America' obesity: A more devastating crisis than mortgage or credit card?

The untold crisis?
The only one which may last for decades?

Obese people tend to produce less (sometimes they can't work at all), yet consume more, putting additional strain on the already broke Social Security systems?
 
some of the biggest (pun intended) social problems will be healthcare and medicare, because of the aging and growing (pun intended again) population.

but there is one unintended, positive side-effect of the fattening population: reduced life-expectancies. people live a lot longer now than they did 70 years ago so anything that causes that to reverse is a plus for social security.
 
It is case of USA,U.K.,Germany ,Russia

60-65% of populatio nhave owerweight .

I am a baby boomer who grew with a heavy exposure to the counterculture. Of course, that caused to me think the world was just a kiss ass world. Now, like Rip Van Winkle, I seem to have woken up to find there are very few kiss asses, just a world full of FAT ASSES.
 
Every time one of those lazy fat asses waddle through the cross walk I yell, "The slower you walk the wider you get!"
How could I be so cruel?

this is a dumb topic, but i'll throw something in here.

Obese people tend to die much earlier so they strain the social security system less.

I undrstand issues with medicare and medicade, but that was not the question
 
Isn't that cuz Napoleon killed off all the tall, young, fit guys before they could reproduce?
