Before you know it, socialists like the Dear Leader will consider hiring government work-out specialists, and require everyone in America to muster and do calisthenics every morning. Then they'll tax citizens based on body fat percentage. I wonder what the workout uniform will look like? I'm looking forward to the day when we all wear the same gray drab pants, shirts and jackets and all have either the standard male or standard female haircuts. More than that, I'm really looking forward to the day when only a few government offices are allowed computers and I won't have to read this paranoid crap any more. Thank you so much Dear Leader.

Sounds like a great idea! Then they'll tax citizens based on body fat percentage. Could be an expansion of the cap and charade greenhouse gas system. Everyone is allowed a BMI of say 29 as 30 and over is obese. All obese people can then be taxed. Those with low BMIs can sell index points to those with higher BMIs. The allowable BMI will be reduced over a period of years and everyone will be healthier as well as wealthier from trading BMI index points.
