Even that would be better than allowing them to continue down a path that cost taxpayers like myself billions every year. The problem is, is that the US does nothing about it and even encourages their disgusting behavior. You weigh 400lbs in Japan, you have to seek medical attention and correct the problem, it is not optional. If you live in the US and weigh 400lbs, you get a plaque on the wall of some burger joint for eating a 10lb burger, while your medical and living expenses are covered by disability - a disability you ate yourself into and now everyone pays for. We enable these "people" by basically saying "Even though you have made shit life choices and contribute nothing to society, we will help you continue down this shitty path by supporting you monetarily." It should be the opposite.
