There are a lot of over weight people atm. I noticed a lot more in Melbourne. A lot of fattys walking around stuffing their face with Maccas and just being pigs.

But obese people don't like to be reminded they are fat thus your idea might be good in theory and kind of makes sense, BUT obese people will play the discrimination card very well.

As a smoker I am disgusted in the way the anti smoking board has now bullied us smokers into quitting. I knew from an early age what smoking does and the effects but I choose to take it up. I deal with it. Sure it ads strain to public services and the cost to the tax payer, but so does drinking yourself into a stupor, then driving home to end up wrapped around a pole and involving others that didn't need to be. I don't drink and I am fed up of going out and having to deal with drunken idiots or hearing about a friends friend who decide to drive home at 4 in the morning despite all the warnings etc. Why can't they be treated the same way? Alcohol is just as deadly as tobacco yet its treated differently because its part of the culture.

Anyway I am raving on now.

to be perfectly honest i think that society needs to take more responsiblity for obese people.

People in london are the most filthy eaters i've ever seen.

A normal meal for them is baked beans, mash potato, chips, gravey and an omlete...

that is just filthy and i marvel at how people eat it. I work with girls who are dieting and they will say things like ; Crumpets have zero fat in them so i ate 4 for dinner last night and then ate 2 for breakfast or I ate a tuna salad but i doused it with mayo to give it flavour.

I try and tell them (nicely) that even food that claims to have zero fat in it will still make you put on weight.

Reminds me of the seinfield episode where they all gained weight eating low fat yogurt (I think it was yogurt)

Yeah I lived with a pom many moons ago and his diet was disgusting. He would eat crap for breakfast and drink lemonade at 8 in the morning like he was having dinner. Not only that, the amount of fatty fried food he ate was horrible. He used to rave about being able to eat so much crap and be skinny. But that doesn’t matter as his cholesterol would have topped 6 easily.

Its the amount of preservatives added to many foods these days that worries me. I eat my share of junk and feel bad afterwards, but sometimes its hard to escape all the processed foods and for people on low incomes its not an option as its cheap. Organic food is too expensive for most.

In 10 years time it will be sad too see parents out live their kids and we can thank the multi nations for being down right greedy.

yeah the poms don't really put on weight even though they eat alot of fried foods. Have you heard of the 'heathrow injection?' Anyway when aussies come over here and eat like the poms they turn into fat pigs

Organic is the way to go. You can buy food on the cheap here and most people do, but its crap ready meals etc. So people skimp on food so they can go out drinking, buy clothes etc. "f that, i'd rather spend and extra 10 quid on good fresh food". I mean that is like 3 bloody pints

Obese people need to take responsibility for their own actions
If they are obese and going out eating fatty foods like Maccas every day then they deserve to be fat..
What really s me off is Fat people who complain that they are fat, even though they stuff maccas down their throats so often

As a non-obese person my views are :
1) They should be allowed to eat whatever they want
2) The place to have that sort of attitude is when they turn up in the emergency room having a heart attack, because they weigh 140 kgs. Not to refuse service, but to make them pay the costs (if they can - eg. a fat person with 200k in non-primary house assets, operation costs $40k, now left with $160k).
3) Do not change the specifications of seats, loos, doors etc. to make them wider. If they can't fit in or through what's worked as a good size for over 100 years, then maybe it will shame them into losing weight. If not why should the disciplined pay for others laziness ?

of course some obesity is caused by problems with the thyroid etc (?). But i get your well made points.

i think comparing alcohol with obesity/fast food whilst good in theory isnt good in practice. granted the "no more for you" line has merit in that there is concern for the health of the patron, but with grog isnt it also because they may get behind a wheel get into an accident as well.

Yeah but every guy has a fat notch on his belt, whether its from desperation while paro, comedy value or the belief that fat chicks bang like theres no tomorrow because they arent sure when their next beef injection will come. (unintentional pun there sorry)
