Making fuel out of ethanol raises the cost of Heineken, the sole reason i'm against it.

How about imposing a fat-person tax on food? Roughly 99% of the American population is obscenely obese, like our military, causing our food supply to drain and our salaries to bleed.

You're really young aren't you? Seriously, I'm not being a smartass, but Not all 'fat' people overeat, some just don't move their bodies enough. I have a close family member who is overweight and she eats very little, much less than me actually. But she doesn't get out and walk, nor clean her house nor garden. No, she works in a job where there is a lot of sitting and some standing with the mentally/physically challenged. It's an emotionally draining job by the end of a long shift, so she's too tired to do anything else.

But even if someone is fat and overeats, it's just more money spent to stimulate our economy.

As long as you exercise afterward and drink some apple cider vinegar to cut all that grease!

I know this thin person, who constantly worries about weight issues. He's always thinking about how he should avoid empty calories, and get more exercise. He makes some really good points about obesity, and the dangers of overeating and fatty foods.

But he's trapped inside my fat body, so he's getting Little Debbie's again today, like it or not!

I just thought Little Debbies sounded funnier.
