The problem doesn't lie with the food it's the shitcunts that over indulge on it.
This is unfair to the non retards that enjoy it but dont pig out on it.

Also fuck taxes.

They should just make being fat illegal

Then it won't happen right
then you'll have fat people hiding in their houses and then seeing police raids on the dannish version of cops/swat, where they bust down doors to houses and you see the fat person getting beaten up by them and placed under arrest, also a rise in illiegal liposuction... etc wait what was my point?

yeah this is dumb i think because then people who are not fat get charged extra for the occasional bucket of hot chips

i think restrict the sale of high sugar content shit to fatties, like alcohol and cigs are restricted to 18+, restrict sale of high cal food to people with BMI < 25

After reading about the pokie regulation debate and while I was going for a run today, I had this awesome idea

What if they invented, like, a calorie pre-commitment cap for obese people? The premise of the pokies thing is you have to front up somewhere and say "I'm willing to put $2000 on my card", then when you're sitting at the pokies and it runs out you can't keep shovelling money in, you have to go back and say "put another $2000 on" and that makes you realize what you're doing.

So why don't they have all retailers make a database of how many calories are in each food item they sell, and then provide all obese people with a card that allows them to purchase a certain number of calories of food per week, let's say ~5000kJ/day or maybe 40,000/week, then after that they can't access any more food from any shop

of course you might say "couldn't they get their friends to buy food" but we could regulate that by teaching kids to dob in their parents to the relevant authority who could then haul them away for mandatory intense physical training and reconditioning

free school meals for all children and the outright banning of all home brought meals to school under punishment of caning
mandatory summer camps for children
more school time allocated to sports esp. for dumb kids also skill level tracking in school sports just like math so scrubs dont get washed by jocks

to all those atheists whinging about parents raising their children to be religious why if that isnt ok is it ok for parents to raise their kids to be fat cunts
