"Between 1987 and 2002, private spending on obesity-linked medical problems mushroomed from $3.6 billion, or 2 percent of all health spending, to $36.5 billion or 11.6 percent of spending, the study, published in the journal Health Affairs..."
I fully support taxing the fat. Shoot, tax on my rotund rearend would solve our national debt! Boy, if a fat ass tax wouldn't inspire me to lose some weight!
You see? You fat people are a crushing burden upon our economy.

I prefer to be thought of as a "less thin person". Doesn't sting as much as fat.

I have tattoos on my rearend. Each butt cheek displays a large "W" quite well done, too.
When I wiggle, boys think "WOW" in their minds.
When I stand on my head, "MOM" comes to mind.
Think I will have those tattoos removed then replaced with "FAT TAX" which is more modern. I'm too fat to stand my head, these days.

Old joke Purl but still funny. I'd always heard it told as the sentimental girl who loved her mother so much that upon her passing she had an "M" tattooed on each butt cheek. That way whenever she bent over it would read Mom.

Being a known coquette, it is logical I would reverse that age old joke to suit my personal mental afflictions.
WoW!

A seductress who could make the boys say WoW, depending on their viewpoint of course.

WHR Tax:
Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) looks at the proportion of fat stored on your body around your waist and hip. It is a simple but useful measure of fat distribution. Most people store their body fat in two distinct ways: around their middle (apple shape) and around their hips (pear shape).
Calculate your WHR tax by dividing the circumference of your waist by the circumference of your hips. Use the following tax table schedule to determine if you are exempt or subject to additional tax.
Ratio: 1.0 or greater : No tax but start eating more McDonald's hamburgers .90 - .99 : You cheated, measure again. .75 - .80 : Add $1000 in taxes. .70 - .74 : Add $2000 in taxes. .65 - .69 : Add $3000 in taxes. .64 and below : Join the military. They need 500 pound bombs.
An IRS calculator is available here for your convenience,
Fine Print: Apple shapes are exempt 2005 - 2006 year. George Bush likes apples. He doesn't like pears.

My favorite beach side fat tax snack shack!

I like the "Order Here---->" sign. And please speak directly into the microphone when placing your order.

That arrow points to where my snack orders end up!

I should give myself a little credit, or a big credit.
I am not to a point where I have to buy two seats on an aeroliner! I only make children scream and run when they see me waddling in their direction.

I think it is the sound. My thighs make thunder as they pass each other. When my skin is very dry, sometimes lightning bolts fly out.
