So I should be taxed for eating foods that I need to maintain my weight, if those same foods make sedentary people obese?
Obesity is simple mathematics. Take in more calories than you burn and you will gain weight.
My lunch today consists of a tuna (packed in oil) sandwich on buttered pumpernickel with LOTS of mayo, a 16oz glass of half and half and a pint of Ben and Jerry's.
I'm 5'9" and weigh 136 pounds, exactly what I weighed when I graduated high school in 1967.
I ate a big fat Chipotle burrito for lunch. I'll be doing P90X in exactly 2 hours. I've had that same burrito every week for months and have lost 10 pounds since I started doing P90X a month ago.
This is what happens when we have a population that approves of gov't regulating everything. Whether it be regulating our economy, what we eat, what we drink, what we learn, what we smoke, what we watch on tv, what we read, etc, it's pure madness.
