Fat and happy is better than stupid any day. Of course the truly stupid actually think they are smart.

Yes, if calling me names makes you feel better so be it. This thread is not about "smart." It is about personal responsibility and accepting welfare. When you incentivize bad behavior of any kind, that's what you get.

Hey you called me obese and say that I should accept it. I call you stupid and believe that you should accept it.

The stance that you have taken is directly opposite of personal responsibility. Accepting welfare and dictating what foods or drinks one decides to use with that welfare are not inclusive of each other. You aren't "incentivizing bad behavior", you are trying to intrude into peoples lives. Drinking soda is not bad behavior regardless of how you spin it.

Chuck, you are considered obese? It is not a personal shot because we are discussing obesity here. You would be the first to admit it is a personal decision you have made....I see what you are saying but the fact is people are not being responsible. 30 years ago, the obesity problem was not an epidemic. Today it is. Therefore, and especially when kids are involved, we can and should mandate that something that contributes towards obesity shouldn't be allowed when it is tax payer funded.

You are right. I can always exercise more and eat healthier and become less obese. You on the other hand were seemingly born stupid and despite your best efforts remain that way.

And you are right, people are not being responsible so we should definitely have govt mandates that we be more responsible. Maybe we can publicly flog fat people and shame them into losing weight if banning everything doesn't work? Of course many of the people who would be on board with something like this are also supporters of the "2+2=5 is right" and "every kid gets a trophy" programs which foster everything BUT personal responsibility.

Again, why you being obese makes me stupid is beyond me?...It hardly makes you a bad person or alone. But damn if you aren't touchy about it...if you were comfortable with that choice, you would think you wouldn't be.

My weight is not related to your stupidity. I am in fact completely comfortable with my weight. What I am not comfortable is allowing putz's like you to take free shots at me under the guise of discussing the topic.
