Should fat people be forced to get a lap band procedure?

Is this a new tack for you, Optional? I mean, ordinarily you argue from a social structuralist perspective, but in this case you are not targeting those structures, for example the fast food companies that are getting kids on their junk early through sponsoring school lunch programs, but instead you are emphasizing action on the persons themselves, an individiualistic approach.

 

I'll ask again: At what point is authoritarian rule too much for you?

 

bit heavy handed don't ya think...forcing people into risky surgery?

how would YOU define OBESITY?

 

high fives!

 

This from a man who voluntarily moved to a province with language police ("Tongue Troopers").

 

You guys be careful, you could get into trouble with the veggie libel laws. ; )

It would only be mandatory for severely obese people, so since you think it would be mandatory for you...I have to assume you are morbidly obese...

 

Morbid obesity is clearly defined...
