bro, eating doesn't keep your metabolism up, at least not significantly. I don't know who told you that. If it was true, then nobody would ever get fat. sleeping slows your metabolism down, which is why you don't want to be digesting food while you sleep.

The BMI scale is is HORRIBLY inaccurate. According to it, athletic individuals, like Michael Jordan when he was at his peak shape, would be considered borderline obese. On a personal note, I have been told I was overweight since I was in high school even though I was running 3 seasons of track (cross country in fall, long distance events in winter and spring) hardcore every year. It was the same when I played rugby and was in the best shape of my life. I went so far as to have my body fat percentage calculated and discovered that even though I am below 20% bodyfat (optimal for women is 20-28%) I still have a BMI of 27 (borderline obese). This is true of many of my athletic friends as well. If the gov't wants to get involved in how fat we are, they damn well BETTER COME UP WITH A BETTER SYSTEM FOR MEASURING IT!!

Drug addictions and alcoholism are genetic too. Should we encourage those too?

I like this idea Tax the fat people (not people that are only fat due to medical issues that cant be controlled). They should pay more for health care and for airplane flights (hey people have to pay more for extra luggage so if your fat you should pay more for your extra weight). Maybe then the fat people will stop f**king eating and getting fat.
