How Obesity Stimulates the Economy

Last year, Reuters reported that the annual medical costs of obesity were double earlier estimates, clocking in at $190 billion for the U.S. And the Mayo Clinic found that obese workers cost employers exponentially more as their weights go up: For those between a BMI of 30 and 35, each person uses up $1,850 more per year in medical costs, while those with a BMI of 35 to 40 cost an additional $3,086. For those with a BMI of 40 and above, the annual added cost is $5,530, according to the estimates.

 As you can plainly see if everyone was a thinling the medical industry would be a shadow of what it is today. Thankfully patriotic American gluttons are keeping members of the medical industry rich and as any true Republican knows, the rich know what's best for us.

Another Way Obesity is Good For the Economy



Sure, we all know that we fatling increase business for the medical industry by trillions and that our needs increase energy sales but the most obvious and least talked about is the sheer about of food we fatlings consume. When it comes to food we eat over 90% of it.

Let crunch some numbers. 

A whopping 74% of Americans are fat or obese.



Your average fatling makes up about 36% of the US population and while the normaling female consumes about 2000 calories a day and the normling male consumes about 2500 calories per day your average fatling's hyper metabolism burns 3000 - 5000


The other 38% are obese, mega obese, super obse and super super obese and then there are millions in the 15k to 30k calorie per day Belly Boy class.



If MeMe Roth and the other short sighted fat haters had their way everyone would be skinny and that would destroy the US economy in ways the banksters and corporate gangsters could never imagine.
