From The Dickerson Press?..
By a scant 2 pounds, I have slipped inadvertently into the ?fat? category as defined by the Body Mass Index. That makes me partly responsible for the 80 percent increase in the number of fat and obese people in North Dakota over the past 15 years.
Some folks are fat because they don?t have the spunk to fight their ancestral genes; others are fat because they were raised on French fries and carbohydrates; still others are fat because they stopped working and kept eating. Regardless of the alibi, fat creates all kinds of public problems.
Treating obese patients is terribly expensive. I heard that an obese person with appendicitis made it necessary for the Williston hospital to call a fracking engineer from the oil field to help find the inflamed organ. Do you have any idea what a fracking engineer costs?
At the Fargo airport, an obese gentleman had to go through the body scanner twice to get total body coverage.
In a fit of mindless courage, Mayor Mike Bloomberg announced that New York was taking charge of the fat problem by banning soda (pop) sales of over 16 ounces to kids. Of course, the guzzlers and their mothers protested.
?It?s nobody?s business if we let our kids get fat,? they protested.
