Insurance companies have been discussing charging higher premiums for overweight/obessed people. Just like the law they have for smokes that have to pay more because of the drastic increase in obesity in not only adult but children in the past 5 yrs

Dear SMB0603
My take on your question is 'Yes and No' Should any one continue to be an obese person, he or she has to spend more on eating excessive junk foods which is not needed for survival. But if the obese person decide to become a healthy eating persons he will save money by buying cheaper and healthier foods. His or her healthy body will be more productive which is expressed in higher income and better living life style. OK? Thanks! Bro Joe.
