If your insurance charges more for obesity, can you really blame them?  The number of people who are considered "obese" in the United States is downright embarrassing.  There is no excuse for people to be obese.  Sure, there is a lot of junk food out there as well as advertising that makes us crave certain foods, but have we no self control?  Do we not have a choice in the foods that we choose to put into our bodies?  There is no one out there forcing us to drive our cars to the nearest McDonalds or Burger King drive-thru so that we can get the supersized version of a meal.  We are the ones who are to blame, and more and more insurance companies are beginning to recognize that.  In fact, some insurance companies have dropped obese people all together.  Critics argue that the obese are the ones who need the help; however, they need to begin to help themselves.  It is a shame that we have come to rely on medical procedures such as gastric bypass surgery to help us lose unwanted weight.  Eat right and exercise.
