You are right. I can always exercise more and eat healthier and become less obese. You on the other hand were seemingly born stupid and despite your best efforts remain that way.
And you are right, people are not being responsible so we should definitely have govt mandates that we be more responsible. Maybe we can publicly flog fat people and shame them into losing weight if banning everything doesn't work? Of course many of the people who would be on board with something like this are also supporters of the "2+2=5 is right" and "every kid gets a trophy" programs which foster everything BUT personal responsibility.
