I’ve heard it all now! This morning I had just woken up and was listening to the BBC news on the radio when I heard a news piece saying that some ridiculous scientists from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine with not enough to do and desperate to justify their overpaid jobs, have declared that fat people are contributing to the problems of global warming and the world food shortage!

Yes I know, I know! Apparently overweight people consume a fifth more calories than thinner people and drive round in their cars more because they can’t be bothered to walk! Is this really what the scientific argument has come to? Fed up with giving us different do’s and dont’s that they reverse whenever the wind changes, they are now gunning for a section of society to blame for our ills. They must surely be the last to realise, despite all their scientific know how that attacking the fat/anorexic/drunk/drug addict is just the way to drive them further into their addiction? And to blame them for global warming and food shortage? It is completely laughable and is accompanied by a strong whiff off barrel bottom scrapings. If the government is so concerned about the amount of unhealthy food we are eating why don’t they close some of the factories down that produce completely nutritionally redundant foods? Why don’t they subsidise the cost of fruit and vegetables and other foods that are better for us?

Is this the way to go about things, to demonise and attack one section of society, who if we believe all we hear are increasing in number and in weight year on year? At the very least, I as one of them, (after I’ve walked the dog twice a day and been on my feet for most of it), might come round and sit on you, so be careful what you say!
