Yeah - Supermarkets should be like Pubs. "Sorry mate you're too fat I'm not serving you!!!"

LMFAO!

Smokers, drinkers, bikers, people who overdo sport, clumsy people... All cost the nhs...

This current trend of going ape over a bunch of overweight people is, in my opinion, pretty damned pathetic. More media-enhanced hysteria.

Blessed art thou who live the perfect lifestyle... good ol' wholesome bunch that they are.

It seriously gets my goat when I see this sort of anti-fat griping. There have always been fat people. I'm related to 'tubbers', yeah sure they could do with losing weight, better they hadn't got that way in the first place but it happened. The sheer force of will it would take to cut down and conform to 'healthy' standards is a HUGE undertaking when it's gone that far. Worth it?

It's hard enough for me to try and eat responsibly, not to mention it being a HUGE drag that makes me unhappy.

It's just like the anti-smoking thing except they're not risking anyone else's health. Leave 'em be if they're happy.

if the person doesn't mind being fat though, why should anyone else care? i moan about beeing too heavy and then go and eat an entire packet of maryland cookies, so i have noone to blame but myself! Im proud to say im the heaviest i've ever been!!

Nothing better than a pizza, chips, curry, beer or Italian. I have them all the time. I do however eat healthy other than that. Play football twice a week and run.

If I eat bad a lot I run more simple as that.

It makes me sick the amount of fat people around these days. It's not even like they hide the fact like a few years ago. Newcastle, Nottingham and York (places I go a lot) are full of fat 14-35 year olds with tight pants and skimpy tops ERRRRRRR!!!! Stop it stop it now!

but what does it matter if they are fat, surely its only a problem if they are the one whinging about it?? i agree though that people should choose clothes that suit them!

Ping..There might well have always been fat people, but not in the numbers that are present today. Plus you miss the point that they cost money due to their self imposed condition.

Someone getting injured whilst exercising for example are merely unfortunate. There is no comparison. The list of ailments that most certainly can arise due to obesity...and once again I stress that I do not refer to those simply carrying a few extra pounds around.

I must take issue with your point, if people are obese they should have had the will not to get that way in the first place.

The report mentioned on the Beeb website was not media driven at all. I understand your sympathy due to you knowing people whop fall in to the category that I take issue with, but there is a problem out there. believe me the authorities are starting to look long and hard at it here in Spain also.

it does seem that people seem to be proud of being "tubbers" lately?

wearing skimpy clothes and such

Mrs.Part timer......They might not whinge, but they look disgusting. So when they suffer from heart disease,back pains,joint aches,cholesterol problems etc etc they simply suffer in silence and don't go off draining the NHS system? Hmmm.

No one has to live the life of a monk in order to not be a fatso. Try like moderation? Far too much salad dodgeing going on these days...mark my words.
