Perhaps the Skinny People Can Use Them for Food

Via the inimitable Scruggs, we find progressivism's latest craze (apparently), which your health insurer and mine has preemtively euphemized as "wellness." The background: at the last Donkle debate, Obama said that if we could "go back to the obesity rates of 1980 we could save the Medicare system a trillion dollars." Other than the failure to construct a proper if/then statement, I personally find nothing to object to. In fact, I propose that we go a step further and reduce the population to its 1980 level. We can start with the fat people. Talk about savings.
