Why won't the government save us from ourselves

"...Fight the Obesity Epidemic spokeswoman Dr Robyn Toomath said the Government had barely acknowledged obesity as an issue. It had increased funding for Kiwisport in schools, but there was no evidence that participation in sport affected obesity levels.

Widespread discrimination against obese people meant there was no public outcry that nothing was being done. "It must be a prejudicial view that you have brought it on yourself, and that's a nonsense," she said..."

I'm calling 'bullshit' on this one.

NOBODY forced you to eat. When your fat arse got too wide for your clothes- THEN was when you got the warning sign to change your ways.

Never mind you THOUGHT you were eating right. You were wrong.

Research- learn a bit about diet and nutrition and amend your ways.

or chose not to- it's YOUR choice.

And YOUR consequences to live with.

God almighty, how do people get so old an stay so fuckin clueless? Next it will be Toyota's fault that car accidents happen, not that of the drivers who neglect to press the brake pedal.
