Tax on Fat people

There should be a tax (in every country) for being fat, or if your BMI is above normal.
What does pol think?

Military aged citizens should be expected to meet a minimum physical fitness standard or face a year "unfit for service" tax. People with physical conditions that disqualify them from joining the military could be exempt.

This is an American website. Get out of my country.

Sounds like a pretty fat infringement m8

Fuck yes.
I don't know how people get the money to be so god damn fat.

I couldn't agree more.

Unless you have a PROVABLE, exotic pituitary condition, you shouldn't me allowed to be on public assistance whatsoever.

If you are overweight, you should have to purchase 2 seats on any flight you take, or the airline should scale the cost for your weight.

If you are fat, you should have to pay way more for health insurance, and if you're on a socialist health program you should have extra withdrawals from your paycheck.

There should be no law protecting "people of size" from employment discrimination.

If you are a man over 30 BMI, you should be forbidden from using public beaches, public baths/saunas, or swimming pools,

Why would you have a fat tax when the dominant mode of pedagogy is "Shitty Public Schools giving children 13 years of shitty food so they can pay shitty attention at shitty classes"?

We need a rehaul of public education, not a tax on people who only know the shittiness of mainstream diets.

As I like to say, it's IMPOSSIBLE to get fat on (100%) on meat, milk, and butter. Your body gets satisfied far quicker than carb binges.

BMI is bullshit
Use bodyfat percentage instead

>MPOSSIBLE to get fat on (100%) on meat, milk, and butter. Your body gets satisfied far quicker than carb binges.

Literally old school bodybuilder steve reeves diet, eggs and steak cooked in butter mostly and salad, only carbs a person should eat are from fruit, grain and bread were only a staple for the poor because fresh produce wasnt available and it eventually got memed into the american diet

Hmm

100% agree. They should be stripped of all benefits. I duno about elsewhere, but over here and in Ireland. They will get their house/flat paid for, get roughly 180 a week, get a free car and some go as far to get high capacity DLA, which can be over 250 a week. Its a fucking joke and the state is just enabling these fat cunts.
>Inb4 muh genetics

Its a simple equation. Energy input versus energy output.

Too bad, America does as it pleases.

There is so much shit in this country that caters to fat people. The variety of medical procedures you can get that allows you to keep your fat lifestyle going is nuts. If you get skinny and healthy all that surgery money goes away. Fat people hijacked the body acceptance movement from amputees and burn victims so they can play the victim. Our serving sizes are huge compared to yours.

I work at a diner, people half-ass healthy eating habits all the time. Coating a salad with ranch, deep fried bacon with honey, a "side" of chicken fried steak, that kind of shit. Diet soda is cancer.

TL; DR: half-ass health activisim and a medical industry that knows it's more profitable to treat symtoms than solve health issues.

It should be a tax if your stupid Swedish country has refugee no go zones and refugee immigrant crime rate that's through the roof.

I agree with all of these.

Also hospitals should be completely liability free when dealing with severely obese patients. A doctor should be allowed to refuse a patient treatment until he or she loses weight. Also ER workers should be protected from being sued if the obese person is accidentally injured during emergency transport. And said obese person should be liable should an ER worker face injury.

Obesity should be treated as a personal choice and absolutely no accommodations should be made for this drain on our society.

Wtf Sweden! You still want more taxes?

>bmi above normal
You literally have to be a manlet skelly with no muscle mass to fall within the normal range.

Agreed, the % tax paid should be correlated to the amount of kilos over 'normal weight'

>This is an American website

thats stupid.

you should just exclude fat people from certain health insurance claims.

smoker gets lung cancer? tough luck
alci needs himself a new liver? boohoo
fatty has dee to the iabeetis ? cry me a river

you treated your body like shit. WARRANTY VOID

Not according to American standards.

There is no point in something like this if you don't socialize the healthcare. If everyone pays for themselves the fatasses get their bill. With a true free market you could offer insurance that didn't cover most typical fatass diseases/things caused by being a fatass. Even insurance for "thin" people only.
That would be cheaper then. Probably also would be some kind of natural selection in this modern age. Less unhealthy fat people in the long run.

i agree with forcing people to take on some personal responsibility for themselves, but i have doubts that insurance companies would lower their rates even if this was implemented.

