The food, the fat and the gluttony: it's time to help the obese help themselves

I started on this site 3 years ago, and even then, brian's debates were always entertaining to read. However, I never got the chance to debate him, and I revel in the oppurtunity. I will try to keep this debate in a humorous light.After reading through the above content, I found the exact proposition of my opponent. That proposition is as follows:" making the sale of junk food to the grossly overweight an offense "Below I will state what I surmised as my opponent's arguments.R1: Donna Simpson (the fat lady) is Killing African ChildrenMy opponent states that her caloric intake could save 10 African children, however, this would leave no calories left for poor Donna. In fact, her extra caloric intake is probably only killing 7 African children. I'm sure that we can all agree that Donna has shown great restraint and benevolence in saving those other 3 children.Now, to be (somewhat) serious. There is no set amount of calories to be handed out in the world, where if one person gets extra another gets less. The fact of the matter is that even if Donna did not eat all those sushi and cakes, those children would still be starving. Economically, it makes no sense to send sushi and cake overseas because it will spoil [1] in a very short amount of time (2 days for sushi, and varying with cakes). So, is that what you want brian? To send spoiled leftovers to starving children? As if there lives aren't hard enough without you shoving in their faces the wastes of our luxurious lifestyle.R2: Fat Lady Will Cost Tax PayersWhile it is very likely that Donna will cost tax payers money on health care, that is a problem with the New Jersey health care system and not Donna's lifestyle. I would suggest at the very least adding in a qualifier to the public health care bill saying that people cannot receive health care if they are obese (of their own fault, excluding obesity from health-complications). Don't blame the player, blame the game. I believe I covered all of my opponent's arguments, so I will now move onto my own contentions.C1: Economic DownfallFat people are essential to the economy of the world. Without fat people, we would be without fantastic victuals such as the pancake-sausage on a stick [2]. There is no way this glorious creation could survive without those who are willing to eat all that they can find, when they can find it. I don't know about you, but I don't want to live in a world where my pancakes and sausages cannot be combined together on a stick.It is estimated that 2.7 million Americans work in the fast food industry [3]. Regulating who could buy this food would cut immensely into the profits of the different fast food corporations. America is already in an economic crisis, we can't afford the addition of another 2 million unemployed.C2: It Wouldn't WorkObesity (generally) is caused by both caloric intake and by inactivity. First: Caloric IntakeObese people would not stop eating entirely, just the junk food. This means that they would still be able to get a high dosage of calories and stay fat. Second: InactivityEven if junk food is banned, this will not stop people like Donna Simpson (or even those who don't have a half ton goal). Obesity is only so widespread because of the couch potato lifestyle which has gripped many Americans [4]. You can give them the calories needed on average for a healthy lifestyle, but it doesn't matter if they still lack a healthy lifestyle.C3: FreedomAs you may have guessed (given my name), I have somewhat positive afflictions towards freedom. Our Constitution guarantees the pursuit of happiness, so long as that pursuit does not conflict with any other US laws. Controlling what people eat cannot be Constitutionally supported and would be the greatest infringement upon American rights since [insert particular American governmental injustice here]. C4: It Would Destroy AmericaI want to have fun with this debate, so I decided to add this last contention. If this law should be put in place, here are the resulting two scenarios:Scenario 1: RevolutionThe sun rises on a hushed and strained Washington D.C. President Obama looks at the clock, 4:36 AM, and wonders what could have awakened him at such an hour. Then he hears it, the marching of a thousand tons of lipids. Outside, the fat army has finally broken through the White Houses' defenses. They are closing in on the food tyrant, who sought to take away their sustenance. For months and months the obese troops have swept the nation, rolling over all obstacles in their path. Now they have reached the end of their struggle, the tyrant is within their grasp...4 years laterAmerica still lies in ruins from the Fatty War. The winning group, the obese, lost all initiative once their demands for junk food were satisfied. They lost all interest in rebuilding their war torn nation and America has become rife with anarchy and chaos. The silver lining is that the overthrow of the government allowed for a few Libertarian communities to emerge, shining utopias in a land of darkness.Scenario 2: ImmigrationThe edge of the river surges, rising foot after foot over the bank. The resulting flood devastates the border towns, and Mexican officials can only help but chuckle meekly at the irony as 100 million obese Americans cross the Rio Grande into their country[5]. In search for food, the obese herd has migrated for days, weeks, and now months in pursuit of junk food. Mexico, which still allows such luxurious treats, has been the target of their desire. This wave of illegal immigration leads to decreasing diplomatic relations with Mexico, and eventually round 2 of the Mexican-American War. Mexico, of course, is easily defeated once again. However, this situation also leads back to Scenario 1, as the obese people who migrated are unwilling to give up their right to junk food.ConclusionWe need to allow all people, big or small, to eat as they please. Actually, I take that back, DON'T FEED TROLLS. That is all for this round.[1] http://answers.google.com...[2] http://www.google.com...[3] http://en.wikipedia.org...
