This obesity problem is a BIG thing. As big as smoking from a public health perspective. I hope we as individuals and a nation are savvy enough to turn the tide voluntary. If we think health care costs are going through the roof now, they're headed for the stratosphere if this obesity problem is not brought under control. To their credit, both Bush presidents and Clinton have set a positive personal example.
What we don't need is the legal profession reaping billions of dollars from this problem like they did from cigarette suits. I hope we are smart enough to find a non-legal way out of this, though I'm not optimistic on this score.
