not an environmental tax, cant think how they affect the environment... but i do think there should be a fat tax. severely overweight people costs the nhs a damn good bit of money and most of they dont have the confidence or motivation to loose weight and keep it off. they pose significant health risks to themselves. i mean look at them kids in the newspaper a few weeks back...how on earth can a parent think its healthy to have you not yet teenage child at that size!!! its appaulling.
maybe wat should be done is tax the seriously overwright and use the money to feed the anorexics and others purposely starving themselves, that way you aim to slim down one and fatten the other. |

No because they obviously eat all their food. Its the skinny ones who throw away a fifth of their food uneaten into landfill sites that are causing a problem. it was in the news only a week or 2 ago |

Obese people already pay a bit more for clothing (check the price tags on a small then on a xxl, you'll see), and that makes sense at least because the clothing took more cloth to manufacture.
However, environmentally taxing obese people makes no sense. That'd be discrimination. Also, it would be stupid. Just a thought. |

I know the tax code is ginned up to encourage/discourage certain societal behaviors, but isn't this suggestion a bit much? How about taxing rail-thin models for encouraging dangerous anorexic behavior? Or taxing anything the Center for Science in the Public Interest deems to be dangerous to our gastronomic enjoyment? |

Obese people aren't harming the environment so no I don't think they should be sanctioned. You appear to be very anti-obese according to your questions. |

no, why should we tax people for being overweight. sometimes, it's hererditary. sometimes, it's because they've had an injury that prevents them from exercising. people should not be taxed for aspects of their appearance, they cannot change. |

A bit of an insensitive question, don't you think?
I don't think that it would be feasible because determining who is obese is subjective. |

i think MORBIDLY obese people should take responsibilty for their size and stop appearing on GMTV saying it's the councils fault for not helping...
but just being a size 14 can be classed as obese!! it's important to differenciate....size 14 is curvy...42 stone is embarrassing!! |
|

Gee
 |
it's people like you that give politicians justification on taxing us more and more what happens when the ugly think the good looking should be taxed, then the small/big male/female drinkers/nondrinkers left/right handed, people who breath heavier/runners/cyclist/swimmers all who want to maintain some level of fitness and surely people who wear glasses would also have to be taxed more too |
