[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a problem because inevitably non obese shell out billions of dollars to compensate for the incredible drain obese people are on our society.[/quote]

We get obese working long hours at assigned seats in office buildings that we can't walk to from where we live.  But we produce plenty of market value before interventions are required.

Eating garbage food also fattens the profits of the fast food industry and most food conglomerates.  This also has contributed to economic growth as the agriculture sector has been transformed by this change in consumer habits.

You're only looking at the externalities and not the full accounting.

RTO takes personal commute time people could devote to exercise and reassign it to a polluting, sedentary pastime.  Yet many conservatives believe RTO is "productive".

You cannot blame people for every consequence of our obesogenic culture.[/quote]
I drive 45 minutes each way, to an office where I sit for 9+ hours, 5 days a week, and I am not even remotely close to overweight. Take responsibility for your choices.[/quote]

You better pray you never have to take a medication that causes severe weight gain. You will have to drop that attitude fast. [/quote]

How many medications cause "severe weight gain" and what are they being used to treat?  DP: but I believe in finding the root cause of my health issues, and fixing it rather than just continuing to medicate away my life and cause so many problems.  
Because other than cancer meds, I'm not sure I'd take them

Dp: So you are saying you'd rather die than gain weight?[/quote]

Nope!  But I'd like to hear what meds cause massive weight gain and what they are used to treat?   Because yes I'd take them for cancer, but for many other issues I prefer to solve the actual problem, not just put a huge band aid on (pills) that often cause more extensive issues

It's called common sense
