress there is linked to the continued arrival of support checks. It is beyond belief that someone getting obese entitles them to perpetual support at the expense of other taxpayers. Not to mention the greatly increased healthcare costs which everyone shoulders as well. It is the old problem of freedom vs responsibility when society links us all together.
