Why the Government (USA) is Happy with Obesity Everything always comes back to money.  Fatties are the ones who eat junk food and drink soda -- did you know that in Canada there is not the 13% sales tax (which is on every fucking thing) except for REAL foods - fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy products, real fruit juice and some bakery products.  Fats are the ones who will be slaved either paying health insurance or hospital bills that will take belongings.  Fats are the ones who will die before they reach old age security and/or pension. Another reason is fats are compliant and stupid.  They vote demo and you do not often see them in protests, marches or riots.  They are the governments dream of poor willed sheep who happily slaughter themselves.
