The more that gets fat, the more they need us. We are the suckers that look after them, we are the suckers that pay for them etc. They should kiss our ass, because without us they would have nothing. If it gets worse, the system could explode. Then they would have to do something for their food for an change.

Excellent point—after all, who is doing the hard work of lifting and flipping bariatric patients, for example? It certainly isn’t one of their fellow obeasts! It would be poetic justice if one fine day all the human sized EMTs, nurses, etc went on strike to protest caring for these munchie-monsters.

What also has to happen eventually is there simply won't be enough fit people to do this work. You can't have the majority of the population in need of ongoing medical care and expect that there will be enough nurses and beds to go around. At some point, people will be left to suffer on the street because there is literally no one to spare. That bubble will pop before too long.
