I think it's about time fat people pay for the expenses they burden the health system with. It's ridiculous to claim that they can't afford healthy food - I can buy ingredients to make a healthy meal for four for far less than a McDonald's for one. From my perspective, and of course, this will be challenged, fat people give an impression of laziness and not being able to control themselves. The support is there, plenty online and meetings/support groups. I don't think the rest should have to foot their bill, and obesity/fat should certainly not be celebrated. The compulsory liquid diet is a step in the right direction by the NHS.
Just a day ago, and these articles pop up all the time, the UK was the second fattest country in Europe, behind only Malta, according to new research. Which is perfectly believable if you take a short stroll through town.
