Exercise is no good. It's better to stay on the couch and watch all that good stuff on TV...while chomping on fast food.
Obese people will create more jobs: fork lifts for the home; indoor cranes in the living room; beefed-up suspension systems for cars; wider doorways; heavy duty (cast iron) furniture; larger apparel which can also be used as camping tents; more fast food places mean more jobs for those who raise (and process) chickens, burger flippers, and delivery drivers.
The glorious future.

They are taking up too much of the carbon footprint and should be eliminated. Let's start with Michael Moore.

The Sin of Gluttony

Direct from The Holy Bible: Proverbs 23:2 proclaims, “Put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony.”

P.S. I do not condone what the bible says to do. I do condone diets and exercise.
This is a ridciulous thread. BUT, if obese people are a theat to public good, then Michelle Obama is a big threat! Look at her huge rear-end, hulking arms and amazon like size.

It causes the most issues to the person and their family as long as Obama isn't going to let us pay taxes to help them!

A non-gay poll from artsy. Is it really artsy or do we have his usurper??

Why can't people see the nexus between doctors, insurance agents, junk food chains etc.??

The obese folks are more like victims

Michelle Obama is in amazing shape. That is muscle not fat. She doesn't have flabby arms. Those are well toned arms.
