There should be a measure of live and let live, I feel that the current government's attitude of "Let them eat cake" towards the poorer people who cannot afford decent (and rapidly getting more expensive every week) food - as demonstrated by the gluttonous excesses of the G8 conference in Japan where Gordo decided we should all "waste less food" - is a stunning example of how out of touch the government actually is.
However...
Food manufacturers are free to load more salt into one sandwich than you'd get in seven packets of crisps.
As for people being denied treatment on the NHS because of their lifestyle, let's not forget that a good many people have paid into the NHS all their working lives...
Having said that its bloody annoying to see folk who's main ambition is to clog up a hospital bed (more than one perhaps) one day having their arteries unclogged, which could otherwise be used by someone with a condition that hasn't been self inflicted.
