How does it affect me? ...Originally Posted by Evan
My health care premiums go up because more obese people mean more insurance claims because they're seeing doctors and in the hospital more often.
My plane tickets have gone up in price because the average weight of a plane has gone up 10% in the last 15 years because of more people being obese and a heavier plane means more gas consumption and higher ticket prices.
My taxes go up because I have to support people being obese on government health programs.
... just to list a couple
