Being skinny does not necessarily mean being healthy. Look at Steve Jobs.

Didn't Jobs have cancer?

Yep. So?
So does my obese friend. Guess what she is told?

My ex-father in law was skinny. He died on the tennis court. His arteries were 95% and 70% clogged, his liver showed signs of shutting down, and he just had his prostate peeled 10 months prior to his death. He was skinny.

I am skinny. Does not mean I either eat healthy or work out.

I am not saying that obesity is a good thing, because it is not. But I do not see the use of taxing unhealthy food. Make sure people can actually afford fruits and veggies, and do not rather buy a box of hamburgers, but go for a roasted chicken salad or something. Comfort food and junk food is still cheaper. Why is bottled water more expensive than a bottle of coke?
Why is junk food more expensive than a salad? Doesn't make sense to me.

So? Jobs weight was irrelevant to his dying. Cancer will get you, overweight or not.

Yep. So did the clogged arteries get my ex FIL. He ate healthy. He worked out. The only thing he did not do, was have his blood tested.

Bart showed a picture of random fat women. They may be healthier than I am. Or than my FIL was.
But he ain't paying for their medical bills, not will he pay for Steve Jobs's. Yet, when Jobs pays for it himself, it's not good either.

But he will pay for mine? Just because my BMI is 22? Doesn't make sense.
