Should the NHS pay for the consequences of you eating pie?

[HairyArsedBloke]

Food is going up in price so fast that there will be far fewer fatties around in the future. However, the skinny ones amongst us would have died of starvation and hypothermia first though. So it is best to be a porker now in the hope you will survive in the dark times to come.

Or perhaps they're just plain greedy and slovenly.

I think the problem is that it's not just one thing. For me it was just sitting about in front of PCs all day not eating the right thing, take this example:

If you eat 100kcal a day more than you burn (i.e. a bag of Quavers)

- that's 700kcals a week
- that's 3500kcals a month, which equals 1lb of fat
- that's 12 lbs weight gain a year
- over 10 years that's 8.5 stone

So you don't have to 'overeat' to get fat, you just have to do it a little bit over a long time. So watch out all you 20-something desk jockeys.... When i was 18 years old I was 12.5 stone. By the time I was 35 I was 21.5 stone.

Luckily I put in the work, and I'm back down in the teens again.

If the NHS pays for the pie I'll face the consequences.

Nope, the skinny ones can just steal food off the fat ones.

The thing is cheap food is full of fat. The price of food will make more people fat. As someone who is fairly lazy and likes Fish n Chips, indian takeaway, chinese and cakes (not all at once), I can't understand how people get really fat. If you put on a stone then cut down. The proper fatties without medical conditions are just eating out of control while sitting around doing nothing, if they want an early grave then fine but it's in their hands or mouths at it were.

The problem is that it's cheaper to pay for medicines to help them diet than it is to treat the diabetes/cardiac arrests/colon cancers etc that come later. So while it may appear unfair, it works out cheaper for everyone.

Or maybe if the doctors advised them not to eat takeaways and red meat for a few months.

When I was fat, my quack advised me not to have milk in my tea. Thanks doc.
