    in some ways i agree. i am not skinny, and at times go to fast food restaurants way too often. if only my nutritionist knew what i ate sometimes, she’d have a heart attack – my doc too.

    why not? I guess obese people should also have the option of not paying taxes since nobody wants to pick up the tab?

    …Read the blog… I’m not liking it. We all know that obesity did not happen because we ate right and exercised every day. Being that I was a victim of identity theft, I’m very leery of anyone having access to my credit file unless I specifically allow and authorize a one time access to my file for a specific reason. BTW – I am in not obese, nor could I even be considered fat or chubby.

    I also wouldn’t want to be denied health insurance because I bought a Twinkie. – Think about it, there would be ways around it anyway. I’d just go to the ATM, withdraw money and pay cash for the fast food.
