    You really do need a psychiatrist. I think a lobotomy would be suitable for you - I don't see much hope of an alternative cure. I know 5 year olds who can make a more intelligent contribution to the this forum than you.

    Do you know what a plamet is then? It beat me.

    Or they could make healthy food cheaper and increase the price of junk food. I think that would be better.

  • the obese are the symptoms of our disgusting consumption based me-me-me society.

    what would they do if we went back to rationing? most of them have no hobbies except eating all day.

    Install scales on chairs in all restaurants, tax the obese 50% VAT on their food.

    solve the deficit, save the plamet

    If you wanted to save the pla"N"et they wouldn't be in the restaurant in the first place :rotfl:
    I came in to this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left. :rolleyes:

    People become obsese for many reasons. Even those who eat moderately can become obese if they had many obese people in their ancestors - it comes down to genetics a lot of the time. I know someone who eats like a horse and is as thin as a rake - explain that?
