what do you mean? do you not understand that low fat asian diets and hard work do not create obesity?

ahh the fact that you ignore every post which does not support you :-) classic. you are providing much amusement though, so carry on!

Did you have anything to say about the smoking or drinking issues, btw? I assume you are a teetotal non-smoker, of course.

VAT on butter and other unhealthy ingredients should do it.

We should all have an LDL/HDL cholesterol blood test when we reach 30. Those with unhealthy ratios should be made to do exercise (5K run a day for a year say, and remember, if its not raining its not training) .

Punishment for failure?

You get bumped to the bottom of the transplant list when you have the eventual coronary.

Same goes for smokers and alcoholics. Why should people who look after their bodies, dont smoke and dont drink heavily be assessed in a similar vain to those who are chubbers, smoke like chimneys and drink like moby !!!!!!?

Personally, I think they should all have enforced liposuction and thir fat turned into Biodiesel, to contribute to the UKs green energy credits.

wont work, some people have very high natural cholesterol despite being there target weight / BMI eating healthy and exercising very regularly. Same goes for blood pressure some people can be ultra skinny and fit and still get very high blood pressure even thou they dont smoke or drink

Tax them on flights / travel as well, remember non obese people subsidise clothing in shops of obese people as the price is the same even though twice as much material is used!!

So the non obese people should be subsidised for flights etc. Recently got on a flight where we all had to be weighed, should have charged accordingly.

This way it works for obese and rugby players. They get clothes subsidised we get flights / travel subsidised.

Not if they are so fat that they are housebound.

I have never heard anything so absurd as taxing the obese.:mad:
Low fat asian diets have you ever seen how much ghee they put in stuff.:rotfl:
No government would dare privatise the nhs unless they like being in opposition for a very long time.
Finally i think you are a wind up merchant with a dumb user name
