You’re worth more FAT than skinny: Obesity as economic opportunity

"So get out there and do your part to grow the economy: Eat more
'healthy whole grains,' frequent your Big Box store selling
cellophane-wrapped, ready-to-eat processed food, and see your doctor
who is ready and able to prescribe all the drugs you will need. If you
(or your employer) pay your healthcare insurance premiums, well, then,
you bear the burden of costs, not to mention the burden of disease. If
you are not diabetic, overweight, or unhealthy, well then, you simply
are no use to Big Food, Agribusiness, or Big Pharma!"

"Obesity and a sedentary lifestyle - Being overweight and lack of
exercise increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. The American Diabetes
Association recommends regular exercise and a diet modest in fats and
high in whole grains."

Yes, by all means, if you have diabetes and/or insulin resistance (the
inability to process carbs), eat more carbs (sugar!) and less fat!

What a bunch of maroons.
