We might need them in shape for a war someday.

Of course, your question is a parody or ironical, but even though, there can be some elements of humor, can I help it if it reminds me of the Holocaust, which should not be trivialized under any circumstances.
Original version 1976 by Pastor Martin Niemöller
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.
Time
Another variant was printed in Time magazine on August 28, 1989, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the start of World War II. This version read:
First they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left
to speak up for me.

Why is it that no one can respect anything or anybody? Obese people are just like you and me and they deserve respect. Fat isn't what makes people good or bad; it is the disrespect everyone who is 5,10, 25 or more pounds overweight gets from someone who could be just as obese someday as they - the only thing is they are not yet obese. When you get obese I hope you get no more respect than you give those who are obese today!

Sure, right after they round up all the dummies who didn't complete high school and FORCE them to finish with an "B" or better grade.
They are the biggest drag on our economy and our country.

Sure. I think so. This would apply habits for a healthier America, and reduce the cost of healthcare insurance overall - since the cost of insurance of ANY nature is based on the averages of claims!

You seem to have an obsession with obese people. Do you like to slap the thigh and ride the wave in or what?

Sounds like an idea swiped from one of the current 'health-care reform' proposals.
