Obesity puts a drag on the wallet as well as health, especially for women.They deserve less since they produce less and cost more.
Doctors have long known that medical bills are higher for the obese, but that's only a portion of the real-life costs.
George Washington University researchers added in things like employee sick days, lost productivity, even the need for extra gasoline — and found the annual cost of being obese is $4,879 for a woman and $2,646 for a man.
But somehow, despite the alleged costs, they manage to find the money to buy too many Calories.
Go figure.
