36. Obesity management, Safeway style? Not a word of "anti-trust"
Hillary puts a lot of emphasis on the doing something about the obesity epidemic. Well and good. One problem: for some people, the Insulin Sensitive types, obesity is perhaps less damaging that for others. Is this an issue we should talk about?

Also, apparently Hillary admires the Safeway approach to managing obesity. Just what is that approach, though? Higher premium costs for the obese? Access to a gym? Demerits if you don't go? Anything else?

I believe it would have been useful if she'd mentioned the word anti-trust. Of course that would have required more courage, and maybe wiser advice, than I suppose we can expect from a politician in an election season.

(Sorry, Vinca. I wasn't quibbling with your comments. This was meant to be a response to the original message. I'm still kind of new here.)
