WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
Tax Obesity for a Better America
The specter of obesity looms threateningly over our great nation. Unfortunately, it has been overshadowed in the public eye by issues like global warming. Yet, the effects of obesity are just as far reaching-- if not more so.
It is well-established that the obese generate more body heat, contributing to global warming. Moreover, the visual pollution they produce is literally immeasurable. Recent studies have also shown that prolonged exposure to unaesthetic visual stimuli can result in damage to the eyes, visual cortex, and overall mental health.
We therefore propose the imposition of a heavy (no pun intended) tax on the obese.
A possible name for this proposed legislation: The Weight-loss, Health, and Logic Enforcement (WHALE) Act.
We ask our leaders to please do the right thing.
