not really, I have yet to find one person that is over weight that truly wants to be. I know a ton (including myself actually) that are either trying to lose weight or use excuses as to why they can't. sure there are a few people that have physical reasons why they can't, but most just use that as an excuse to help dissipate the embarrassment of being over weight. the government stepping in gives them an easy way out. 99.99% of obesity is caused by bad diet, a very easy thing to change
