You know, of course, what this means. Sooner or later they will put an "excise" (or is it excess) tax on fat people for harming the environment.

Back when everybody jumped on the smoking issue bandwagon I told them that it was just a matter of time before the busybodies got to the porkers and the lazy. Now, in some work places you can be fined for having abnormal blood lipid levels, blood pressure readings, other health metrics even if you don't drink, smoke, or sit around playing games all weekend. :mad:
