You are what you eat. Put the effort in to eat better and the results will speak for themselves. Anything else is just an excuse.
It isn't complicated, in fact it is the simplest thing in the world. Consume less calories than you use and you will lose excess fatty tissue.
Every other rationalisation is ******.

This story just seems to be rather fail.
Also it is simply about willpower, but more so being able to think for ones self, too many people rely on other people with very little caution involved.
It is also a balancing act, your nation is obviously too infatuated with trinkets and "valued" items, that usually either don't last or are detrimental, but seductive like fast foods.
This balance is natural and quite frankly should just run its course, asking government to get people thin is a nail in a very large coffin.
DO IT YOURSELF.

The article linked in the OP also indicates that in the time he has been in the country he had lost 30kg out of his initial 160kg, or almost 19% of his original weight ... So he had been reducing his weight so the decision would appear to be unfair ...
... but this is a weight related thread in GD so that doesn't matter as it'll descend into the usual cretinous halfwittedness that all weight threads in GD do ....

Why? The food industry has shovelled rubbish at people for years! Look at America part of the reason they are so fat is the use of nasty addictive sugars such as high fructose corn syrup. There's plenty of research on the addictive nature of sugars, the food industry have exploited this got us hooked on rubbish making them rich in the process, the side effect is obesity. Of course people need to exercise more and eat less, but that's only part of the solution, there needs to be a back lash against the food giants
It's not the fat people loading up the NHS it's the open door policy on immigration thats filling the country full of every piece of allowance sucking trash from Europe.
I always thought it was America that was the land of opportunity, Britain is well and truly the new Mecca for that (in more ways than one as well).

It's morally dubious but then I don't like fat people so power to them. Plus NZ is a beautiful country; they can do without even more fatties blighting their stunning landscapes.
It's always going to be the fat people trawling through the science books, desperately looking for research about how thin people could be just as likely to get type 2 diabetes, etc. Unfortunately it remains that obese people cost more on average to health services than thin people. Since fat is a lifestyle choice, irrespective of terrible excuses about shift work and poverty, then don't cry foul when a very sensible country doesn't want to pay for your fatness.

An immigration policy that excluded people based upon their weight, would probably have little effect upon the overall health of migrants entering this country. For one thing, it wouldn't apply to people coming from other EU member states, and even if they could apply it to them, the human rights brigade would force the issue and the government would back down, as usual.
Other than that.. ban the fatties!! make them work in the quarries breaking rocks, make them run to work every day until they get fit, and if they fall and die.. they were weak!!

Jesus.. i always find the Vitriol in these threads amazing #31 and #32 being great examples.
Its weird on a forum where racism and Homophobia will get you banned saying that stuff is completely acceptable and it would appear, as a thread is posted once a week, encouraged?
Replace the word Fat with Negro or Jew and its ....

Although agree in the spirit of what you said, BMI is flawed. For example when doing manual work your BMI is higher which exerts more energy which requires a higher diet. Around about the 30~ mark can be fine too. BMI only takes in account weight and height, not waist or general fitness. So someone under the BMI index of average may actually be unfit.
Only reason I know is my medical insurance for when I did manual work required me to have tests before they insured me on the basis my BMI was too high according to the doctor at the time.
It is obviously not like this in every case of course, weight is a massive health issue. Sadly the BMI is not a good indicator of general health, infact it may label people as healthy who are not. BMI should be followed with some other tests before you label anyone as unhealthy.

The right to live in this country is governed by a number of practices and I have no problem with the one which requires immigrants - like me - to not be a high risk future burden on a country which is not your own and which you have not financially contributed to for a number of years.
Don't get bent out of a shape because a country decides that you are not a good fit, crap pun intended.

My philosophy is that anything we choose is fair game, whether the molly-coddling, touchy-feely modern world agrees or not. So that includes being overweight, religion, being a trainspotter, or supporting Chelsea (the worst by far).
Of course there are a tiny minority of overweight folk who are overweight through genuine genetic defects. But even this tiny, tiny minority have the power to influence their shape and fitness. So while I'm not going to suggest we put badly disciplined eaters in the stocks and pelt them with rotten veg, I do think the whole "we must respect everyone" culture has encouraged and even promoted unhealthy lifestyles which are unsustainable.
The New Zealand example is perhaps not a good one, and appears to have come out of the blue for this bloke after a long stay in which his weight was consistently problematic, but in principle I see no reason why a nation can't put health restrictions on immigrants.
I would be less comfortable if cancer sufferers were excluded, but even then a smoker with lung cancer is hard to sympathise with. However you couldn't prove the lung cancer was connected with the smoking, so that'd be a very sticky wicket to defend.
A sticky bun wicket is a different matter. We all have the ability to control what we consume, even if it's harder for some folk than others due to hormonal weaknesses or lack of self discipline.
Of course three weeks into my annual weight correction phase -- to make up for the gluttony I'm as prone to as the next man -- probably makes me even more argumentative than usual on this topic.
What you put in your body is still 100% your choice last time I checked. It's not like McD came round last night, force me to the floor and stuffed my face full of Cheese burgers.
Fruit and Veg is dirt cheap despite what the loony left would have you believe.

Yet you seem damn plain to make sure in every thread about immigration to bang on how people complain about it too much in the UK, or how they are racists/xenophobic/bigoted/stupid for not wanting it.
