Btw all your favorites bar the Peanuts would be taxable given a Fat Food's Tax. say you add 10p to a packet of Cheese & Onion, would that make Obese people eat less of them? or just make them spend less on essencials like clothe's?

Happy to pay that extra fat food tax. I don't live on fat foods - I have them as occasional treat - unlike many others who wouldn't know a healthy diet if it smacked them on the face.

Make the fatty foods seem more like a luxury once-in-a-while treat while making the healthier foods more accessible.

LESS money for the government?? lol. that DOES make sense, but for some reason i doubt we'd see MP's voting for that! lol i wonder why???

Yeah I never said if it was a realistic option but if it was really about health issues you'd think they'd go the whole hog with it.

Yeah man, wikileaks is totally going to leak some wire on how the government of Denmark is in on some conspiracy to discourage people from eating junk food. 2k12 y2k UFO's 9/11 bigfoot I'M GOING INSANE MAN.

That doesn't even make sense. This is the very definition of a Nanny State. They are making personal decisions for people for them.

Everyone?

Uh, no.

Britain does have an obesity epidemic though. It's the fattest country in Europe.

Anorexia is a physiological disorder. It's not the same thing. They see themselves as fat. They're seeing themselves as something they're not. Fat people aren't eating because they think they're too skinny.
