Not that I agree with the quote but, can you explain the irony?

  Wall Street's irresponsible behavior -- several orders of magnitude more irresponsible than making the wrong dietary choices -- cost the American public quite dearly around 2008, remember?

  Bailouts and ZIRP facilitating and propping up the great American casino which he was a part of cost trillions of dollars. That isn't even counting the many Americans who have been scammed via their mortgages or 401Ks. I'm not sure what fat people cost the taxpayer. Given that they typically pay their own medical expenses, I would guess not a lot. Also, clearly their sad state of affairs is due to the quirky American agricultural and food processing industries. France doesn't have this problem with obesity and neither did the US in 1970. I don't see him crying out for a special tax on Monsanto. Maybe because his portfolio would take a hit. Either way, this facebook post is pretty representative of the inhuman views that American neo-royalty holds.

  Maybe because wall street was deemed "too big to fail" and propped up with billions upon billions when it collapsed?
