They are "consuming" at higher levels than the average consumer.

the result of the consuming are medical issues. Thus the drain. And who the **** wants to look at fatasses all day long anyway.

Garbage.

Gross oversimplification.

Someone, probably fat, posted an article here that found fat people actually aren't as much a drain on health care as their regular-sized counterparts.

I didn't really read much into it but something about fat people experiencing higher rates of more serious medical issues and dying off before they can actually become a drain like healthier people do later on in life..

"Making slurs about body size is just as offensive as making comments about body color," spokesperson Peggy Howell tells TMZ Sports.

Making fun of someone who stupidly over tans is just as funny as making fun of someone who stupidly over eats.

The only people who are truly a drain on the economy are the poor/unemployed.

Think about all the fat rich people man...spending TRILLIONS on food and XXXXXL clothes.

Fat is a choice. Comparing it to racism is ****ing stupid. This is what happens when political correctness runs wild.

One man sucking another man's dick is a choice too. That P.C. battle was fought, and lost, a long time ago.
