While I am for people having assistance controlling their weight, I can see the slippery slope argument.
however, the grey becomes black and white rather quickly if you start asking fat people if they WANT to be fat.
not going to find a lot of support there.
however, if you try to compare it to something like smoking? yeah, people want to smoke, despite it driving up health costs, so theres no way you could convince people that businesses jumping in and throwing nico-gum/patches and whatever else is required to stop people from smoking would gain even remotely the same support as this.
so Yeah, I'm totally for this.
I think ths slippery slope argument is invalid in this particular case
