TYLER — A new survey shows the adult obesity rate increashed in 23 U.S. states last year. Perhaps even worse, no state saw a decline in obesity.
KTBB Radio's Garth Maier and KETK asks you what is the cuase of America's ever-increasing problem with obesity?
Hum...I'll tell you what I feel is the cause for America being obese, "lack of working off the foods they eat"..Simple as that.
I am a huge advocate for all those who are overweight..I say "fine them". That's right-tax them more for thier food.
After all, if Americans can justify taxing the smoker out the ying-yang, can the smoker turn around and justify taxing ALL who are overweight-Yes!
Paybacks are tough..Maybe the 23% of Americans who are overweight should start smoking..it has been proven to decrease an appetite.
Just my thoughts.
