I thought i was spot on with my description.

Are medical costs associated with treating obese people limited to the patient themselves? Or is there a societal cost? You do realize that i agree with your earlier comment where you state sarcastically "it's not the parents fault they buy the fast food"? Sure sounds like you're blaming the parents there. And how dare the first hypocrite lady eat a burger and fries!
