Turns out many studies show that fat people are less of a burden financially on the public in the long-term, because they tend to die at a younger age. Healthier people live longer and end up decomposing at a slow rate in hospitals due to cancer and other advanced illnesses.
I would be interested to see your sources and how they offset the decreased productivity and near-uniform poverty of obese people vs the longer lifespan and higher tax brackets of humans living a normal life.

Yeah, I will work on that. You seem like the reasonable sort that might look at the data and weigh it heavily against your pre-conceived notions of how these "parasites" affect our daily lives. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

if your sources indicate that fatties pose less of a financial burden than non-fatties, and aren't shitty, the amount of money they paid into the system was studied. If that amount was controlled for or ignored, the study does not lead to the conclusions you made in your first post.

Either way the onus is on you to back your claims up.
