NOT being sympathetic, but IMO this has a “plus side”(HA,HA!). If the fats buy their tarps online, that’ll greatly decrease the degree to which they pollute the malls and stores with their offensive presence. I’ll never argue with anything that diminishes fat presence in stores and malls.

The counter argument is that with a majority fat and lazy populace, the roads are clogged with delivery vehicles and loads more greenhouse gasses are emitted. Just anecdotally, the filthy fats on my road get absolutely everything seemingly delivered. So what we might win with keeping them at bay and housebound, we currently lose in the long run in other ways. Is it a fair trade off? Currently I'd argue yes, but as the trend continues... house kept shut-ins will be a big problem for societies other than the companies sending a van round to deliver a longer wiping implement.
