What really needs to go away is this epidemic of emotionally-manipulative special pleading that has drastically increased in density on Hacker News over the past five years or so.

Comments like this one are antithetical to the goals of HN - curious, reasonable, intellectual discussion (including about topics that may be somewhat political in nature).

Ok, bring it on.

We have obesity rates reaching 50% in many countries. Morbid (morbid comes from the Latin word for death...) obesity in the US is 7% and growing.

Pray tell, how are you going to solve this epidemic through personal responsibility?
