We could have the state require mandatory physical exams every year.

Anyone over a healthy Body Mass Index could be incarcerated and forced to exercise until they reach a healthy level of weight. (Or likewise, we could just ban fast food and junk food, and require cooking classes in K-12 education).

There is more rational justification in this idea, than there is in ending a right to bear arms, since obesity is responsible for 300,000 deaths per year (10X more than gun violence, including suicides is).
 
Obsesity? Is that being obsessed with obese people? Then surely it should be banned. This must be another odd sexual deviancy the liberals are into.

That's about the dumbest post I've ever read here. Obesity is a medical condition that for many people has nothing to do with lack of exercise or wrong eating, and despite being at the heart of most health conditions is strangely not covered by health insurance! About the hardest thing to do these days is to go to your doctor asking for help with a serious weight problem and get any real practical help (ie. diet pill, etc.) other than told to join a gym or something which is of no use to people of limited funds, mobility, etc.
 
The OP sounds like an anti-American liberal. Steakhouses are an American tradition. Sure some of the patrons who enjoy big steaks and a baked potato on the side aren't as skinny as when they were kids. And it's our right as free Americans to enjoy apple pie and other desserts. What a stupid thread started by another stupid liberal.
 
The reason why as a nation we have so many obese people is we’ve been raised on carbs, sugars, processed foods. Our diet is pathetic

The government makes you work from dawn to dusk rushing around without a break with no time for a healthy lifestyle, proper meals and exercise. Rush out the door with a pop tart and coffee, rush to McDonalds at lunch to cram down a burger in a fast food line on your 30 minute timed break then hurry back to work. Then your supermarket is filled with all the artificial, prepared meals for you to microwave in your exhaustion approved by the government FDA to eat until you drop over from hard work, taxation and coronary disease.
