Just what we need, more government control

[Perndog]

If people really want to be healthy they will do their homework, educate themselves, and do it. If they are unhealthy and/or obese, it is their own damn fault, no matter what.

Re: uninformed choices. They can vote for whoever they want, right? Are most voters sufficiently informed? No. But they can still do it. So let them eat what they want, too.

Re: "the fattest fucking country in the [world]" The fact that a lot of people in America are fat sure as hell shouldn't mean that everyone's lifestyles are restricted. I don't know about you, but my personal identity isn't affected by the average weight of the population of this country. I don't care if 90% of Americans end up morbidly obese; why the fuck would that be the problem of the rest of us? I would appreciate it if there were more fat chicks so I could pick out the ones worth my attention at a glance instead of having to waste time talking to the hot airheads.

Re: public health care. This is the real problem. I don't do politics, so I can't offer an educated solution. I say privatized health care only, but in any case I do know that I'd rather pay more money for the government to maintain the fat bastards than be unable to eat freely.
