#9 Obesity is contagious. Or at least that is what she thinks, she is a sales rep. she probably only knows numbers up to 18 and the letters S, M and L. |

| Site Staff Cid's Knight | How does it affect me? ... My health care premiums go up because more obese people mean more insurance claims because they're seeing doctors and in the hospital more often. My plane tickets have gone up in price because the average weight of a plane has gone up 10% in the last 15 years because of more people being obese and a heavier plane means more gas consumption and higher ticket prices. My taxes go up because I have to support people being obese on government health programs. ... just to list a couple Last edited by Flying Mullet; 08-03-2005 at 05:59 PM. |

| Site Staff Cid's Knight | Part of the problem is that a lot of people are "morbidly obese" today, rather then "slightly obese" as of 15 or so years ago. When people can't even walk up a flight of stairs or support their own body weight they really need to do something about their weight. That and the fact that there are a lot of commercials on tv now (at least in the US) that claim "It's not your fault that you're fat, blah blah blah" and try to push pills. Most people don't try exercise or a healthy diet, or make a very poor attempt at it and these commercials prey on them and lead to unhealthy thoughts like "Yeah, it's not my fault, I did try walking five minutes three times a week and I didn't lose weight. It's not my fault!" |
