That's discrimination against skinny people who like buffets.

I think people who come up with those kind of crazy ideas should be banned and sent to cuba for a year!

Those who still don't reform, we can work to death in our state owned quarries.
Freedom through health.

I think the federal government should ban all food purchases and home cooking in favor of having schools prepare delicious meals for the family.

Three squares a day served in the lunch room. You can eat at the third grade table.

After health care is completely taken over by the state , something along these lines will be implemented...for our own health of course.

I'm not necessarily in favor of banning buffet's but I do think a special tax on fat people would make them either lose some weight or stay out of the buffet line. Everyone has to weigh in before heading to the trough

so now you are going to tax them for being fat. What will you do, say, Mr Smith, you look a little out of shape to me, that will cost you $10 in taxes or maybe you want to decide who can and can not go through the buffet line?

Being fat isn't just harmful physically, it is harmful mentally. You ever notice fat posters don't type ROFL, they just type LOL. Even rolling on the floor (figuratively) is too much work.

But their fat will conceal their privates, they would have an advantage.
