I'll let you figure it out what the number one cause of both of those are (hint: it involves buffets), but you are supporting my statement.
Regardless, I'm not implying these people don't exist. But I am telling you that the % of disabled people you specify, relative to obese people, is absolutely minute in comparison. There are far more obese people than criminals/drunk drivers, in both incidence and life span. Obese people are invariably unhealthy, whereas the same is not true of the other group.

No doubt, the numbers relate to each other as you say. I don't disagree.
Here is the post that Daradon was replying to when I replied to him. Daradon backed way off of the word disabled and I wonder why with my post.

Ducay is willing to throw every obese person into the same pile yet will go out of his way to help any other disabled people regardless of how they came to their disability? Doesn't make sense to me.
That's what generated my response to Daradon.
