    They should ban and tax fatties.

    If they dont, its a discrimination against all other normal people who put their time,efforts and money to put themselves in better shape, only to see fatties taking more spaces in tubes,trains,busses,flights,footpaths,shopping centres (in short the whole world).

    World would be far less crowded if there wont be any fatty(i dont mean to kill them but just make them slimmer).

    Comic Relief and other charities should be working towards that, make fatties slimmer --> Save extra food they consume here ---->Give that food to people in Africa and poor places ---> Make poverty History
    Why not send fat people to Africa for the Africans to eat?

      Airlines should definitely tax fatties...I think the luggage weight allowance should be combined with your actual weight, so you are allowed a total weight allowance of say 100kgs per person. Then tax the excess.

      It would be funny seeing the fatties climbing on the scales at check in

        It's only a matter of time before you have to put your BMI on your tax return.

        But where I differ from Dr Walker is that I do not believe in taxing chocolate. First of all, the money thus raised will not get anywhere near to recouping the £4 billion a year we are owed by the gut-buckets; and second, it would constitute an infringement of the rights of normally sized people to eat chocolate.
