   Stop giving the fat fucks welfare!   
      
   If all goes well, Aliayha Carrasco-Garcia will have an operation   
   next month that will change her life. She will shed many of the   
   240 pounds that now burden her 5-foot-2 frame. Like many who   
   have bariatric surgery, she has tried diets and exercise to no   
   avail. Surgery is her last best hope.   
      
   But there is a difference between Aliayha and almost everyone   
   else who has had this operation: She is only 15.   
      
   While the number of adolescents who are overweight or obese has   
   leveled off in recent years, the number who are severely obese —   
   heavy enough to qualify for bariatric surgery — has nearly   
   doubled from 1999 to 2014, according to national data, going   
   from 5.2 to 10.2 percent of all adolescents aged 12 to 19. As a   
   result, more and more doctors and parents are facing a difficult   
   question: Should very heavy teenagers have bariatric surgery, a   
   radical operation that is the only treatment proved to produce   
   lasting weight loss in severely obese people?   
      
   The very idea fills many parents and doctors with trepidation,   
   and with good reason, said Aaron Kelly, a physiologist and   
   specialist in pediatric obesity at the University of Minnesota.   
   “We’re at a point in this field where surgery is the only thing   
   that works for these kids but we don’t know the long term   
   outcomes.”   
      
   Mexicans are like weeds.  Stop feeding the fucks and they stop   
   growing.  Do not let them in your country!
