Only for the fast food majors.

If someone did suggest it for the first three, I’m pretty sure many people would be up in arms? When it’s against fat people though?

Smoking, drinking, and suntanning are all choices people can make. Being fat is 70% inherited and therefore very much outside of our control. It’s not the same at all, and that the councils would try to equate them is disengenious at best.
