Obesity is one of the FEW things that politicians can't transfer to the non-obese. <br> <br> Just think- money can be transfered from those who have worked hard to earn it, to those who haven't. Ditto property. Those two things are pretty all-encompassing. <br> <br> Do you doubt for an instant that, were there way to efficiently transfer the excess weight from some Homo Spherian to people who watched what they ate and exercised regularly, politicians wouldn't figure out some way to mandate such a practice? And they'd have every excuse in the book, from "general welfare" to "for da chilrunz!!!1!". <br> <br> But they can't. This is one instance of people who abdicate self-responsibility NOT being able to dump the consequences of such onto others. They are forced to face the end result of their dietary choices EVERY time they look in the mirror. No faking reality on this one.
