Or maybe: Fat people cost society less because they die faster.
When the tobacco litigation came to Minnesota one of the biggest fights was over whether the tobacco companies had the right to claim an offset from the damages claimed by the state for the money saved on people who died early from smoking. I know the judge ruled that they didn't get an offset, but I never understood why.
