Report: Obesity hurts your wallet and your health

Good.
Obesity puts a drag on the wallet as well as health, especially for women.

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.
They deserve less since they produce less and cost more.

But somehow, despite the alleged costs, they manage to find the money to buy too many Calories.

Go figure.
