Today's Daily Science Fiction short story is utter FA nonsense I'm subscribed to Daily Science Fiction, a website and daily email syndicate that sends out short sci-fi stories every morning.  Today's story was KJ Kabza's 'Road Test'. It's only about a page long, but to summarise: in 2068 society has become 'draconian' by forcing driving applicants to take a physical fitness test (running a mile in under 7 mins); the narrator's only 'healthy' (read: non-ham) family member, her sister, qualifies, but ends up in a car accident two months later. The narrator (ham) is secretly happy and equates her obesity to her sister's paralysis.  The author's notes at the bottom say: There are some policy-makers who are trying to combat the rising weight of the average American through legislative means--e.g., New York City's infamous and ill-fated ban on the sales of sodas above a certain size. What might these laws look like if they were more draconian and sweeping? What unforeseen consequences would they have?  I was grinding my teeth by the time I finished reading it.
