That would be like having a cancer doctor or cardiologist tell you to stop smoking, but before going into the clinic, the doctor takes a few drags on a Camel or two


How would that make them a bad doctor though? I mean, we all have our vices. If they are still an awesome doctor, why not take their advice?

Being fat shouldn't get you a handicap spot at the store.

I agree with that.

But also, being fat shouldn't automatically disqualify your opinion either. If I fat guy tells you "Man, avoid the empty carbs and the high sugar processed foods"

Well he probably knows from experience.

Terrible precedent if it goes through.



Should make all fast food restaurants pay a 35% tax right off the top that funds this. If they can't, then bye.

We should be raising premiums on obese people like we do for tobacco users and subsidizing healthy foods, not subsidizing obesity.
