She'd end obesity in the black community damned quick: there's no such thing as a fat plantation slave.

Dying suddenly while relatively young is an epic win for government healthcare expenditures.

OK, but the 9.4 day differential is between non-obese women and obese women, so unless there's a reason to believe obesity and motherhood are correlated, children are not the answer.

Well, mostly not the answer. There may be a correlation between parental obesity and child health, which would go some way towards explaining why the effect on sick days is much more pronounced in women than men.

On the other hand, running around after kids can be a great form of exercise.

Obesity is the key to restoring American competitiveness. As Americans become more and more obese, they will be paid less and less, until they actually become cheaper than all those skinny Chinese and Indian workers. So industry and jobs will flow back home! All we have to do is sit back, wait, and consume a few more Krispy Kreme double cheeseburgers.

Not all the fat is in government? Nonetheless it's the patriotic American's duty to ignore FLOTUS' nutrition nannyism and eat themselves into an early grave.
