Being fat should be illegal everywhere

Meh, if being fat is a result of poor diet/no exercise then it's their responsibility and they should pay, in full, for every treatment/surgery they need.

HAHAH holy frick that's amazing. It's real thoughtful of the government though. But never thought it would be mandated. I think this is good though. But punshing the company is kind of weird. But how else can they do it you know.

We'll be seeing fat unemployed people soon.

The amount of increase in unemployment would be minimal and would be offset with increasing wage rates for services.

lol america would probably get 3 trillion dollars in taxes annualy if they did this

That's very very interesting. I mean, it's certainly in everyone's best interest to not be overweight, but making it illegal brings up questions of what a government should be allowed to do...

it should be exercise and diet; just exercise is not going to do much...

[wolfrevenant]

That is a bit unusual... But I suppose if it does help to encourage people to get healthier, then I'm all for it as well.

It's easy to say but if it were really applied to you, would you still comply?
