There Should Be A Fat Tax
If you are overweight you should have to pay "fat taxes" till you lose weigh(unless you can't help it) there's a state doing it already

Not a tax, but how about just some good old social ostracism? People on government food assistance should not be allowed to be junk food either, especially if they are fat. Why do people let their weight get to the point that they cannot even leave the house or walk? Even if they have some sort of metabolic or thyroid problem, by that time it is totally inexcusable.

Which state has a fat tax? Because I may want to move there, that's an unconstitional law, and I would sue them for a fortune. The constitution provides that the laws of the land will be equally applied, so if that law doesn't exist in New Mexico or some where else, it's unconstitutional. Not to mention stupid.

To create a "fat tax" is in violation of our most beloved principals, which derive from the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

What are the facts concerning this "fat tax"? Do you know?

There are at least two things wrong one
if you really Love Jesus then you wouldn't be so predgidouse (excuse spelling) against fat people. Two examine the debate as if you where someone who had to pay the "fat tax" what would you do would you take the time to try to loose weight or would you just lie and say that you cant help it. Three do you realize how many peoples self esteme you could be lowering? I mean this debate just looking at it could cause people to think they are fat and ugly and they may decide to kill themselves. Is what you really need to do if you love Jesus is share the Gospel with people. Jesus asked peter 3 times "do you Love me?" and after the third time Jesus said " then feed my sheep" and something else you could do is let people know that they are all special because God made every one of us and he sent his only son to die on the cross for you me every body even though we don't deserve it. So if you truely Love Jesus then Show every body your Love for him and show everybody His Love through you!

That's not fair.
Some people go through a rough time and eat to comfort themselves.

They should also make fast food restaurants have weight limits. If your over a certain weight then you cant eat there. Of course your height will be a factor. At the entrance of each fast food restaurant, there should be a weighing machine. After stepping on it, and it reads a weight to high, your denied entering. You'd probably have people trying to cheat and put one leg on it, but I guess people would try to cheat your fat tax law too.
