    Sort of nitpicky but obesity does affect you in aggregate because of increased burden on the healthcare system that is more or less subsidized by healthier folks. It’s never really better to have more people subjecting themselves to avoidable health problems than otherwise.

      Maybe so but I am not of such mindset that everything I do is dictated by the wellbeing of the collective

      If I want do drugs or drink booze I am going to do it. pay up

      Truth to be said my taxes are set up in such a way that they are maybe 1/5 of usual, some pennies because officially I am a farmer for all legal intents and purposes

      Apparently I grow some wheat or something, never seen it but hey
