Fuck. Just thinking of all the possible circumstances. What quality of life would we have if we went around nit picking people's life choices like this?
I previously said some people don't have fault of their own... but even the ones that do, it's none of my business. If someone wastes their days playing video games all day instead of taking a walk, reading a book, and socializing, their business, not mine. Same. What people do with themselves, as long as it's not directly hurting others, is not my business. And hospitals will have patients that were irresponsible, but aren't limited to obese people, so then what? That's just a price to pay for having the freedom as adults to do as we wish with ourselves. Taxing obesity doesn't make sense. Why stop there? Let's tax sedentary lifestyles. Let's tax the lack of exercise. Let's tax people who have unprotected sex. Anyone who could end up in a hospital due to their lifestyle should be taxed.
I rather go back to focusing on what I'm putting on my children's plate, than looking at people's rolls and wondering how they can feel so pretty. Eff.
