“Earlier at the meeting, it was revealed that the city’s obesity crisis causes 5,800 deaths a year and costs taxpayers $4billion annually.”

BS, pure BS and I would love to see how they arrived at those figures. I’m sure it was assumed that obesity was always a contributing factor no matter the cause listed on the DC.

Which brings up the real problem that gives these Commies their excuse to meddle in our lives:

The “obese” should be completely fiscally responsible for their own dietary and lifestyle choices, not the “taxpayers”.

In other words, because we’re collectivists, we are going to inflict more collectivist policies on you.
