Is it fair to fine fat people for not dieting?

Overweight welfare claimants in the US state of Arizona face paying $50 (£31) fines if they don't follow a dietary regime laid down by their doctor. Is that fair?

Just as American waistlines - like many in the Western world - continue to expand, so does the budget to meet the associated costs.

The reason our country has been great is because we had very limited government and defended Israel.
