And how do we love that sidebar with the erroneous and misleading bit about money spent on "obesity-related illnesses?" Oh, not at all.
I went into the ER with a cut wrist from a broken glass, and obesity was listed as a "co-diagnosis" (or possibly co-morbidity or "complication") on my chart and thus, statistically, sewing up wrist became "obesity-related health care." Any medical care I get as a deathfatty is classed that way because according to medicine, my fatness pollutes anything that might be wrong with me, and thus are my medical costs classified as well.
