Fat lot of good

by MarkJT @ 25 Jan. 2008 - 21:03:44

I don’t know what is good for us anymore. Not that long ago, we were being told about the dangers of being too skinny – being size zero was dangerous and sets a bad example.

But now so is being too fat. Eat more, eat less. No wonder everyone is confused.

Once again, the government comes up with another crazy idea. ‘Lose weight and we’ll pay you!’

So what about the skinny ones? Don’t forget, they’re unhealthy too. Pay them to gain weight?

It’s like those adverts we saw at Christmas telling us to cook out turkeys properly. And those adverts telling us to look out for cars when we cross the road.

What happened to individual responsibility? If it’s not careful, this government is going to be in charge of a nation of people who can’t look after themselves and expect things to be done for them.

Who’s going to be Chief Arse Wiper?

I think people are responsible for themselves. They don't need the government to tell them what to do.
