Pay up for that muffintop!!

This article today had me cracking up. It was about "fat" people & note that it's not spelled with a "ph" either!! And they ain't gonna go down like that...

I will highlight a few of my favorite sentences...

The state (Alabama) has given its 37,527 employees a year to start getting fit — or they’ll pay $25 a month for insurance that otherwise is free.

Alabama will be the first state to charge overweight state workers who don’t work on slimming down, while a handful of other states reward employees who adopt healthy behaviors.

Alabama already charges workers who smoke — and has seen some success in getting them to quit — but now has turned its attention to a problem that plagues many in the Deep South: obesity

“It’s terrible,” said health department employee Chequla Motley. “Some people come into this world big.” <-ain't nothing wrong with a little cushion for the pushin'

Computer technician Tim Colley already pays $24 a month for being a smoker and doesn’t like the idea of another charge. <- dang, my man gots a double whammy comin'! Richard Simmons to the rescue, please!!

“I’m big and beautiful and doing my best to keep my stress levels down so I can stay healthy,” Daufin said. “That’s big, not lazy, not a glutton and certainly not deserving of the pompous, poisonous disrespect served up daily to those of us with more bounce to the ounce.” <- you go guuurl!!

I have to admit this is a bit "big brotherish" but the fact that you're work gets involved in your caloric intake & body mass index is sad crazy eyes!!
