Are obese people discriminated against? Duh!!!! Food addiction is is quickly becoming the number one preventable cause of disease in the US. We as a society have to address this issue seriously and place the cost of individual action on those responsible for them with consumption based taxes of the food individuals consume. It is simple economics when you don't pay the full costs of your actions you will likely continue your bad behavior. Changes we make now might save our children. I actually wonder, if we were more vocal about this issue instead of less would the burden of obesity on our society be so high?
