It affects the obese people, their loved ones, and society as a whole. My programs are not punitive. They encourage people to get healthier and help themselves.

Also, obesity is largely a choice (I am aware of those few individuals that have a genetic predisposition). That is, the government is urging people to make better choices. We are not punishing them for unalterable circumstances, and certainly not for a lack of children.

I hope I have allayed your fears somewhat.
Fears? I have no fears concerning your points, I am merely trying to point out where they lead. You want to try social and physical re-engineering of the details of society, you go right ahead. Just don't expect me to pay for it or respect it.
