"Oversize clothes should have obesity helpline numbers sewn on them to try and reduce Britain's fat crisis, a leading professor said today.
And new urban roads should only be built if they have cycle lanes, according to Naveed Sattar, Professor of Metabolic Medicine at the University of Glasgow
He is calling for more government intervention with a central agency set up to deal with the problems of obesity.
Britain's fat problem is so acute that it could even bankrupt the health system if nothing is done. "

I think that tax breaks won't inspire fat people to loose weight. Mockery does.
So should liberals.
LIBERALISM is bad for your health too!
Oh PUH LEESE.
This is ridiculous. If the US does this it would be the equivalent of all the ridiculous space-wasting data/info on food and drug labels.
Plus, I'm already aggravated by current clothes:
-placing the instruction tag on the left WAISTline which is difficult to find compared to the collar
-putting at least a duplicate of the instructions in Spanish if not several other languages, making it MORE frustrating trying to find "my" instructions
Great, what we need is more tag length/width/quantity.
And would anyone object to the US government giving tax breaks to businesses that adopt comprehansive wellness programs in their jobsites?
Ever been to Russia? There the women are fit -- here they look like what the Russians used to harpone.

Wolves! They will chase and catch the slow, fat people giving much needed exercise to the not quite so slow and fat. Unfortunately PETA will probably complain about the high cholesterol diet the poor little wolves will be eating.
Mockery doesn't work either.
I simply tell people that "Every time you lose a pound, God kills a Liberal", it helped to get me thinner.
I guess that would make Ann Coulter is a mass murderer.
...and SOCIALISM is deadly!
I think this whole notion is idiotic, and as for that, ignorance is doing more damage than obesity ever could. Can we start discriminating against the stupid?
Can I start with the idiot that came up with this suggestion?
Can we just kill him and his offspring and move on with the knowledge that the gene pool got a little cleaner?
I think we've explored the logic of all these sorts of efforts enough for one day.
When I lived on SlimFast to get to 105, my hair fell out, my electrolytes screwed up and I was fainting on the job.
By your standards, I was healthy. My body fat percentage was within healthy limits. Hmmmmmmm.
Might be partly because there isn't much food in Russia in the first place.
Yup - another tag to wear!
America is a pretty amazing place. Things are so good here that we have fat poor people!
What a country!

and homosexuals should have a tattoo on their bums warning of the dangers of their lifestyle.
Fat people shouldn't breed. I don't understand how they some do it?
Been to Russia five times -- they have plenty of food. They don't, however, have lots of cheap junk food.
Japan has less obesity than any industrialized nation -- and they have plenty of money. They just don't sit in front of the TV shoving junk down their esophogas.
You know remember the last time, of course, when there was some sort of state-sponsored mandatory tattooing of a group of people.
they some do it? = they do it
