I'm also in favor of showing little tolerance towards obese people. I find it disgusting on many levels. However, our current system of healthcare, and especially our system of health insurance, is tied to the overall health of the nation. So, obese people are a detriment that warrant attention. To my knowledge, obesity and smoking are responsible for driving up many insurance premiums.

See above post.
