    Gizmo as a fat person i think we should tax fat people for being fat,

    i also believe that smokers, alcoholics and fat people should be back of the NHS waiting list

    why is it so ludicrous, if people don't look after the body why should they go ahead of the people that do care for their body?

    OK I started to watch it at 9.15pm but after 10 minutes (I kid you not) my teeth were too far on edge and my fists were clenched.

    I realised at that point it was time to stop wasting electricity.

    Fat people die earlier thereby saving the country a fortune in pensions. If everyone lived to be 100, we'd have to work to 90.

    Besides, if the NHS wasn't treating fat people it'd be giving

    operations to all sorts of people even less deserving than those who are overweight.

    But my Husband is a big guy, yet he plays rugby, goes to the gym every day and eats healthier than me but he is still huge. So if he gets ill does that mean he should not go ahead of a slim person that smokes, drinks or maybe even does drugs cause he is big?

    I'm watching 5 Disasters Waiting to Happen. Starting watching the Big Spenders but thought it was rubbish.

    Hey hey emma what he obviously works out and his fat % i would suspect is average at worse and if it was done purely on the stats like u said above then he would be above the thin person that smokes, does drugs etc. So your arguement doesn't hold water
