Nah they are just going invent a new rate of VAT to put on crisps, chocolate, cakes, pepperami, ready meals etc. They already do that in some countries on food items that are not "essential".Originally posted by TazMaN View PostHere comes the Fat Tax ! I wonder how they'll do it... hmmm I think a monthly weigh-in along with analysis of the taxpayer's poo poo. Brown should be good for that job.
It's not fair. I keep my weight under control and now I have to pay more tax on chocolate
I guess I'm just going to have to drink more.

There's a guy who works here that has to be 30+ stone, he's entitled to a disability badge enabling him to park right outside the office, surely it would be in his best interest to make him park at the back of the car park as far away as possible.
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

We've just been discussing this story while putting 1500 sheets of paper in numerical order by hand (yes, life really is that on the edge). Woman opposite me is roughly size 22-24, guesstimating 16-17 stone.
'I don't think that's really fair to discriminate against larger people, it's not my fault, I have a medical problem'
Only problem she has is a total lack of self control when it comes to the 'shoving cakes into gob' department.

Many years ago i was temping in a city center office which was on the 4th floor. One week the lift broke, after 2 days a couple of the larger ladies phoned in sick and said they couldn't come back into work untill the lift was fixed as there were too many stairs for them to walk up.Coffee's for closersComment

A fat tax based on those donut eating lardies with BMI over 30, that seems reasonableThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment
