I would be happier if the money went to treating people who have conditions they have not directly contributed to and are not responsible for. | |

To me, it's kind of like drug abusers and alcoholics. Too much of anything is unhealthy. I put heroin addict in the same category health wise (to a certain extent) as someone who gorges on sugary food and is extremly overweight. I don't know what to make of this sugar tax though, because why should some people be punished because others eat like pigs. | | | |

You only need to go in to McDonald's and see the mothers give the kids the £5 happy meals,if money was a concern they would be feeding the kids fruit and other healthy food for a third of the price. | |

overweight haters ltd. on 12:45 - Dec 1 with 1119 views | jack247 | Absolutely the wrong way to go about it. It's not the place of vigilante style groups to tell people they are too fat or not. If people don't respect their own bodies, they aren't going to care what other people think or how they impact the NHS. I'd imagine most of the target market wouldn't have been on the tube anyway, unless they are just picking on anyone who looks a bit tubby. Hypertaxing KFC and chocolate bars, then spending the revenue on free gym membership, dietitians, trainers etc plus subsidising healthy food seems too simple to be true. Also cut benefits for people who are simply too big and have nothing else wrong with them. | | | |

Comparing sugar addiction to heroin is ridiculous though, unless there's a hidden cluster of bakery burglaries we're not being told about. Advertising is definitely a major issue, targeting kids. They could also change labelling so low calorie Coke (diet) would simply be called Coke and the sugar laden one to be called Fat Coke or something of that ilk. | |

Does this mean that random people can be mean to anyone they like? No. Give me one of those cards and find yourself with an overweight lip. None of your business what I eat and drink, move along, worry about yourself. Have you not got anything more important in your life than going out of your way to make people feel bad? Sad. | |

Not hand her a card on the tube calling her an obese and ugly munter. I bet these brave souls wouldn't do it to a 19 stone hod-carrier eating a bacon sarnie because they know they'd be knocked out cold. Cowards. | | | |
