I'd have to see some data to be convinced. There is nothing more problematic to health than aging. If we make all "fatties" thin we'll eventually get a bunch of geriatric cancer or dementia patients, or some other expensive age-related health problem (e.g. what is the lifetime healthcare cost-burden of obese people who live on average to 65 vs. thin people who live on average to 85 - just making up numbers here)
- rootusrootus 2y agoI agree. Fat people dropping dead in their 50s and 60s are way cheaper than the folks who hang on into their 90s getting steadily more infirm with chronic disease. I still expect that the cost will reach a point where insurance companies opt to 100% subsidize so everyone who wants it will get it.
