You shouldn't either.

The stats and data on obesity and its contribution to rising health care costs are completely undeniable. I'm not sure what scaremongering group you're talking about. But the stats and data are conclusive from countless independent sources.
I'm all about freedom. But the fact is that health care costs aren't based on independent freedom. When some lazy slob piece of shit neglects their health and it results in unnecessary care because of that person's poor health, it raises costs for everyone. If it only raised costs for that one lazy slob piece of shit, it would be fine and nobody would care if that person ate themselves to death. But when the price of their "Freedom" ends up on everyone else's health care bill, it's not about "Freedom" anymore. It's about shared cost of care.
