"Individuals can no longer be held responsible for obesity so government must act to stop Britain "sleepwalking" into a crisis, a report has concluded."

OK, who's strapping down these lardy feckers and forcing burgers and chocolate down them then?

Public Health Minister Dawn Primarolo said the government would be holding further consultations to decide how to proceed.

Whatever they decide it's gonna cost you!

Here comes the Fat Tax ! I wonder how they'll do it... hmmm I think a monthly weigh-in along with analysis of the taxpayer's poo poo. Brown should be good for that job.

Sounds like they'll have to appoint "Dr" Gillian Mckeith as the Sh1te Czar

You jest - but it'll come to that... guaranteed. Then not exercising tax. Then "bad" food tax. Then ...

This will all come about through deemed fatness.

Inspectors will examine your clubcard statements and based on the number of pepperamis and ready meals you've purchased they will decided whether you're actually a chunker in disguise.

If you're going to eat like a fatty you should be taxed as one. It's only fair.

Why do they always get it so wrong?!!! You'd think the law of averages would let these "experts" accidentally stumble upon the truth once in a while wouldn't you?!

I'm massively overweight. Why? Partly because I'm lazy. But mostly because I eat loads! I'm greedy. I cant say no to food - I love it the same way other people love drink, or sports, or hobbies. Its my most treasured pleasure - stuffing my face with as much lard as possible.
And anyone who says "it's a common misconception that fat people eat a lot - actually they are just as healthy as you. It is a disease/disorder/genetic trait/etc" is talkin a load of b*llocks.

Its NOT my employers fault.
Its NOT because my mam didn't breast feed me ffs
Its NOT because my city isn't hilly enough

What a bunch of overpaid retards.

What a load of bollocks. Another nail in the coffin of reason, responsibility and common sense.
The good (or bad) news is that in 20 years I will be the only slim, non-smoker, moderate drinker left and will therefore be a celebrity.

About time SA updated her profile pic. Maybe use the same pic but stretch it horizontally a bit?
