I'm an obese person. I am also not a food addict. I have a sedentary lifestyle that is my choice.

By posting those pictures, you are bringing in a completely different argument: that people should not be allowed to get fat because it is unpleasant for you to see. In which case I think we should ban all tattoos, piercings, tank- and halter-tops on women who have less-than a B-cup and makeup in colors that are not natural skin-tones.

As for taxes, if right-to-suicide is a different argument, then the subsidized/universal health-care aspect is as well. I don't want my taxes paying for "that guy" in the picture, but I also don't want them paying for anyone's health care.
