Fatasses should also pay higher insurance premiums. They cost our health system at least as much as smokers do.
As should little anemic and underweight twits who don't eat properly.
If you can find a peer reviewed study that backs up your assertions, have at it.
I'm trying to hit the right phrases on google...but I do know that there are a number of studies out that have shown that being underweight has some serious risks associated with it.
These include low bone density, decreased immune response, deterioration of muscles and tissues(and more prone to injury), poor skin conditions, and high risk of miscarriages.
These aren't things that typically affect people that are overweight. Note that we are clearly defining the terms underweight and overweight. This is not about the "normal" and "obese" weight groups.
