Maybe local councils could take over tending to the problems in their own areas. Soup kitchens could be set up, which would in turn entice overweight people to them with the offer of free food. They could then be shot on sight, which would make culling easy. Alternatively they could be clubbed to death, but a shot to the head would be more humane. They are after all a drain on resources. For example, their clothes have to be bigger than the average size person. Therefore more material is needed, and more time for them to be made, and therefore more labour. It's not fair on the rest of us.
Alternatively a fat tax could be set up, with varying charges, depending on what band you fall in (in relation to your size). It would encourage people to slim down so they would pay lower taxes the thinner they were.
Or maybe just put them all on an island together with no food readily available and let them eat each other.
There's loads of possibilities...The only trouble is it could push this problem underground with the use of toning body stockings and vacuum packs for these people to hide their true selves in public and con the authorities. Illegal fat clubs would emerge where these people could mix with like minded individuals and big money could be made on the black market. It's an ongoing problem, and a tough one to solve.
