not that i believe shitting on people is the best way to combat it but obesity has both indirect effects and direct effects on other people. Indirect is the extra strain on public resources to support them and direct is shit like making it more difficult to get past them, being crushed by them when sitting next to them on public transport etc.

The American healthcare system costs 4.1 trillion dollars per year. Obesity accounts for only 4% of total costs. The argument that it is a strain on the economy is patently bullshit. And your other reasons are fucking laughable.
