The OP is about fast food, that's why I targeted it in my comment. There are obese people even in places where fast food restaurants don't exist, Iran is an example. Both my anger and sympathy are directed toward those who are obese regardless of what they eat.
Eating fast food and having unprotected sex were only examples from a long list of behaviors that are originally personal choices but affect the general population as a whole. The examples you mentioned are from that list, and I totally agree with you on all of them. People totally ignore the outcome of their actions and live selfishly as if social responsibility was a crime.
I truly sympathize with obese people, they clearly need help overcome their "addiction" and selfishness, yes their way of life is really selfish; "let me eat and become fat and later dysfunctional, let me raise fat kids cuz I'm fat and can't ask them to go slim, I don't care how much I'll cost the health care system and spend the taxpayers' money on my avoidable obesity-caused diseases instead of putting that money in schools or treating kids with cancer".
I insist that obesity is becoming a major pandemic. Again, I invite you to read WHO (World Health Organization) statistics and see the bleak future of an obese world population.
Smoking is bad, so is eating fast food. The governments raised taxes on cigarettes to discourage people from smoking, why not do that with fast food??
why do fat people....
