NHS stress from Obese people

It is reported that patients visiting the NHS with obesity has gone up 60%.
This is not a surprising fact if anyone is old enough to remember the 50-70's.
In times of hardship and families have to be fed, parents turn to value food which ultimately means, fast food, cheaper foods that contain rubbish, Bread, Potatoes with starch.

So based on the fact that there is a high level of unemployement and salaries are being cut etc, this should have been expected by all.

So I guess the best thing the government is going to conjure up is a massive increase in tax on:
+Petrol
+cars
+Motor bikes
+local transport
+Cycles
+Skateboards
+Skates
+RollerBlades
(can't think of anything else but I am sure there is more)

This will mean people will have to walk and run or ride a bike (depending on road tax!!) and therefore, exercise- Daaarrrggggghhhhh!!!!
