If Michelle Obama's Let's Move campaign continues to pick up steam economic chaos will ensue.
Let's start with food and look at the numbers.
75% of Americans are fat or obese and on average they eat more twice as much as the thinlings. This means that of all the food that is consumed by Americans over 90% is consumed by fatlings. If every American was a thinling food consumption would be reduced by close to half.
Gluttony is good for the economy. Food is 20% of the world's economy and 30% of the US GDP. An end to obesity will reduce the US GDP by 15%. A 15% reduction in the US GDP will throw the world economy into chaos and that's just food.
Many sectors will be affected. The Cascade Effect!
Let's start with the food industry. Fast food will be devastated. It's really hard to get fat without fast food. Meals will be smaller and so will the number of people going to fast food restaurants. Suppliers to the fast food industry will lose 15% of their business. Because portions will be smaller and less customers will be served. This means less equipment like freezers, coolers, stoves, deep fryers, milk shake machined ect...
The ripple effect will continue...
Smaller cars and lighter loads will mean less petroleum consumed.
The biggest economic devastation will happen to the health care industry.
The multi-BILLION weight loss surgery industry will vanish like a fart in the wind. There will be 1000's of people in the bariatric industry out of work who will require retraining. More doctors going into other fields will drive prices down causing a deflationary spiral. In economics, deflation is a decrease in the general price level of goods and services.
The multi-BILLION diet industry will also vanish like an all you can eat buffet at a NAAFA convention.
The diabetes industry DEVASTATED!
The sleep apnea industry DEVASTATED!
The power chair industry will be DEVASTATED!
Joint replacement industry DEVASTATED!
All the profitable co-morbid obesity related diseases will virtually vanish.
Because the biggest consumers of health care are fat and obese and 75% of the US population is fat or obese the entire health care industry will suffer a massive and insurmountable economic devastation.
Still not convinced? Ask yourself this. When was the economy best, in 1903 or now?

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.
