Ok, look. I'm a very average earner. I don't eat tofu. I don't drink soy milk. I still manage not to be obese. I don't know what is up with the attacks on fat people. Fat is certainly not the only unhealthy vice around. Mostly this extra charge would be stupid- broke, uninsured fatties would just not pay it along with the rest of the gigantic medical bill they didn't pay. The rest of us would subsidize the extra debt like we subsidize the extra costs of fat ambulances, hydraulic beds and four-person wheel chairs. If the government wanted to do something about obesity, they'd tax corn syrup, fast food and giant-screen tv's and subsidize fitness clubs, fresh produce and family farms. They'd remove coke machines from public schools and bring back P.E. class. They'd revise that absurd food pyramid, not that anyone pays it any mind.
