Take That, Fatty

Now, I hate fat people as much as the next guy, but joining New Zealand's blubber bashing is not the intent of this post. (Of course, I'm kidding. Hey, I've got plenty of fat friends) The ugly reality is that New Zealand is completely justified in their eater hating. It goes without saying that unhealthy people cost society more health care dollars than healthy people do. Which is why I've always rooted for Skinny Oprah. Therefore, if my countrymen are going to pay the cost of my health care I owe it to them to stay in shape. Or, to put it more accurately, to get free check ups you must sell your body.

Once universal health care is put in place you no longer have the right to live as you choose. And if you think you do; you are an arrogant ass. The price of letting someone else pay your way is they get to call the shots. It is an obvious truth. One parents used to teach to their children. Once society is bearing the cost of one's health I challenge anyone to show me where the governor is that will allow the individual to still live as they choose. And if you find yourself responding with, "Well, so what, it will be good for that person to have to be healthy," then go with that...and let your inner fascist out. Before you sign up for the newest craze that's sweeping the soft-headed nation maybe you can humor me and ask yourself if it's really worth the cost?

And if you need me...I'll be at Krispy Kreme while I still can.
