There is no incentive to stop obesity. The rich charge enough for health insurance to make profit on these taxpayers who then die before collecting any social security. Perfect citizens.
I had a hard time arguing against Sam's Club muffins for breakfast.
For less than $6, I can have nine 710 calorie muffins. But the cost to my health to eat that much pure sugar with extremely little nutrition and like zero protein?
But that'd breakfast for 9 days for less than $7 (including tax.)
People who say eating healthy is cheaper if you're willing to spend the time have never been to Sam's Club.
Just at a guess, people who say that surely must be factoring in medical healthcare costs, to deal with the consequences of obesity and such.
