Better lose some weight for the greater good, comrades.

[ClearCase_guy]

The government wants its pound of flesh. Or thirty pounds, as the case may be.

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

Yup, this is nothing more than justification for more nanny state intrusion.

[sarasota]

Processed food companies would be out of business—especially the “diet” soda folks.

[B-Chan]

What if no one were black?

Either way — it’s a stupid question.

[bronxboy]

I have a better question, What if no one was gay? or a junkie? Think of all the money we would save from not having people with AIDS. Also, make it mandatory to be monogamous. We could play this game forever. Old people, preemies, etc.

McDonald's would sell not Big Macs but little steamed chicken snacks -- or watch its profits melt away

BS. Lot's of thin people eat junk food. Some eat a lot of it.

[pillut48]

Then by all means, DEATH to fat people everywhere since they are the ultimate cause of all evil, like overpriced airline tickets!!!!

/sarc

Only problem is, who gets to determine what ‘fat’ is? I’ve heard that one of the best ways is the BMI index, but then again, it would declare Arnold Schwarzenegger as ‘fat’!!!

What, oh, what is the world to do?!? [holds hand to forehead and has the vapors]

[Hemingway's Ghost]

If nobody in America were fat, we wouldn't have funny comedians like John Belushi, John Candy, or Chris Farley. Hey--wait a minute.

Okay, we still have Artie Lange.

[Coldwater Creek]

Have you noticed how thin those polygamy women are? No fast food available.

[Cicero]

What if no one were fat? What if no one smoked? What if . . . .

Well, stupid (I mean Shirley Skeel by that, not 14erClimb), then they’d all die of something else. They’d all probably spend a couple of extra years in the nursing home, or make more visits to the hospital, and it would cost even more!

Be grateful that people are killing themselves off early and saving the social security and medicare systems badly needed funds.

[Lazamataz]

What if there was no pollution? No death? No darkness? No mosquitos? No deep wells? No tornadoes? No gay people? No crime? No unhappiness? No spoiled tomatoes? No molds and mildews? No sharks? No Fonzi jumping sharks? No gravity? No space aliens capturing me for yet another anal probe?

[Nat Turner]

What if no one voted for DEMONCRAPS????

[Centurion2000]

The war on tobacco continues .... now the war on fat people starts.

[Soliton]

Farming and hospitality economic sectors would collapse. There would then be food shortages and people would starve because they had no fat reserves. I for one will NEVER let this atrocity happen. Today is 30 cent wing day at Wiggy’s here in Pittsburgh. I will do my share to help save the world.

[MEGoody]

We’d save a ton of money just not giving anyone health care. Or, we could regulate everything they do in life, from who they have sex with (and how often) to what type of bed they sleep in. That would save a lot of money too.

[HungarianGypsy]

It must be nice to have a perfect body.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

“What if no one were fat?”

Well first off, smug, self righteous, ass*oles like the author would have to find something else to harp on to give him a feeling of superiority.

Second, well, hmmm... Nope, I guess that's the only thing.

[uptoolate]

In protest, I’m gonna go from 60 pounds overweight to 80 pounds.

[Dr. Sivana]

Let’s see, anorexia and bulimia would go up as the elites have to work harder to distinguish themselves from the rest. Those who “self-medicate” with a comfort food or a couple of calorie laden beers may turn to narcotics. Others would rack up big bills at the head shrinkers. NFL linemen would have to retire ealier. Eskimos would freeze to death.

[Lazamataz]

if no-one were fat, where would I find beautiful women?
