It turns out that a Dutch study recently revealed that smokers and obese people actually cost less to care for in th elong run than people who live long, healthy lives. This really doesn't concern us all that much at S.T.U.P.I.D. People should be allowed to spend as much money as they want. It is not our concern that by allowing people to lead long healthy lives we will ultimately cost the health system more money, we simply wish to insure everyone's right to freedom by banning the behaviours that prevent them from leading long and healthy lives. |
