Is Obesity Justifiable?
Question by Nicholas: Is obesity justifiable?
Granted there are individuals that have serious medical conditions that impede to a normal loss of weight, as a nation and society we cherish the ‘extra baggage’ as a realistic expectation for human development. There are an overwhelming number of critically obese people (and I speak of 300+ lbs here) and I feel it is sad and melancholy experience from multiple perspectives.
On one hand, we have the argument that – “They aren’t hurting anybody. Leave them be.”
On the other hand, the contrast to this is – “They are naturally that way due to health conditions.”
I have to disagree with both of these arguments, as they are indirectly affecting a LOT when you back up the chain. Obviously one person isn’t having a dramatic effect, but en masse and on a national scale it’s been stated that obesity in our country “has the highest preventable cause of death and surmounts to a massive drain upon public resources for health care and public EBT assistance.”
