Well its shameful that obesity is a choice in " many cases " overeating and being sedentary , that choice makes the cost of healthcare higher for normal weight folks , like myself ! I'm paying for a bunch of out of control no personal responsibility gluttons ...cost of healthcare should go by the individuals BMI ...what should I pay for an obese persons unhealthy lifestyle ? Being sedentary while watching too much watching tv , smart phone watching or both .. Too many trips to the kitchen for many snack breaks during commercials is the cause , if people today ran their bodies the way the do their obnoxious mouths obesity would be cured ... Before the obese start whaling opps whailing... Disclaimer " Many cases " while there are some folks that have legit underlying medical reasons for becoming obese most do not and just like to self indulge too much aka lazy gluttons. Yes Kermit keep drinking tea , you'll stay thin ...don't switch to soda, Gatorade or milkshakes like the obese do !
