Great comparison, and an aside.
Rosie was quoted as saying on "The View" that the public shouldn't have to bear the cost of looking for lost mountain climbers. That mountain climbing was voluntary, that they could have prepared better, and it was their responsibility for whatever costs were incurred.
I emailed her and "The View", asking that she address the costs to society of obesity, a voluntary condition which should be the responsibility of the person.
No answer. Yet.
