i agree but at the same time i believe it should be at a greater cost. health insurance companies should limit coverage for people who eat terribly and are obese. same concept airlines take when they charge these fat bastards for 2 seats instead of one. of course if there is a medical condition that resulted in said obesity then thats diff.
personal responsibility is the issue at hand at the end of the day, but at the same time, obesity is a growing problem, so what does that tell you about people's concerns when it comes to personal health priorities?
lets not forget, the food industry KNOWS this stuff is bad for you. period. word to Food, Inc., regardless if its bad for you, the industry has made it so that its cheaper to buy than healthier food, so anyone saying they aren't to blame is full of %*$!. No1 on earth needs a half gallon or w.e of soft drink with their fries and burger.
and watdafk is this?
...and they had a problem with OG 4loko? cmon son...
bloomberg is doing it right imo. when you have a lack of personal responsibility exercised by so many combined with the food industry purposefully capitalizing off of said irresponsibility, it makes sense for 3rd party intervention. people don't care about the consequences until something bad happens, and hospitals and insurance companies foot the bill. obesity x smoking doesn't make for a good argument against lowering health costs.
come at me brethren. im in the mood for a debate....
All the money is wrapped up in medicare and social security spending on the health issues of people who's health is in the pots due to obesity.
