As long as I dont have to pay for your consequences, thats fine with me....... But I do.
Didnt read the article, but if its about making fast food more expensive, Im all for it. And BB, the comment about "fat people are fat becuase of the volume they eat, not the food" is correct but stupid.
I have NEVER seen a fat person sit down to eat a 2kg pumpkin and cuscus salad, with 2L of water.
I have and do see many, many fat people chugging down maccas and dominos like its going out of fashion.
Less goverment intervention. More personal responsibility.
dont make shit cheap food more expensive. Make expensive good food cheaper.
It's an article about taxing fast food chains Sticky.
And I appreciate what you're saying, but my comment was not stupid. I have lost 82kg and have not once had couscous and pumpkin with water - I would have necked myself at some point!
My point was volume, portion...the food itself is irrelevent!
too much of anything is not going to serve your body well. Couscous, potatos, meat, chicken, fish, dairy, ice cream, pizza, burgers, chocolate, banana's....it doesn't matter. You can't eat and drink a ridiculous quantity of food and expect it's healthy for you, irregardless of what it is.
I don't know anyone of my gym friends, who eat healthy, all of the time.
For health ; balance and moderation is key.
Losing fat is not about and should not be about deprivation.
Fat does not immediately = unhealthy. Sure, it may not look good. But I know plenty of skinny people who are SO incredibly unhealthy, my beautiful mother was one of them!
Think broadly, people are responsible for themselves. It's not McDonalds or KFC's fault people are fat.
Simple as that.
Im all for making fast food harder to access and less likely to be the 'quick i have no time better eat maccas' but not at the cost of freedom.
If this goes ahead whats the stop GovCo from upping land taxes on anything else they dont like? Pubs? Supre? Motorsport complexes? Where do you draw the line?
I eat maccas, kfc, oporto, subway etc. I know Im fat(ter) because of my food choices and dont look as good as I could. Im OK with that. Everything in moderation. 6 dinners of chicken/steak/roo + veges and 1 night of maccas, Its not ONLY the maccas making me fat.
Its stupid and simplistic to think that making fast food more expensive will overnight end peoples desire to eat shit food. Cigarettes are more expensive every year, people still smoke, booze goes up every year, people still drink.
So one loaf of bread for breakfast, 10 eggs, 3 packets of bacon and 4 cans of baked beans, all washed down with 4 litres of chocolate milk - every morning, for breakfast, is going to make ANYONE fat, followed by their lunch, fruit in between and their dinner. It's the amount of food overall that is the problem. Are we going to tax a bacon and egg breakfast more heavily, because it's less healthy than an apple?
