Enjoy it while you can. Before long it will be illegal to be anything other than a hemp-suited, roman-sandal-wearing, dreadlocked, tree-hugging, GM-free, organic vegan.

It's not like eating (relatively) healthy is all that expensive, even if you are a lazy fuck. And because I am a lazy fuck who can't ever be bothered to cook for just one person, I have two choices. Buy take-out, or buy ready meals.

In the local Coles supermarket there are single-serve frozen meals for about $4.50. 97% fat free, apparently, with the Aussie equivalent of the Heart Foundation tick. Takes 6 mins 30 seconds to prepare, and is a pretty decent meal, all things considered. There's some variety: chilli con carne, steak in pepper sauce with veges, garlic lemon prawns on rizone pasta, lamb goulash, various fish dishes and a couple of others with mushrooms, so I don't eat them.

Cheaper than a value meal at Maccas and a damn site tastier too.

The people that go down to KFC for their (and their family's) evening feed are simply stupid. It isn't just laziness or apathy or a lack of knowledge of how to feed their kids properly. It's stupidity. Sure, KFC might taste nice - I adore the stuff - but no-one with more than about three functioning neurons could possibly think that eating a bucket of it every night isn't going to make you put on weight.

Obesity is the single biggest cause of preventable death in the western world - not smoking. Oddly, smoking makes you less prone to be obese, as nicotine is a quite effective appetite suppressant. Obesity is a problem that particularly affects Islanders, due in part to their genetic make-up resulting from having spent a couple of thousand years getting used to eating fruit, veges and fresh fish. In Western Samoa, 75% of the population is classed as clinically obese. Other ethnic groups, who haven't got the caucasian tolerance to meat, are also disproportionately affected.

The answer is education. Possibly some government controls or subsidy on fresh foodmight work but simply not declaring unprepared food GST-free, similar to the UK rules, would be a start. Teach kids how to cook in school. A ban on advertising for fast food joints might also help. But the key is still education.

And because of that, NZ is fucked. This useless shower in the beehive don't believe in education (educated people, on average, don't vote Labour). They'd much rather introduce hurried and poorly-planned legislation and try to fix problems that way. And once again, they'll either fail or worse, make the situation worse.

Yea I'd ban Pineapple lumps. When I was a kid they were soft and chewy. Now they are hard and stale. I'd get rid of Minties too and save a bundle of denatal fees.
But woe to the fuckers that ban Irish Moss. I'd go to war for them I would.

Now im rather thin , would i get a card to say i can purchase the "forbidin donut"?

What if your unfit and eat crappy foods but remain thin? would you then be legally defined in the same class as the obese?

Would sugar be banned?

Would it be illegal to become fat.......even by choice?

Would making homemade un-uber-heathly foods and feeding it to yourself/kids be illegal?

F%ckers


Now how many packs of cigarettes were you after fatty?

[Patar]

Fucks sake.
If people can't moderate their own eating habits, quite frankly that's their own shitty problem.
People are being spoon fed (quite literally) and refuse to accept the consequences of their own actions, or inactions as the cases may be.
I am sick and tired of listening to people whine about problems that are caused by their own unwillingness to do something about it.

There are fucked up people in this world, there always has been and there always will be, it is NOT the responsibility of government or other authorities to tell them that they aren't living correctly, and it damn well is NOT the general, healthy publics responsibility to support these people.

tl;dr : if people make decisions to live unhealthily and then complain about being fat they can fuck off into a hole somewhere.

/rantover

ohright

[Dave Lobster]

How about if fast food joints (etc) were obliged to refuse to serve fat people, like bars are obliged to refuse to serve drunks?

I'm sorry sir, I think you've had enough....

Prefer my home made versions. They are people sized, cost half as much and actually taste good.
My complaint about "healthy choice" is the use of preservatives and the flat tasteless etc. Often I would rather eat the box.

[oldguy]

Party pills do no one no good anyway.

but I will sign a petition to save the pineapple lumps

[Gubb]

Could make a case for 'medicinal Pineapple Lumps'.
