Psssst...they already have. Soon it will be against the law to be over weight. They have already begun to go after the fast food industry etc.

Oh I know.  But I couldn't believe what Fox News had on today.  A blurp that obesity death numbers aren't so high after all.

That actually be obese is a GOOD thing.  I almost fell off of my chair!

I did not see that, but I know that a news release said that as one gets older, being a little bit overweight is a positive in living longer.

Some in African nations would not consider obesity a bad thing.

I was trying to find something that I wrote 8-10 months ago to copy and paste for you but I can't find it right now. I was watching Tucker Carlson and his guest was quoting all this "new" data regarding "deaths from obesity." I was so appalled that I wrote a page about it.

What was so appalling you ask? He was reciting the same "death statistics" from the anti-smoking campaign. He did not even TRY to alter them. I had been doing research on the anti-smoking campaign at that time so all the numbers were fresh in my mind. I sat there with my mouth hanging open...I could not believe it.

Yep-it's ONLY smokers that drive health care costs up...everybody knows that, right? And the usual suspects are bound & determined to keep it that way-and, of course, the media will go right along with them.
