Raise the price of junk foods? Use the extra tax to put a little towards their health cost.

That wouldn't really work, lots of healthy people eat junk food but in moderation. I love oreos but a box will last me a month or two, it's not a single snack. I think it needs to be on a broader spectrum. I was thinking something along the lines of raising taxes, and if you can prove your in the healthy range, you get a tax credit. It's not just healthcare that's more expensive, larger seats, more maintenance on vehicles, elevators etc fattys ruin everything. There was talk about making seats on roller coasters fatty certified, and you know the cost of that is going to covered by increasing the admission fees for everyone, not just the fattys who need it. Plus it's going to get to a point where seats etc are so large they can't accommodate human sized people anymore, we'll need special harnesses to keep us from falling out.
