Re: Obese people and smokers to be refused surgery (now in review)

How about someone who goes out and drinks ten pints and gets drunk and falls down a set of stairs breaking their leg?

How about someone who goes skiing, comes a cropper and shatters their pelvis?

How about a cyclist who goes out and is injured in a crash with a car/bus/truck

How about a motorbiker who goes out and is injured as above?

Do any of the above make less sense that someone smoking? or stuffing their face with junk food ?


I know an obese person who claims he cannot not afford to eat healthy or join a gym, I pointed out a iceberg lettuce is 34p, 12 tomatoes 90p, a hand of bananas £1, 1kilo of fresh carrots 50p, 8 apples £1, a turkey leg £2.50, a whole chicken £4, a water melon £2 a big bag of rolled oats 70p etc etc.

He had no answer lol. For the price of a junk food meal of around £5 you get a lot of fresh fruit. An a weeks worth of "smokes" buys some nice healthy food. Walking 2 miles a day is free.

What about the people who are working all the hours god sends to look after their familys ? where do they find the time to walk 2 miles a day?
