# people are too fat
america now consumes upto 13% more food then a decade or 2 ago because they're all fatty lard-arses!

i say, if you weigh over 20 stone, you should be fined, taxed and tazer'd till you loose some weight

# I do not understand wy one would tax fat people more?
They spend more and are good for the economy and, just like everyone else, around 85% of their NHS costs happen in the last 8 days of their lives.

Everyone becomes terminal - as long as they get to retirement age first then what's the problem?

Indeed, it is healthy people who live beyond retirement who constitute the greatest drain on the economy.

# because
there's a lot of buzz around them currently so it's deemed a sensibkle way for the government to seem to be doing good *healthier peoples* while making money.

it's like boris banning drinkingon public transport... binge drinking is a big thing so i's seen to be tackling the £drinking culture" but he isn't he's just prohibiting it and prohibition generally breeds contempt. and this goes to enforce the culture rather than stem it. *in my opinion.. but my opinion is generally hellishly liberal*

# With the drinking thing,
The loud shouty pissed wanker was not stopped before and will not be now. All that the bill will do is let the police arrest teenagers.

They have banned drinking on the grass outside my workplace and the filth have taken bottles of cider from tramps and poured it out - but there was a champagne lunch their on Friday for one of the local legal partnerships.

hmm!

good old fashioned irony.

proibition doesn't work, has never worked, will never work.

the banning of alcohol in america.. all that produced was Al Capone. although i'd giggle if some how 1920's gangsters helps smuggle alcohol for a fee on to a train.

Throwing away the bad plants etc.

Tomatoes didn't just appear as they are, gardeners deliberately cross-pollinated them.

See also livestock.

If GM is done wisely, it could be controlled. Although with any luck we can get around ever needing it.

# it's generally down
to media induced hysteria. distortion and such.

a recent study into video violence showed that there is no causal link that watch violence makes you wanna commit violence but it's just violent people have more of an affinity to watch violent things. no real news coverage coz it goes against the national hegemony. damn you hegemony!!
