Well except it's really easy to stop enabling people to be fat. The allocation of tax dollars is a lot more complicated than "your body is beautiful no matter the shape"

I use a little bit of honey to sweeten mine.

I'm gonna wait for the pecker coffee thread before doing anything rash, me.

This will never actually end up directly affecting you no matter how much you think it will.

So your theory is increased health costs on average don't change actuarial assumptions that cause premiums to increase? If people are healthy and spend less on not only doctors visits but drugs, insurance companies would pay out less, lowering there cost estimates. I would love to hear your theory on how it doesn't affect premiums though.

The guy's estimated height and weight??

What do you care? It’s his health.

It would only affect premiums if he went to the doctor and had issues from sugar related problems. My statement was not that it couldn't but that it wouldn't. More than likely the families having babies during the year or someone having surgery is far more likely to affect your premiums than this one guy unless you can concretely prove that his sugar habit is actually affecting him right now thus making him go to the doctor and seek treatment.

And I was talking about this one guy not averages, since you are so angry at this one guy for his sugar habit. This one guy will not affect you is my point.

His behavior is more indicative of the large majority of people instead of the inverse. His diet today although it may not affect him for 10 years is absolutely factored into today's costs.

I agree with you in theory...but what can we do about that? It is still a choice that people make. Getting angry about it is just unhealthy for you.
One thing I believe companies will do in the future is force employees to do baseline health tests and offer discounts to those that are not overweight but there is a slippery slope with that because people will cry foul when they force people with kids to pay more and people with issues to pay more and it will become more like smoking related penalties.

We already do this.

If you use more than about 2 sugars, you may as well use the artificial shite because it is sweeter than the real stuff.
As far as shaming him goes, I don’t think it’s possible. If they are putting that much in their coffee, it’s just a delivery system for sugar and caffeine at that point.

While you’re worried about this guy’s sugar habit killing him, you might be slowly killing yourself with hypertension getting worked up over this.

i worked with a girl who would put 23 packs of sugar in her coffee & she weighed 40Kg.
