[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]

Yeah that’s what I was going to say. Obesity is a huge factor of most chronic health issues. WE as a society pay for that when their care drives up healthcare costs for all. [/quote]

I feel that way about smoking and vaping. And unlike consumption of food, it’s not necessary. But if we cared about health care costs we’d ban all this and extreme processed foods. It’s easier to blame individuals than take meaningful action so there is no need for “discipline” (which is bullshit as we are not all equal when it comes to addiction)[/quote]

We also need to eliminate food deserts and redesign our communities so we are less car dependent. Also change work culture, and ultra wealthy agree to fund universal basic income so folks don't need to work multiple jobs just to get by.[/quote]
I’m all for high taxes in exchange for healthcare and education and environmental things, but universal income just doesn’t work with human nature. Jobs need to pay people a living wage instead. Why should a corporation get rich paying folks $7/hr when the govt then has to pay them too? [/quote]

Governments are corporations. The largest corporation in every country is the government. [/quote]
