THE OBESITY WAR:

"When you receive a knock on the door and the visitors in black suits and ties and white shirts pull out their federal badges and ask to sit down with you for an informal chat about your eating habits, whatever you do, don't lie about your weight! Because if you do, you'll soon find that lying to a federal bureaucrat is even more hazardous to your health than obesity. Just ask Martha Stewart!"


There is an amusing article in Forbes saying that for all the "war on obesity" the smart money is still backing fat: "Krispy Kreme Doughnuts increased fiscal fourth-quarter sales by 36% over last year". Leftists will like their suggestion that obesity is a conspiracy to kill people early and thus save the social security system from going bankrupt.
