The Fat Police want to kill us.

Myway News and Reuters bring us an article about how a man owes his life to his own obesity.

BERLIN (Reuters) - A 440 pound German man discovered that being overweight can be good for your health -- if you get run over by a car.

German police said the extra body mass prevented the 30-year-old man from suffering potentially fatal injuries when a Volkswagen Polo drove over him after he braked suddenly on his bicycle at a crossroads and fell off in front of the car.

If the Health Nazis had their way, the man would be dead now.