"public vs private healthcare" and "self-inflicted illnesses being covered by healthcare" are two separate issues.
dont conflate them

>Probably also would be some kind of natural selection in this modern age. Less unhealthy fat people in the long run.
funny. youre forgetting that the reason for the obesity epidemic is fast-food / junk-food being pushed on children.
most of the food in the supermarket is literal shit.

and this is PRECISELY because of capitalism going unchecked. we need to regulate "food" companies, at least make it illegal to sell that garbage to children

>There is no point in something like this if you don't socialize the healthcare
It weakens national security if everyone is obese and can't fight.
This is increasingly becoming an issue.

Normal weight = 16-19bmi
165cm / 44kg

I agree with you, im disgusted by the fat fucks my country is infested with. I think if you are diagnosed with being obese you should lose all welfare benefits. If you're on the taxpayers dime you can damn well find the time to exercise.

as a dude who has been weightlifting for 5 years with a bmi of 27 with bodyfat % of 12-15 id have to disagree.

>inb4 manlet
6'1
around 205 lbs

are you the fit nord bro who posts exercise advice in some threads?

I agree with this guy

the education people are ruining the country

>People with physical conditions that disqualify them from joining the military could be exempt.
>Get fat as shit
>Get diabetes
>Avoid Tax

>TFW BMI is 29

At least I can OHP 100k

Fat people should be exterminated

>Burgers has no say in this thread for obvious reasons.

one post by this ID. read that in a british accent, pls.

wahn post boi this oi dee.

yeah.

You're absolutely right. All our fatties are spics and niggers, and I think you should be excluded from government aid and housing if you are fat. In addition to being tested monthly for drugs since someone on government aid shouldn't be allowed to be an addict.

Fat guy here. Yes there should be.

that girl is about 12

This chick is a bitch but if she offered to suck my dick I wouldn't say no

>government enacts fat tax
>government is now incentivized to make everyone fat
Ya blew it you fucking moron

Fuck yes, I just had to fatass spics walk past me and one was breathing like a fucking jet turbine.

it's ok if it's good food.

Burger here. Withhold medical care unless it's paid in full up front, euthanize the ones who can't pay.

If your country has a single payer healthcare system, sure. That would be a fair way to cover costs.

How many people in this thread are fat? Be honest. And do you have plans to change your lifestyle?

How about a tax on cucks. The money goes to noncucked countries.

For example, Swedes would have to pay Danes a lot of money.

It would help and incentive the cucked countries into uncucking themselves. The money that noncucked countries recieve would serve as a pleasant thank you and an apology for having acted in such a cucked way.

No the government should fuck off and you should stop licking those boots so much, Sven. The same people you want regulating your body weight are the same people importing niggers into your country to rape your women. If anything I'd think you would be against anymore government bullshit. Guess you just dont learn.

ITT: Delusional socialists with MIC hardons who don't understand how economics work.

fatty detected

Post a pic of your fat little hand so we can get a laugh

Or just use BMI and have exceptions for those with very small body fat percentages.

this.

too much body fat % or not enough muscle mass % pretty much covers fat asses and skeletons.

we would let fat asses kill themselves but they're starting to unite and try and force us to pay for their healthcare which is why bernie got so much support.

its either that option or we force them to lose weight.

the second option is a million times better.

Why are you so keen on stealing money from people?

The Jews made me fat.

What if instead of a tax, we forced everyone over 500 lbs into a forced fat camp for 2 years or until they lose the weight.

We can lower it to less weight + body fat % and other variables if it ends up working.

Muscle mass puts a similar burden on your heart as fat, all that blood still has to be pumped.

>Muscle mass puts a similar burden on your heart as fat,
t. skeleton.

Why do you get so emotional about it?

Anyone above
22.9 bmi to the gas chambers
problem solved

probably because you're a retard skeleton that thinks muscle = bad.

being /fit/ is a million times better for a billion different reasons.

the immune system benefits alone make it worth it.

