I agree with you about obesity but it's probably not a lot different than smoking and heavy drinking - it's an addiction that needs to be dealt with, taxing the substance isn't a good solution IMO.
What bothers me about this thread is a lot of people don't seem to understand the concept of insurance - the idea is to spread around the risk to all of the insured. These days the ins industry wants to change that notion so they can charge individuals different amounts based on lifestyles and genetics and that is seriously fucked up.
