Are We Hungary Yet?

The Nanny State - one regulation away from total bliss

“ DOCTORS TOLD TO REPORT PEOPLE WHO GAIN WEIGHT GPs will be asked to identify patients who are putting on weight under a new national programme to help fight obesity. Mr Stevens said targeted schemes to prevent obesity, by losing weight, had been proven to work, and now needed to be introduced nationally. "Since certain fat mother-fuckers are unable to take care of themselves, it's up to we, the enlightened few, to make them," Mr Stevens left unsaid. Simon Stevens, the head of the NHS, said it was time for Britain to "get back in shape" in order to protect millions of people from a host of obesity-related diseases. Under the scheme, family doctors will be asked to identify anyone who has gained weight and is at risk of diabetes – particularly those aged below 40. They will then be offered tests for pre-diabetes, followed by healthy lifestyle advice and close monitoring to ensure they are eating better and exercising more. It comes as new figures show Britain is now the second fattest nation in Europe, with almost 25 per cent of Britons classified as obese - compared with a European average of 16.7 per cent. Yes, this is Britain, but could one of our own onion-eyed Progressive minded dewberries saddle us the same way?  Yes, with just a stroke of the pen. Say Baaaaaa. ”
