And you don't think giving a kid an additional 300 to 600 calories a day would be enough to make them obese? What 'we' are talking about is the claim that starvation and obesity are equally detrimental. They say a child dies every 5 seconds from starvation, at a wild guess how often do you think a child dies from being obese? Don't be so f-in stupid!

That was a bit overstatement on his part. But he has a point!

It's our tax money that takes care of these people when they get sick. Same goes for people who smoke and drink too much.

IMHO the best treatment for alcoholics (who don't want to stop. You can't cure from alcoholism but you can stop drinking.) is to give them access to unlimited supply of alcohol... Nature will take care of the rest...

Same thing with obese people.
