It’s much easier to wear and police seatbelts, and totally worth it. If you could feasibility do the same for high BMI, yeah, that’d be great, but they’re not really comparable. The imposition on the individual would far outweigh the benefit to society.
Seatbelts? Wooooooow, must be so hard to put it on, right? Such an effort!! Seriously, what a whinge.
People who whinge about the “nanny state” really need to get a grip.
The cost to your “freedom” here is negligible, whereas the benefits are undeniable.
Seriously, get a grip.
Edit to add: from Australia. So don’t lump me in with your right-wing liberals
You can’t be serious. It’s far easier to police high BMI, since it’s much more obvious and way easier to spot fat people in public who are a danger to themselves (and to that healthcare system you’re so concerned about) than a small strip of fabric at a distance through the windshield of a moving vehicle.

Wow, “we should have cops police BMI” is definitely not the argument I was expecting. You clearly are Australian.
The imposition on the individual would far outweigh the benefit to society.
You’re so close! Soooo close! Just dust off that brain and try to follow the breadcrumbs!
the benefits are undeniable.
Then it should have been super easy for someone in this thread to name one, and yet…

Oh, I’m not, trust me. I’m lumping you in with one of the absolute worst countries for personal liberties in the free world. Seriously Australia, get a grip.
