As do smokers, drinkers, old people, children….. we all do at some stage.
But we pay taxes.
What would happen to the NHS if we all turned healthy and lived longer?
It would be scrapped.
thats not true, what about all the illnesses that arent self inflicted?! The ones people are born with for example? :roll:

you might look thin on the outside, but imagine what your insides are like :shock:
even thin people should watch what they eat and excercise you know ](*,)
So you know all about my exercise regime do you? You know that getting to work takes me from one end of the town to the other? That I don’t drive so walk everywhere anyway? Over the course of the week, god knows how many miles I cover on foot.
As for ‘imagine what you’re insides are like’ I’m perfectly aware of all that – but I’m also aware that I don’t drink or smoke.
I don’t just sit on my erse all day eating chips. Anyway, I’m not obese so go and start on some fatties that don’t make any feckin effort!

so therefore you’ve proved your own point was incorrect :lol: the NHS wont be scrapped if we all give up cigarettes, alcohol and junk food, because worthy people, such as your sister will always rely on it! :wink:
There will be a lot less revenue and less staff needed which in turn will equal closures and staff cuts and the people who have not got self inflicted illnesses will suffer.
Im looking at the bigger picture, thats all. :wink:
on the topic of obesity and the NHS, by the year 2010 it has been predicted that a third of the population will be obese costing the NHS £1 billion a year.
