Obeisty is moving into place as the number one health risk so you soon can say that if it were not for fat people "we could have free healthcare in this country". So what is the next government action you seek...a limit on the portions of food served in restaurants?
On a side note I personally know a person that worked in a restaruant most of his adult life. He scrimped and saved with the goal of owning his own restaurant. He achieved this goal and about a year later the state of California passed a no smoking law in restaurants. He was a smoker and it was now illegal for him to smoke in his own restaurant that he had saved for over so many years. He was enraged...and sad at the same time. He sold the restaurant and went into the landscaping business saying they could not ban him from smoking in the outdoors. This is not entirely true as some towns have banned smoking anywhere other than inside your own home.
