As far as I'm concerned
You are all still missing the point. What right do you have to tell someone how to live their lives? The amount of people who actually eat themselves to a point that they need to be cared for is minute, so that's a pretty poor point.

In the same way that I hate that bloody sinner winner guy for telling me that the way that I live my life is "wrong" compared to his own beliefs, I don't think anyone has the right to assume that just because someone is fat that they are unhappy and need help. Vipros- I'm sorry you had a bad time of being overweight, but surely part of that was feeling that you just didn't fit in.

TWW- I think taxing junk food is a great idea. If I have to pay for my inevitable lung cancer, then that seems fair enough. And I sympathise with your daughter- one of my friends at school was 6 foot tall and had a 23 inch waist, despite eating a tub of ice cream a day to try and put some meat on her.

And on another point, I'm very good with the fags. I never smoke around non smokers who don't want me to, and I am discrete when I have one. It's also a vice that has replaced something that was much more harmful to me in the long run, and I will give up when I feel that I am ready for it.
