and it does appear to stratify significantly toward the lower class. The issue isn't what stores are selling, it is what individuals are choosing.

What I am against is if she uses the governmental laws to force people into the behavior she sees fit.
If the mandate is upheld, I will guarantee you that fat people will be getting a higher penalty rate. Being obese is not the same kind of choice that smoking is, and it is really hard for some based on metabolic issues as well as genetics.

I like that the problem is getting face time, so I give her credit for that, but I am very leery of her pllans for implementation.
