Now that we have all see to come to a consensus regarding obesity as not being "contagious" or a "disease", but more of a personal lifestyle choice. (Please debate this, if you wish). I would be interested to know your guys' opinions on Medicare and other handicap/government disability benefits going to those who are obese.

Personally, I feel the government should not offer assistance or any disability benefits to one who chooses to be obese.

I find myself in a quandary though in regards to benefits to those who's obesity influences other actual medical problems such as heart conditions. They do have a medical condition that should and does receive government assistance, however I question the cause of their condition............
