Extra tax for large users.
Discussion
I came up with a new taxing idea at the weekend which I am going to write to the Government about.
Along the same line as cars which use more resources and pollute more, we should have a tax levied on uneconomical fat people who 'use' more food and air, and give off more pollutants. They also take up more room in towns and generally bully smaller models about!
What do other people think? What do you think Prescott would think? Just as sensible as taxing larger cars?

Probably less, as their emissions would be lower as they are breathing in pure oxygen and not the fifth the rest of us are breathing in! As with cars, it could be done on emissions or just size. I would probably be in the middle band as I weight 14.5 stone and I am slightly 'beer-guttish'!

Actually, you might be surprised to hear that fat people are more efficient biologically than slim people. Also, its been found that slim people can be equally unfit.
How about a 'fitness' tax??! Should sort the athletes from the couch potatoes... ;-)
