Fat taxes 'could save thousands'
More than 3,000 fatal heart attacks and strokes could be prevented in the UK each year if VAT was slapped on a vast range of foods, say Oxford researchers. Linky

More cloud-cukoo thinking? Would the population of fat northern birds be decimated? (Oh, SallyAnne)

Surely fat people already pay more tax. We eat more, so we pay more tax on the food we buy. Our cars use more fuel as they have a greater weight to carry, so we pay more tax on petrol. We have to wear bigger clothes which cost more, so we pay more tax that way too.

Oh yes. I don't take offence if people call me "fat", as you can't argue with the truth. It's the same if people say I look like George Clooney - you can't argue with the truth.

Don't forget cause your so fat you have to have a bigger car like a 4 x 4 which means higher tax on that. If you go on holiday you get charged extra as you take up an additional seat.

On a lighter note, I feel ******* great today like - 4 days without fags, and I've been running round all over the place. My energy levels have gone nuts, AND I didn't cough up black gue this morning!

Maybe I DO need a nanny?
