Finally some good news!
According to a study reported in today's Chicago Tribune, it costs the government more to care for healthy people who live years longer. The long-term cost to care for smokers is $326K, obese people is $371K, and thin/healthy people is $417K.
It goes on to say that the study did not take into account other potential costs of obesity and smoking, such as lost economic productivity or social costs, blah blah blah . . .
No analysis paralysis here: I know exactly what I need to play my part in reducing the burden to society. Just when I was inching back toward 115 lbs., I get the green light to course correct.
