		<description>Not every overweignt person gorges on tire-sized hamburgers and twinkies.  And not every overweight person eats at McDonalds or must have everything deep fried in cheese and bacon.  And not every overweight person makes BAD FOOD CHOICES.  Many overweight people were raised eating unhealthy foods and became heavy over time.  Many try to make good choices, and do, but it is HARD TO LOSE WEIGHT.  And it's not just a willpower thing; it's a  biochemical, metabolic thing you can't control.  There are plateaus, there is eating TOO LITTLE AND GOING INTO STARVATION MODE, there are weeks one is too busy for the gym (not busy watching TV on the couch, but too busy with work, family committments, school), etc.  Losing weight is HARD.  As someone who's lost around 80lbs... believe me:  It is HARD to do and it's no where near as simple as the ridiculously simplistic, unhelpful slogan of "diet and exercise!"

I've entered into what feels like a hopeless plateau, where I'm eating VERY healthily, exercising regularly, doing MUCH MORE for my weight and health than 90% of the thin people I know, but I just CANNOT LOST these last 20 - 30 lbs.  It's driving me crazy and it's even more upsetting considering that people insist on assuming that I must have chocolate-fried lard for dinner every night because I'm (still) overweight.

Keeping people out of restaurants is a ridiculous idea and not a solution to anything.  If the government wants to help people lose weight, they should sanction and outlaw 80% of the ingredients in almost all the conventional food products available in typical grocery stores.  In a world before high-fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated vegetable oils, we were all, generally, much thinner.  But of COURSE the food companies lobby so strongly to have things like french fries classified vegetables that any real, meaningful change is impossible. Maybe many overweight people's bodies can't take these "ingredients"?  I dunno... I know a lot of overweight people and NONE are the food-crazed monsters fat people are "supposed" to be.</description>

		<description>Well when that "family" who grows their own vegetables and packs their own lunches finds themselves homeless after mom and dad develop cancer or MS, or any other expensive illness, it's nice to know you won't shed a tear.  To each his own, my brother's keeper, Love thy neighbor...hmm.  Thanks for letting us know!</description>

		<description>What annoys me is that anti-fat people never talk about the cost of anoriexia or bulimia.  What about the 20 year olds with heart disease from busting vessels throwing up 10 times a day, buring their throats to mush and gattting blood in their eyes....slipping into comas, or being rushed to the hospital weekly from passing out!  No...lets not talk about THOSE people because they don't gross us out....skinny is sooooo beautiful and fat is well...you know...ugly.</description>

		<description>What about people like Shaq who just happened to be huge?  Scales wouldn't work there.  Are they going to have a doctor at every restaurant doing a physical saying what's fat and what's acceptable?  What about women who just had babies?  And while we're at it...let's stop alcoholics from drinking in bars, sex addicts from going to strip clubs, gamblers from goign to casinos and video game addicts from buying Nintendo Wii's.  MY GOD people get a life.  For every addiction there is a market...live with it!</description>

		<description>It's not the government job to fix obesity, Politicians can't legislate stupidity out of existence, ( if they could most of them would be out of a job). I believe if someone fat or smnoke it is their personal choice. 
And they should be allowed to, but they also should not be able to sue Mc Donalds when their rearend have it own zip code. Politicains stick to fixing roads and stealing tax dollars, and leave otyher things alone.</description>

		<description>That's one of the most ignorant things I have ever heard. One reason that people suffering from poverty can also be overweight is because of the convenience and cheap of unhealthy foods. The entire fast food industry is focused on selling the most food for the cheapest price, and a bunch of cheap food is far more appealing to impoverished people than healthy, expensive foods. Obesity is no longer a sign of wealth with how accessible cheap, unhealthy foods have become.

Poverty is relative, but this article isn't referring to a third world country, but an important issue existing in the United States. There are of course poorer people in poorer countries than the United States, but that doesn't make the issue of obesity any less prominent.</description>

		<description>What about the people who have been injured on the job or have been in a car wreck and cant work? How do they save money to pay for health insurance, IRA, ect? Some people do honestly need the support from our tax money. Dont get me wrong i hate paying taxes for handouts, which has been well taken advantage of, but we cant cut out taxes. By the way, a lot of athletes eat 5000+ calories a day just to maintain there weight.</description>

		<description>That's just ridiculous.

Keeping overweight people in their homes is counterproductive. It's also ludicrous to not allow any specific group of people to do something based on their appearance. I thought we realized that years go.</description>

		<description>Let individual restaurants decide who they will serve and who they will not serve.  

The real question that should be asked here is how can poor people be so fat?  You hear it all the time, that there are so wretchedly many Americans living in poverty, but if you look at these "poor" you discover that about half of them are morbidly obese.  

