Obese people take up health care resources that could go to keeping kids healthier at lower cost or making those resources more available to kids in an emergency.
asides from obese people / poor lifestyle choice people taking up health care resources, not only from Covid but they're also taking up resources from all other ailments that comes up BECAUSE they're obese. As well the culture today encourages plus size, like it's asking to overwhelm the healthcare system
