Nothing is free. Somewhere in the system, we're paying for it already, Jag. If they had non-emergency health-care, maybe these people would see a doctor sooner and get a needed smack upside the head. Unfortunately, that's doubtful. As Patrick noted, stupid is here to stay.

If I fed a kid a slow release poison, I'd be in jail. If I fed my kid crap, ensuring that the kid would develop Type II diabetes (which used to be called Adult Onset Diabetes until parents started killing their children with food).... Well, that's just my prerogative as a parent and the Nanny State had better keep its hands off of my dinner table! Making kids obese pisses me off, too.

I watch them feed this crap to their already obese kids and I can't imagine what they are thinking. They are killing these kids and the rest of the country is going to have to foot the bill.

I hate the Fat Police more than most.... But what if she smoked? She's making a lifestyle choice that is medically unhealthy. A fat person advertises these choices. So it'd be like if she walked around with a cigarette in her ear. Plus, Surgeon General is a scam position, anyway. How long did we go without one? No one seemed to notice. If we're going to have a face of public health, shouldn't it be a healthy face? I don't know…. I hate the Fat Police more than most…. But what if she smoked?

Another, say, 30 and I won't be able to be the butt of this particular joke. But it pisses me off when people think that the state needs to protect me from myself. I've lost 27 pounds now.
