Anyway. smokers and drinkers for the moment arent a good comparison, they pay in specified product taxes many times more into the system than illnesses that MIGHT be related to those habts cost, without them and their taxes the NHS would have crumbled decades ago
Overeaters on the other hand CANT make that claim and of the three groups are the only one that IS a financial drain to the NHS, the other two will have paid enough extra taxes for that indulgence to deserve private quality health care and a gold plated bed to recouperate in
its only fair then that the government impose a fat tax…the more you weigh, the more you pay :lol:

theyve been discussing it already as well as denying healthcare to fatties
Thing is tho, non fatties would en masse (pardon the huge wobbly pun), and the government know that, but it would be another fraudulent tax as with automobile taxes, beer tax, ciggy tax and most taxes
Fraudulent because it would be collected to cover the cost of additional healthcare costs, but would then be wasted on anything except the NHS which would then still be suffering under the weight……..(lol, soz couldnt resist haha) or weight related illnesses and the illnesses of related weighty people who they would then still try to deny care to anyway as has been suggested for smokers, drinkers and overeaters already
Which under any other guise whatsoever WOULD be called fraud, but when a government does it people seem to retarded to see it for what it is

Its quite ironic that Ive just started watchin a program on BBC3 about teenage boys who are anorexic!
The complete other end of the scale is that a lot of kids are now over obsessed with images of what they should look like.
My ten year old asked me today if he is fat :shock: he is tiny! well not really tiny but normal. I dont think I even gave my body image a thought at such a young age.
I was too busy having fun!
Then again he even uses deodrant….. think he is gonna be a handful :shock: :lol:
Dont panic too much about it until you start having Pabo and La Senza parcels arrive addressed to him lol :lol:
Do they actually get to him though…… :wink: pabo… lmao we ordered something from there years ago and they carry on sending you stuff all the flippin time!
I never updated our address when we moved 8)

Potato scones?! Methinks someone has been in England far too long :lol:
My aunt thinks I don’t eat and she’s always surprised at how skinny I am despite not being any thinner than I was last time I saw her.
She’s extremely unhealthy due to her weight yet she has a go at me :roll:
