Already 10 percent of early deaths are the result of substandard medical care. About 20 percent stem from social and physical environments, and 30 percent from genetics. The biggest contributor, at 40 percent, is behavior. Along with smoking, obesity has added to our growing list of behavior related health care costs. Since universal health care has passed, many predict more government intervention in an attempt to limit costs. 

Just consider...

In 2008, Gov. Patterson proposed an "Obesity Tax" in New York. And in March 2011 and article entitled, The $70 Billion A Year American Obesity Tax Wall Street estimates the government could collect $17.54 billion dollars each year from the four proposed sin taxes on sugar, trans fats saturated fat, and sodium , from these 12 companies that produce the most unhealthy substances in our foods.

A health event recently attended with doctors and nurses had where the vast majority over weight. Some obese. The same is true of many hospital.  There are many reasons, but some start with personal responsibility. Add a society wanting quick fixed, a medical community grounded in the "pill and knife" mentality and our over scheduled lifestyle. 

In July 2011 The AMA has proposed obese children be removed from their homes and placed in foster care taken away.  Is this the best way to establish reasonable habits?  Is a bureaucrat the best we can come up with?
