Default Surgeon General

I know this is a little off-topic for the political forum, but with all the talk about health care and the appointment of Regina Benjamin, I thought I would ask this question: With all the talk about preventive medicine, is it a wise decision to have an over-weight surgeon general?
I know I'll get some flak for bringing this subject up, but my wife and I was listening to the radio yesterday while in the car and the conversation was getting real wild.
I personally would have picked someone to lead by example. Obesity is a major problem in USA and it costs Americans billions of dollars in health care costs.
