Why is it that society finds fat people accetable? If a person in magazines or on TV is slim we moan about creating a bad image for young girls, but when fat people appear in public, we congratulate them and tell them how good the are, so we condone fatness, making young people think that being fat is right. Double standards again, no thin people more fat people thats the message we are sending. It is not ok to be overweight, it costs us money and people loose lives. Human rights seem to sway us into accepting fatness and never being negative about it. I think we SHOULD tax the fat!!
6 August, 2006 at 3:26 pm #233759This has been covered many times. Fat to me is as bad as thin. If you are too thin you are felt sorry for and put into a clinic to “recover” but if you are fat then you are disgraceful! Fact is tax the fat tax the skinny!!!! Both can kill and both cost tax payers money so look at it from both angles before you judge!

6 August, 2006 at 8:25 pm #233761Yeah, balls. Loads of people do stuff that effects their health in the long run. Those with a taste for tobacco or drink, like me, pay extra money to the state in duty. Chubsters, like Cath there, pay extra amounts of VAT through all the choccy they consume.
I reckon health care professionals just need to give us the advice and, as Lambrini says, they do this quite effectively, and then just shut the devil up and patch us up when we get broken.
