Question: Given the burden that the obese place on health services, should obesity be taxed!?
It would be relatively simple to administer; you weigh in once a month and pay say

Oh, here we go!. I assume you are meaning a tax over and above the huge taxes that we already pay in Britain!. Who will be paying the biggest premium!?!? Smokers, drug addicts, alchoholics,fat folk, poor unfortunates who have ended up with cancer!?!? That's just a small selection of those who you could single out!. I'm a smoker and have not visited my GP for over twenty years, do I get a rebate for that!?!?!? I also drink alchohol quite regularly and am fairly overweight!. Jings, I'm up for giving my whole wage in taxes!!!! You could never sort out a system that would be fair to everyone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Surely that then would end up taxing perfectly (or exceptionally in some cases) healthy athletes, most of whom are technically overweight because of the amount of muscle they have (muscle weighing more than fat)!. Your idea is critically flawed!.
I myself am overweight (not massively but a little bit) and I am perfectly healthy!. Maybe they should start introducing tax for people who don't reach a certain IQ because they aren't contributing as much to the country as the cleverer people in society!? Or maybe all the people with mental health problems as they use up a lot of resources, or people who have cancer or smoke a lot or drink!? Where would it end!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Let's just put them in jail!. Not wait, let's just kill them!.
What a fukking c*unt
Probably some fata*ss b*tch typing this to give off the impression that she's thin!.
We're not buying it!.
Just go eat another cheeseburger and stop wasting everyone's time trying to trick them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I must disagree, what about the people who are obese and put on weight from the medication they are on (that they need!) how can it be fair to tax them!?

How about a bad genes tax for the people with inherited predispositions!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

So what about:-

Smokers
Drinkers
Drug Abusers

OK, then we will tax the stupid and insensitive!. Do you really think that overweight people are that way because they enjoy it!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
