Yes- alot of Americans are fat, and it's eating up our healthcare dollars. The government and society in general have decided to demonize smokers for high health care costs associated with smoking, but I have been an RN for almost 30 years, and I assure you, we treat many more obese people than smokers. It's just not politically correct to call out people on their eating habit like it is to call out smokers.
Something we definitely agree on. In the 16 years I've been in healthcare, it seems as though people have doubled in size. In 30 years...I can't imagine.
We probably both have the backs to prove it.
