Healthcare, Education: Two Reasons to Worry About America's Future

to be more specific and to the point it is as you say "The interesting thing is that the lower class/lower income are the most obese portion of the population" and I add " you will find they are also the ones with little education".

Healthcare, Education: Two Reasons to Worry About America's Future

on one hand you have a problem where the free market have caused a weight problem in America because they have the right to choose and they have chosen to be fat, on the other hand you have a dumbed down populace due to our poor Public School system because in America most dont have the ability to choose because the Gov has chosen for you. You imply to worry about our future because of these but then focus on how to profit from its failure, maybe thats exactly why we have the problems we have today and thats why we see the erosion of our free market system being orchestrated by the Administration, now nobody wins
