Medical Bills, Cost of Living Higher for Obese
Researchers have found that medical bills are higher for the obese, as well as the cost of living.
Researchers at the George Washington University said that things like employee sick days, lost productivity - and even the need for extra gasoline - can add up to $4,879 for a woman annually and $2,646 for a man.
The report said that is more than the cost of being merely overweight.
Next you're going to tell me that obese people have poorer diets. Or they are at higher risk of heart disease.
