Are eligible for military service. Most of us lied about prior injuries and/or mental health issues when we joined anyway, but a society of fat people is going to struggle keep up recruitment. Add that onto the military becoming increasingly ideologically hostile to the people who are most interested in joining and we might have some serious issues soon

The attempt to normalize obesity has been on of the stanger things I’ve seen in recent years. Hard to understand given the health risks and costs associated with overweight people.
