I had a rip fit today. I think it was from the grapefruit. I swear it sounded like a Pamplemoose in rut. Good and healthy.

When my ex asked me if I thought she was fat, I said, "Mmmm. Hunky, chunky, meaty, beefy, chewy!"

I thought a dumb question deserved a dumb answer.

The fact of the matter is that obesity is a major issue in society no matter how much more politically correct we need to be about it. We now have a situation ever where the younger generation has a shorter life expectancy than the previous simply because of the health issues related to obesity.

It is causing major issues on the health services and well as many other issues within society.

I believe that the only way to handle this is a direct assault on the issue to force a change in personal life style choices.

A fat tax.

Once per year everyone get a mandatory health exam, then using the height weight ratio index you then allow for 10 extra lbs to allow for body shape. Then you charged $5.00 tax for every pound you are overweight after that. This tax goes directly to the health services as well as subsidizing health club memberships.

Lose weight, reduce you tax liability.

Put the responsibility back where it belongs.
