we do not need to be told that there is too much of anything.if i want to eat just fast food and energy drinks all day that is my choice.if people are to f***ing stupid to eat shit all day that is not my problem.soon if people like you get there way we will not be able to eat anything but vegan cardboard burgers,no thank you.

People like me feel sorry  for obese kids and young mothers weighing 16 stone (and more) putting their life expectancy at risk. People like me believe in a thing called society. Its common sense to put taxes  on high sugar, salt and carb foods.This would encourage the supermarkets  to manufacture fast foods which are less hazardous to health. And  possibly cut prices on healthy food. I would also advocate a traffic light system on food which would educate people. People genuinely don't know why they are obese and blame  big bones or genetics. Scotland has tweaked its alcohol tax and has immediately seen a reduction in deaths relating to alcohol.  Hundreds of thousands of British lives have been saved by price increases on tobacco  and by information of the harmful effect of tobacco.  I started smoking when I was 13  and only stopped 10 years later when I got the message  about lung cancer. If you can only see your own interests, then think of the extra financial  burden on the NHS which we all pay for. Public transport, especially air travel might also be cheaper if sufficient people lost weight. Might decrease excess methane  and save the planet as well Lol

Being in my 70's I get appointments for checkups by the nurse more of a bollacking really plus blood sample, blood pressure. A lecture what I should eat etc etc. I'm about 12st 10 thats about 3lb over my recommended BMI. But the bloody nurse ripping into me and not believing me when I say i walk a lot and stay active is about 18st and only a short ass. 

Cheers Arry

Self control....knowing when to say no or I've had enough... something that lots of folks these days are lacking...f**k the fatties...why the f**k should the rest of us pick up the bill and be paying taxes to keep the gluttonous fuckers alive?

If your say 2 stone over weight/your BMI... Then I believe you should get f**k all for free...there are no excuses unless your f***ing bedbound or in a wheelchair

But you could argue that they have paid more into the system via tax on all that extra food, The same with smokers, 40 fags a day is £5840 a year in extra tax Lol
