Finally someone has the guts to say 'Fatties, it's your fault!'

[Adamakin]

Tories telling people it's their fault if they are obese. Obviously there are some exceptions but generally I agree.

I'm not fat - I'm beating the recession and high food prices

Actually it's mr kipling's fault, his cakes are exceedingly good.

 

[Cosimo]

Yer fat, on yer bike

 

[platypus]

Something sensible for a change.

 

[antijoke]

I don't see how they can say it's anybody elses fault but their own.

 

[Subterranean]

I agree

 

[Adamakin]

Well diabetes can make people fat, but other than that it's basically pointless to blame others. Although when kids are fat that is their parents' fault really.

It's nothing new, it's always been fat peoples faults and only a handful of people have said differently.

Why don't people get annoyed at sports players who more than likely cost the NHS far more money a year than fat people.

The idea is good in concept but this bit worries me:

They would not promote the "traffic lights" food labelling of fatty and sugary foods and focus on an improved diet, rather than "fear of junk foods".

The traffic light system seems a good idea to me. It shows people exaclty how full of salt, fat and sugar some processed food are. Maybe that'll encourage them to eat fresh stuff more?

Physio is not cheap.

That's my point.

Or just stop being lazy ***** and start cooking some proper food instead of just eating ready-meals which we all know are not particularly good for us.

So you think every fat person eats rubbish?

That's an interesting point, i have probably cost the NHS considerly more than an average person due to the amount of injuries ive picked up playing sport.
I don't know where i stand on that, if you stop people playing sport then obesity problem will increase and people will have to find something else to do, whether it be sitting on a pc or going out and causing trouble. While if you try to cut down on obesity you dont have any of those 'side effects'

That's sort of my point, maybe the traffic light system will help them avoid ready meals.

No. Just the majority of them.

 

[Glaucus]

Apart from eating disorders, sports injurys and other such stuffs. there's always side effects to everything.

People should just stop complaining. Live and let live. Do fat people impact on your life? No, so why do people attack them.

lol at that

What 'sports players' are you talking about? If you are a professional sportsmen you dont use the NHS lmfao.. and even if you are an amatuer sportsman that actually cares about doing well and not elite level you will still go privately and/or only use specific surgeons/doctors/physios that your fellow athletes or coaches recommend.

Most of them do, yes.