The rest of the world's poor (genuinely living in abject poverty) would laugh if they see what liberals here call "poor."  Not only do a great deal of America's "poor" eat enough individually to support a family of four, many of them also live in air conditioned homes which have 2+ televisions and average 1.5 automobiles per "poor" family.  Compared to real poverty, genuine third-world poverty, very few Americans are poverty-stricken.</description>

		<description>"People eat to deal with stress, they eat to socialize with co-workers, eat to handle depression and settle impulsive behaviors that would best be handled by psychiatric help."

You skinny people think this is the cause of obesity but have never been obese in their life.

The simple fact is that many people who are obese LIKE FOOD, and couldn't care less that they're overweight. Its a small price to pay for the ability to eat what they want when they want it. All the medical conditions that arise from being obese just simply are an inconvenience.</description>

		<description>Okay, so we should stop obese from eating at restaurants, hell a lot of them sell the bad food right?  What about those that have slow metabolism and don't eat much but gain weight -- you have to eat to survive.  Okay, so we chuck all those people together because they have all the same problem, food.

Lets put blind people in to this bill also because who wants to see a blind person eat, especially having their guide dog (which is protected under the ADA).  Oh heck, lets put deaf people in to the mix because the staff have a hard time understanding their orders, right?   Okay, so now we have obese, blind, and deaf.  Lets put paranoid-scizoprenic on the list also because maybe the chief is out to get them. Oh, Oh I know, lets have separate places for different races, yeah that's the ticket!

All of the above has a name and it is called &lt;b&gt;discrimination&lt;/b&gt;.  Thanks for supporting it, idiots. If you start with one group of people and ban them from doing an activity, then another one will come down the road and a another and another.</description>

		<description>Well said Justin,

The idea that a hardworking family that grows some of their own vegetables and packs their own lunches to work should have to pay into a health plan that people who eat twinkies and fast food have equal access to is a ludicrous attack on rural working class people.

One study doesn't change the fact that healthy people are paying for the bad habits of others in America. Fat is only one small example of a bad habit.</description>

		<description>One of the problems people have with a free society is that people make choices that others don't agree with. Just because you have decided that being fat is not a good thing does not mean that others cannot decide they want to be fat. As a responsible adult people can choose to be fat or smoke or drink or eat saturated fats or have unprotected sex or whatever vice they decide they want to. Only socialism decides that others know what is good for you and take away your choices.</description>

		<description>I noticed your comment "Fat people cost the government way too much money." Actually, that is incorrect. Skinny people, on average, cost more in terms of health care costs than obese people. This is backed up by a Dutch study published Feb 4th in the Public Library of Science. It's also quite logical when you think about it. Skinny people, on average, live longer lives than obese people. They take up more health care dollars during their geriatric years, because they have more geriatric years, then they still have the same end-of-life costs as obese people. Same goes for smokers. It's a common misconception.</description>

		<description>Universal Healthcare is a ridiculous concept. Why should I have to pay the medical bills of someone who spends the money that could go towards health insurance on their 5000+ calorie per day habit. 

I have enough money taken out of my paycheck for free hand-outs. It is not the government's responsibility to pay your health insurance or for that matter, save for your retirement (social security). Save your own money and be self sufficient or don't. Either way, I don't want to pay to support you when I'm also paying into my IRA (personally set up) or my health savings account (personally set up) or my health insurance (bought independently of work). 

If you want to support people that don't want to work or save their money, then give them your money directly. Leave my paycheck out of it.</description>

		<description>The definition of overweight keeps changing but if we assume that being fat is actually bad for you if you can walk (as yet unproven in my opinion) and we assume that the current new low standard for fat that the diet industry is pushing is correct then how would this law work? What would the restaurants do, put a scale and measuring pole at the door and check a BMI table?  Then stocky people and body builders won't be able to go into restaurants (no more Brad Pitt and Arnold sightings); BMI is inaccurate for 8% of the population?  So they will put a body fat monitor at the door?  Those are by admittance not accurate for tall people, short people and asian people with small bones.  Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me!</description>

Then stocky people and body builders won&#8217;t be able to go into restaurants (no more Brad Pitt and Arnold sightings); BMI is inaccurate for 8% of the population?  So they will put a body fat monitor at the door?  Those are by admittance not accurate for tall people, short people and asian people with small bones.  Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me!</p>

		<description>If you look at it from the government's perspective, this bill is perfectly valid. This is a Socialist government, because that makes the most profit for the government. In a Socialist government, YOU are not responsible for yourself. The government is responsible for you. More and more people can not afford insurance (This is by design, by the way, of the insurance industry) so the government picks up the tab. YOU are not responsible for your healthcare, the government is. As your owner, the government is going to do what any other profit-minded entity is going to do: Maximize profits and cut loss. Fat people cost the government way too much money, so since they are responsible for your health, they can legislate anything that will protect their bottom line.

Vote Hillary, she will make healthcare universally paid for by the government, and make this hell a whole lot hotter!</description>
