U.S. obesity problem impacts automobile safety and fuel economy
( IE.. FAT People use more GAS and harm the planet )

http://blogs.consumerreports.org/cars/2 ... nomy-.html

The rise in obesity in the United States has become a huge public health and medical cost concern, but there are other impacts. Obesity has caused more people to buy larger vehicles, which increases gasoline consumption in the U.S. and fuel consumption increases with more weight in cars either from people or cargo.

One other result of the obesity problem is the increase risk of crashes as noted in a recent study and that is also due to the fact that obese drivers are less likely to buckle up because seat belts may not fit properly.
