Obesity doesn't kill half a million Americans.
And who knows, maybe ebola will.
When you provide a link that shows that 700 thousand people die a year of obesity, we'll talk.
Yes, and we established that 700 thousand don't die from obesity.

Europe’s Hidden Ebola Cases
The Daily Beast ^
The Continent prepares for the virus to spread, but for many, it’s already here. ROME, Italy — If you were surprised to hear the news that a Sudanese United Nations worker died of the deadly Ebola virus in a Berlin hospital on Tuesday, you might be even more surprised to learn just how many Ebola patients there are elsewhere in Europe. The World Health Organization maintains that there are eight confirmed cases of the deadly virus in Europe tied to the current outbreak: two dead missionaries in Spain, one dead doctor in Germany, one cured man and one doctor in...

I did.
The link I provided a few posts above lists obesity deaths by sex and race. Add those up and you get about 700,000.
I think Ebola is extremely serious. However, it isn't going to kill half a million Americans.

Ebola hasn't killed that many in Africa where containment and medical technology is next to non-existant.
Agree obesity doesn't kill hundreds of thousands a year. How many of the heart disease and other things are complications or symptoms of obesity maybe add up to something like that. But obesity itself isn't a terminal condition.

But if we consider that obesity contributes to other causes of death, its much higher.

People can live with obesity and never die, and never spread it to others by social contact.
Some people can gain immunity to Ebola, but for those who catch it,
they will spread it to others if it isn't contained immediately as a biohazardous pathogen.
Obesity doesn't spread like a level 4 pathogen.
And doesn't require containment to prevent an epidemic.
The problems you talk about with obesity occur over time, are not contagious or viral,
and are best addressed by FREE CHOICE of the individual.
Are you serious about trying to compare this,
or just trying to argue around the point for the sake of devil's advocacy?
If there is some other agenda you are trying to say is driving this concern about Ebola,
what are you saying it is biased by. And why isn't it okay to recognize that
the Ebola virus is a highly contagious pathogen that is best contained early
so it is doesn't cost lives and drain health care resources as in Africa that added to the epidemic.
What is wrong with acknowledging that contagion is dangerous and needs to be stopped?
