I really think you're taking it to the extreme right, plenty of socialist ideas are worth championing; however, I am opposed to food stamps for fats and basic eugenics. Purely from a public health stance.  The argument could just as easily be made that the problem is not with socialism, it is with the capitalist motive for profiting in the many industries that promote unhealthy lifestyle choices. It really applies to whichever political narrative you frame around it. More on topic, I think citing genetics only justifies the fats fattening, and I believe that to be unintentional fat sympathy.
