Why don't we have a fat tax?
we get taxed on beer and fags.
Proven that obese people cost the NHS over £1 Billion every year, why should thin people pay for that?
Smokers pay on fags, Drinkers on beer!
Maybe we could go off peoples BMI that way the fatter you are the more National Insurance you pay.
Thin people could even get a rebate!

P@#*^#G myself right now.......you got a point! I still cannot comprehend how obesity can be defined as an illess/disabilty. I work at losing weight/staying fit. If I become a fat knacker I would expect to be sold to the dog food processing factory.

Food abuse would be wasting food, fat people tend to be highly efficient at not wasting anything.

They do tax fat people: just think about it...if you went to McDonalds and purchased a combo meal you pay your tax. However, if a fat person goes to McDonalds they would probably order the combo meal, an addition sandwhich or maybe even another combo meal thus resulting in additional tax costs!

Probably because not all overweight people 'abuse food'... There are many other reasons for people to gain weight other than food, so it would be a very blinkered label to stick on someone just because they are overweight.

Not really sure - I've been 100 lbs for the last 25 years so I've never had to deal with that issue....

fat people, not always gluttons, but they eat the wrong food, not enough veg and fruit and the frying pan is too close, put it in store

They over eat and eat irresponsibly. They also make poor eating choices.
Some people eat nervously, thats a mental condition. But most fat people over consume. Gluttons.
