Eat the damn twinkie.
I don't care about the meta aspects of this thread, largely because I don't particularly care for meta-discussion in general. There's something interesting to be found in discussion of personal responsibility vs. personal freedom and how it relates to the 'obesity epidemic,' but I'm still waiting to see how that goes.
As an aside, I always thought that calling obesity an epidemic was odd. It's not as though you've caught an airborne contagion that makes you fat.
I also feel that 'airborne contagion' leads into some sort of joke about Crompsin. I can't quite peg it, though.
Being physically fit is hard, in that it requires effort. It's a lot more work to eat healthy meals and exercise every day than it is to eat meals in a box and attempt to become part of the couch. The evidence clearly shows that not everyone is willing to make those kinds of commitments, and I don't see that it's my place to dictate someone else's priorities in life. This is why my sole objection to obesity comes in the form of the responsibility argument. If you don't like it, change it. If you can't be bothered to change it, learn to live with it and stop the bloody whining.
