Of course it’s a Government overreach, but Obesity is a terrible problem in the U.S. and one of our most costly ones.

There should be some direct economic disincentive to being fat.

I’d propose making your Federal Income Tax rate equal to your BMI or body fat percentage, whichever is lower. (20% Federal Income Tax for me!)

The government is of course right to do this and has the capability to efficiently solve this problem.

In completely unrelated news, 1/3 of Pueto Ricans is on food stamps.