>If you are a man over 30 BMI, you should be forbidden from using public beaches, public baths/saunas, or swimming pools,

no, swimming and saunas are a way to lose weight.

You seem upset like a child. Where did you come to the conclusion that carrying any extra weight is good for your heart?

skinny fucks that live to 90 cost society more money than a fat bastard that dies of heart failure at 50.

BMI doesn't mean that much. i'm 5'11 and 183lbs. I also have abs and a V line. BMI is mostly used by auschuits vegan fags to make themselves sound healthy when they are 5'8 and under 130lbs. i do not agree with the fat tax. i think anything that is overly fattening should be taxed. make them pay the tax before they are fat as well as when they are fat. deter people from getting fat before it becomes a problem. taxing the fat will just be seen as discrimination. we can't tax smokers, so we tax cigarettes.

>Where did you come to the conclusion that carrying any extra weight is good for your heart?
skeleton exposes himself as usual.

enjoy dying to the smallest of breezes and common cold virus.

Is that a real quote? Jesus fucking christ.

I support camps for fat (or at least obese) people. Not punitive or anything but pleasant cottages out in the countryside, but surrounded by razor wire.

All food is supplied and they must attend mandatory physical activities and education (health, cooking etc.).

Once they have returned to a healthy weight and demonstrated that they are capable of maintaining it, then they are released.

If they then relapse it's time for the gas.

sounds complicated what if they decided to change the BMI ?

maybe for people who are morbidly obese at least.

Also why not just introduce a Fat Tax?

>A fat tax aims to decrease the consumption of foods that are linked to obesity. A related idea is to tax foods that are linked to increased risk of coronary heart disease. Numerous studies suggest that as the price of a food decreases, individuals get fatter.[2][3][4] In fact, eating behavior may be more responsive to price increases than to nutritional education.[5] Estimates suggest that a 1 cent per ounce tax on sugar-sweetened beverages may reduce the consumption of those beverages by 25%.[6] However, there is also evidence that obese individuals are less responsive to changes in the price of food than normal-weight individuals.[7]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_tax

It would probably be better applied to processed foods as a whole, to discourage their consumption, rather than foods containing a certain percentage of sugar or whatever. People not knowing how to cook because they rely on pre-processed food is probably a bigger contributor to obestiy.

while a lot of fat people are unhealthy because they are fat, there are people like me who have BMIs above normal but are healthier than most normal people. Why should I be taxed when my immune system is stronger than that of all my normal-sized friends?

>People not knowing how to cook

Just look up some youtube videos.

I'm pretty sure the us changed the "overweight" line on the bmi chart in the 80s or something. And suddenly you had an fat people epidemic over night. Can't remember where I read this, but it was one of the reasons fat people suddenly spiked in the 80s.

It's literally the easiest thing in the world to do, and it's fun and tasty and interesting. I have no time at all for people who refuse to learn how to cook which is why I have no problems taxing the crap they eat.

sounds interesting.

Based on BMI.
No.

Based on Body Fat %.
Sure.

State sponsored anorexia FTW.
All those bulimic welfare recipients.
More fit girls.

The fat people trend value was going up anyway. But it got this huge spike in the early 80s because they changed the definition. You're still fat though.

My BMI is above average but I do body building. Besides that I agree that genuine fat people who use up more resources should pay up more.

Not a tax, just no medical benefits

Sitting is not an exercise just because it is hot

>there should be tax

Any law aimed at punishing fatties would allow for an exemption with a body fat percentage below a certain limit. BMI is just the best starting point because it's super easy to calculate and very clinically relevant for 99% of people.

why did they decided to change the definition in the first place ?

this

I don't think it's fun or interesting at all, I'll agree that no one simply cannot cook. A literal retard can throw chicken breasts in the oven, boil broccoli, and cook rice or wheat pasta with a little olive oil. Super healthy, clean meal with a good macro balance, not expensive at all, and incredibly simple to make.

Sure but then they should tax all bad things such as being to skinny, having high blood pressure, having low blood pressure, if you do a dangerous job they should tax you extra for it too, if you consume anything "bad" for you gotta pay a tax, and the list goes on and on.
