Fat voting republican – While all of America has an obese segment of the population, the worst offenders invariably occupy the strongest red voting districts. States like Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Georgia are some of the fattest in the nation.
Notice the similarities between that graph and this one.
Republicans are responsible for awful, regressive social policies and utilizing racism as a wedge issue to win votes. They are the most despicable political party in the western world. Wiping out large voting blocs of people that are naturally a drain on the society would have a political bonus for the country as a whole.
Fat driving up calories – we face a global food crisis.
If we take into consideration basic macro economic principles, the people eating more calories are creating artificial demand and driving up the price for people who can least afford it. When fatties go to the Golden Coral buffet and make three trips back, they are literally taking food from the mouths of starving children in Africa and putting it down their greasy, diseased maws.
Let’s assume for a moment that an obese person eats twice the necessary daily caloric intake, which is of course a massive understatement. That would put their daily intake at around 3600 calories a day, a conservative estimate. When extrapolated out using the percentage of American obese, that would put the American fat eating a mind numbing 367,200,000,000 calories a day. If these people were simply done away with, then, it would drastically reduce the cost of food and make it easier to distribute it to the power areas. Or, alternatively, farmers would stop growing so much food, and lessen the impact on the environment of big agro-business.
For years, American economic policy in places like South America, South Asia, and Africa has allowed us to live an unsustainable at the expense of the third world. This has involved mass murders, military Juntas, and forced famine. It is long past our time to give something back. By wiping out the obese, we would be providing food for twice as many as killed (very low estimate) as well as helping our own country.
Fat as a self-sustaining entity – What many people don’t realize is that excess fat acts as an organ. It sends urges to the brain for certain foods. Its presence discourages people from living anything but a listless, sedentary lifestyle. Essentially, once a person becomes obese, the fat becomes a self-sustaining entity designed to survive. The people are literally infected with a mind-controlling parasite.
Liberals claim that the key to fixing this is better health education at a young age, sin taxes, and expensive public information campaigns. This is true, of course, but in some of the fattest states, the populace is the most vocal against increased education spending, especially for healthcare. Healthcare expenditures were recently struck from the stimulus package, for example.
Instead of forcing these programs down the throats of the offenders, it would be much more cost effective to justify their eradication by using their own arguments against them. Republicans have for years decried increased funding for public schools in inner cities, saying that the real problems lie in the inability of the parents to parent. Failing children stuck in the poverty cycle are written off. In the same way, valuable public funds should be refused from people who do not make a concerted effort to change their domestic eating habits. Children learn how to eat from their parents, and the skyrocketing rates of childhood obesity should attest that fat parents are passing on their fat eating habits to their progeny. Since they’ve shown quite clearly their aversion to personal change, the government shouldn’t be expected to help.
