Labels vs Lard
So the government has decided, in their infinite wisdom, that the way to tackle obesity is through proper labeling. Seriously, who voted for these morons? I sure as hell didn’t. No one is going to turn round and go “well blow me, eating 17 sticks of pure lard a day has so much fat in it. Thanks to this I will put it down and go eat some celery“.
The majority of obesity in this country stems from the same source as that in America: a constant diet of shite, supersized and washed down with a butt load of doing f*ck all.
Problem with your glands? Fine, go see a doctor, show me a note. I’m willing to bet its problems with pies.
And blokes (because let’s face it, no woman us ever going to be proud of being a lard arse), that beer belly you’ve got hanging over your belt is nothing to be proud off. If you look seriously pregnant then stop drinking 20 pints a night and perhaps do more exercise than walking to the toilet to pee, fart, belch loudly and proudly proclaim that it’s two kebabs for dinner.
So I’m being fatist, big deal. I’d rather be bigoted than eat my way to a heart attack at 35.
This post was stabbed out on the iPhone last night but not posted until today mainly to do with the vagaries of using Wordpress on an iPhone.
Hurrah, I’ve eaten myself past 40 and haven’t had a heart attack yet! Woohoo!
*creeps slowly from the room*
Goron, you’re over 40? Wow. How come I’ve not yet taking the piss about this fact?
Cat - you’re creeping again.
Ummm…
That’s a bit harsh. I mean I agree with your dislike of the government, but this is hardly the most stupid thing they’ve done this week. And what did the fat people do to upset you? The only thing keeping me off the kebabs is the lack of kebab shop in Stamford.
Des, I think you misunderstand. I’m not talking about ‘I could do with loosing the odd pound and eat less kebabs’ fat, I’m talking about the ‘clinically obese due to stuffing 20 big macs a day down my throat’ fat.
I myself go for the Billy Connolly school of health “eat less - move more”, which sadly is easier said that actually done.
