Why are so many people so strongly opinionated about obesity?
I just notice this looking through Yahoo answers that this issue comes up a lot.
Why does other people’s weight make some people so mad? Why do people feel so strongly about this issue? Yes, there’s a cost to society as far as cost of medical care, but many things cost taxpayers MUCH more money. So why does it seem like so many more people are ticked off about how much pizza Joe Schmoe eats as compared to something like, say, the war in Iraq or runaway porkbarrel spending?
Anybody with a strong feeling on this issue care to weigh in? Please for the sake of us all have something intelligent to say.
It doesn’t matter to me what it costs to take care of someone with health issues. What I do care about is the children that can’t do anything about what they eat or the medical reasons that they have that cause them to be too over weight. My heart goes out to them. I don’t get angry about the tax dollars. I get angry when I think about how short their lives could be. That they may not have a chance to grow old and watch their great-grandchildren play in the yard. And I do understand that certain medical issues case over weight children, but that is not always the case. It is just sad to me.
As far as adults with weight problems, they are old enough to take care of their own problems, it is their business, not everyone else.
