We are not going to introduce a fat tax here. The farmers wonât tolerate it.
Denmark are removing the much heralded fat tax they introduced last year as it caused too much of a rise in the price of domestically produced goods.
Fuckers. Why cant they just fine the fuck out of the parents who let their kids get fucking fat? have the kids weighed in school and if they are considered fat send the fine to the parents, instead of the landing the rest of us with a tax.
That wouldnât be quite fair. For no particular reason other than to waste an afternoon, our teacher in 4th class weighed us all. One lad was far heavier than any of the rest of us. He later played professional football and now works as a coach in the US. Kids can get fat and skinny at different times. I was quite the tubby young lad aged around 12 before turning into a total thrawneen a couple of years later.
You donât have to be that fit to play professional football mate.
Professional football clubs even seek advice on fitness from substitute amateur agri-ball players

It might be unfair but it would make parents think twice about giving their little bundle of joy a fizzy drink just because they might throw a tantrum in the shop and it is easier to give them a can of coke to shut them up.
The way things are going that if you want to buy a fizzy drink in a shop it will be like buying a pack of cigerettes, the drink will be hidden from sight and you will have to be over 18 to buy one.
Education, education education. Them there teachers are on outrageous monies, let them earn it.
Aye, but some kids are just naturally fat from puppy fat. As I mentioned above, I got puppy fat and then lost it all. I donât think it would have been be too fair if my parents had of been fined. So thereâs simply no way to regulate that in the way you are suggesting.
I think education is all you can do at this stage, as CM suggests. The horse has bolted and weâre surrounded by shitty, cheap food everywhere so all you can do is educate people.
Education is all well and good for the kids in school who hopefully when they grow up they can eat healthy but the main problem is the kids parents, unless they are educated there is going to be no change and this also needs to be done in conjunction with making healthier food more affordable than the cheap shit on sale in the shops.
Correct- Itâs a vicious circle. Parents are going to have to have parenting classes if they wish to have kids- Other wise, we have just passed laws that will let the state take them away and put them in a loving vegan enviroment.
Sure the state knows best. I can just an army of Enda Kenny lookalikes in 15 years time. 
Prohibition will be next.
If fat fuckers canât step away from the table, who gives a fuck?
Did ye hear the clowns on John Murray this morning with their i need to lose weight to fit into a bridesmaids dress :rolleyes:
The excuses of i work on night shifts and i was always big are laughable, yet the need the RTE camera crews motivation to lose weight.
They need to stop munching like cattle on silage in a shed over winter is all. :rolleyes:
Our tax dollars pay for their medical treatment when they get older and develop health problems though, right?
Us cause they end up costing the country millions in health care costs in the long run.
Correct.
But, why should foods be taxed for all of us when they will continue stuffing barrel loads of it down their throats regardless?
Being a fat fucker shouldnât be a disability⌠ah poor you, you canât stop eating.
No. Being disabled is being in a wheelchair. Those folks donât have a choice. You do. Stop being a greedy lazy cunt.
Anyone who is overweight and makes no attempt to lose it to improve their health should imo have medical benefits cut.
What if itâs a fat fucker in a wheelchair?
