Well, before I get started with the main course (if you are obese and reading this, I am sure you will be salivating in expecation at the prospect of food...sorry to disappoint ), I don't have a real problem with people who are slightly overweight, people are born of different sizes and shapes and I can accept that. In fact, I don't even have a problem with chuffers, oh sorry, I mean the clinically obese, who are concious of their issues and happy to work on it.
The problem for me starts with the obese who refuse to accept they have a problem and continue in their devilish ways. You know the type, the ones who swan about supermarkets on their mobility scooters, stuffing their basket with cream cakes and doughnuts with money they receive from their disability benefits. In fact, I was on an Easyjet flight recently and one heroically obese woman managed to get into the "Disabliity" queue and get the pick of the seats.(No coincidence she chose a seat near the front with primary access to the buffet cart.)There is something so arrogant about them, not a care in the world for how their actions (and appearance) effects others and my bank balance, having to fork out my hard earned money on taxes to staple their stomachs (should in fact be their mouths) and mend their creaking bodies.
So.........what do I think we can do about it? Well, the clinically obese should be put on an exercise and diet routine and given certain period of time to sort themselves out. If they dont? Well then they should be taxed further on their wages in order to compensate. Every percentage increase in body fat percentage, tax them more. If this doesn't work and they persist in their arrogant and destructive ways, force them into a military style training camp. If this doesnt work and they return to normal life and offend again, well, that's easy..........operate on them, remove the blubber and turn it into soap and other such products.
That's totally unfair I hear you cry....."What about alcoholics....druggies and people who do other destructive things?"....Fine, do the same to them. But for me, there is nothing more openly greedy, slovely and damn right rude than to be an obese weeble, claiming false disability benefits and not having a consideration for anyone else apart from Ronald McDonald and Mr Kipling.
