Not surprising really. If you're constantly putting shit like that comprised of sawdust, steroids, blood, and pink chemical dye into your stomach, it'll end up poisoning you eventually.

I doubt that people are too bothered with dying a couple of years early, but the possibility of a heart attack, colon cancer or stomach abcesses might make people rethink their diets a bit.

come on have you seen some of the bloated waddlers walking down the street
they know being 20 stone overweight is dangerous but they still have a can of coke in one hand and a pork pie in the other

you can't teach some people

these things are not really that connected. at least not in a simplistic way. yes, some people are 20 stone because they eat too many burgers and sausages, but not all. and some people are fat and relatively healthy. just like some people are not fat (size/weight) and relatively unhealthy.
and perhaps the things that lead to people being extremely overweight are a little more complex than being lazy and stuffing your face.
