You gotta fight, for your right, to beeee fat…

Apologies to the Beastie Boys. The European Union signed a charter to ”attempt to compel national authorities to take concrete action to combat obesity”. How about making it illegal to serve certain kinds of food to fat people? Maybe European restaurants will have ‘weight monitors’ at the doors like bars have bouncers. Too fat, you can’t come in. Why is this a government issue? Does the government tell people what to eat, what lifestyle to live, and in some cases assign genetic predispositions? Of course it doesn’t. This is a personal issue. All of the government rules in the world won’t solve this problem. Maybe Europeans will put all of the overweight people on a train and send them to camps where they can work off the pounds (except in Germany).
