fatness due to too much eating is fine.. it's your own (bad) choice.
Yeah but in addition to clogging up your own arteries you clog up hospitals with the need for treatment for something that you could have prevented. You help increase the cost of health insurance for everyone by creating a huge demand for health care. You burden your family and friends (who love you) by putting them through hell during your stay in the hospital for that coronary.

All for something you could have prevented.

Obesity is a risky lifestyle. That flab is very likely to catch up to you at some point. Is it worth it?

Yep, we're fat. I went on a trip to Europe this summer. As soon as I got off the plane at Gatwick in London I noticed how much skinnier people were.
