Fat tax???

[Stefan-A]

To some extent, it has gone beyond food and is now bordering on entertainment.


When has a new law ever been better than the one it has replaced?

Just seen this on the news. They are concidering putting tax on fatty and salty foods to stop obesity :S

How can they possibly justify it? Why dont they try something a bit more possitive like offering fitness training on NHS.

They really do think we are stupid. Tax isn't a punishment, it is meant to be a necasary part of british civilisation. its turning into a bit of a joke now. if the government said "we havnt got enough money, we need more tax" then fair enough. but raising taxes, or adding taxes, when the money isn't needed is rediculous.

sorry. i needed to let that out.

It would be funny to see the outrage and protests if they started that here in the US.

Ah... there are four liters in an imperial gallon. (There are four quarts in an American gallon, which is somewhat smaller than an imperial gallon)
