Posted by Darwin, Friday, August 21, 2009, 6:17 pm Actually, this is all wrong. Obese people die younger than healthy people. The lion's share of health care costs, especially subsidized health care costs, happen after the typical obese person dies. Eating healthy increases nationwide health care costs and increases taxpayer burden. Just the facts.
