Obesity costs $270 billion

Quote:
The total economic costs for obesity in the US is $270 billion per year Canada is about $30 billion a year, a new study shows. The $300 billion total cost in the US and Canada varies from the increased need for medicare, loss of worker productivity and disability of active workers. The study was compiled by the Society of Actuaries (SOA).
Between food stamps and then paying for gastric reduction surgeries and other obesity issues. it seems expensive.
