I agree with you that alcholism is a big problem too, however, does that mean that Obese people aren't a drain on the health care system?
I hope no one is taking my opinion as a personal attack, I'm not exactly skinny myself. However I am very aware that obese people are a drain on the health care system and it is extremely unhealthy to be obese. I also know how preventable obesity is and alot of obese people complain about their weight, know they are unhealthy, but still will eat unhealthy food and not exercise.
