      People who deserve the death penalty like to demonize the concept of fatness as if it’s inherently negative.

      I love it. They have more than they’ll ever need but can’t help but continue to gorge themselves. Half of them probably miss out on sleep or family or other healthy activities in their pursuit of more wealth. Financial obesity is a fantastic term that paints a very accurate picture.

        Gluttony would be a better word.

        Obesity is something else. People rarely actually want to be obese, but who is actually bothered by having too much money? I guess that makes the wording sound weird to me.
