Things have not changed much since the playground days have they. Back then I was taunted for being "fat" and it still goes on now but this time it's not just said in the playground by a thick kid, it is printed for the world to see in the press by so called intelligent reporters.
The latest bilge churned out by some overpaid prat is that if you are obese you need to earn more according to your waist measurement to make you attractive to women.
This is a bit of a wild statement. As an overweight person I would not want a woman that only wanted me fpor the size of my salary, and as a woman I would feel very insulted being told that I were as shallow as to only see £ signs when looking for a partner.
Of course I realise that being overweight is not good for you and can cost the NHS money. On the other hand you can bet that most hacks are drinkers and alcahol costs the NHS a bloody sight more than the obese do. Of course they (the hacks) are not going to write about themselves are they, not when they can divert attention away from their own problems.
Overeating is an addiction, one that is hard to break. Lets face it, if you give up smoking you can just not smoke, if you give up drinking, especially from a heavy addiction, you can never drink again. For the obese this is not so easy as we have to eat to live. Compared to losing weight giving up smoking, drinking and even drugs is a walk in the park.
So all I can say to the latest prat hack is look at yourself. Is your partner with you for your money because mine is'nt. Stop the bullying.
Dangle.
