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!!
Slim peopel dont get maoned about, its THIN people that get roared at.
Its up to the individual on what they chose to be, it is afterall a choice. If your heavy you can diet. If your anorexic there is help available.As for your last comment, what utter s h i t ! What about smokers? Drinkers? Drug users? Should we tax them per hit?
Or is it you have issues with weight?7 August, 2006 at 8:40 am #233769@tadpole wrote:

Or is it you have issues with weight?We can hardly tax drugs can we? They are illegal so surely taxing them would condone them :roll: Yes I agree more tax should be added to cigarettes too but hopefully it will be banned soon. And yes more tax on drinkers too!!!! If you can diet when heavy then do so!

This 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!
I always do!! Over weight people cost the NHS billions of extra ££s every year so they should help to recover those costs simple as.

omg what planet r u on???????????????? dont you dare judge anyone without knowing the facts, people with eating disorders, or of different sizes???? are you saying they are bad people??????? you know what try attacking an issue that really matters , anyway since when did a fat perosn get congratulated :?: :? :? human rights does not sway us anyway at all, human rights gives people who r ‘different’ to in some peoples mind the right to be treated with respect……..any way how many people do you know that are perfect weight for height, dont smoke, eat a well balanced diet all the time, dont drink, dont do drugs,,, show me the perfect person ????????? ive yet to meet them………
so before you go knocking you fellow human being, be outraged about something that matters ffs, and for information yes i guess im classed as fat, im a size 20 and have more energy and get up and go than my own kids sometimes who are size 8 and 10…….. and half my age……i cant believe im trying to justify myself to a person who started such a moronic thread ffs :evil: :evil:
hitler beleived in the perfect race hmmmmmmmmm I rest my case……..
You are a size 20 I dont expect you to agree! :roll: How am I knocking anyone? Overweight people cost the NHS billions of extra ££’s every year so they should pay for it, instead of making excuses. And society rambling asking who’s perfect, what a cop out. Hopefully smoking will be banned soon and yes I agree with taxing more on booze and air travel too. Obviously we cant put taxes on drugs since they are illegal!!!! Anyway this debate is about overweight people not drinkers smokers and junkies, why are you trying to sway the subject?

I must be living in a parallel universe …. I have yet to find the signals which say fat is good!
We are bombarded with information nowadays, regarding what we should/should not eat, what percentages of saturated fats/salt/E numbers/calcium/vitamins/proteins are good/bad for us …. We are more aware nowadays of what we put in our mouths and its likely consequences than we have ever been.
To say that we condone fatness is very silly indeed ………. In my humble opinion :lol:
Fair doo’s I say what I see, thin celebs plastered over mags with anorexic written on and larger celebs with luscious curvy ladies written on!! The general coments on this forum are as I suspected!! Says it all really.
