Very odd

I have not heard of anything of it, not even a blurb on the news. I'm guessing they're trying to mitigate their insurance payouts and are inferring that they can't be responsible for people with low IQs who don't comprehend what eating unhealthy does to their bodies, or just aren't smart enough to care. To them it's like not covering a smoker when he files a claim for lung cancer.
