imo, yes

I'd rape her on the pizza until she got all bubbly from second degree cheese burns

the US just needs better education. it's not as if other countries don't sell fatty foods.

no you statist fuck

>no you statist fuck
but gay marriage and abortion should still be banned right?

The one on the left is opening an entire bottle of ranch dressing

Why are the pizzas so big? Jesus Christ!

Those two are really something. That upper arm looks as big as a thigh. The two of them could feed an Eskimo village for a whole season.

No cause I love fat chicks.

Nope. But it should prevent them from taking advantage of any free healthcare.

>taxes on sugar

The poor are the main consumers of sugary and unhealthy food because sometimes it is the only food in their price range. This doesn't solve the issue

I'd make her eat that whole pizza and not let her shit for 3 days. Let all that meat and cheese and crust cook up inside her. Then I'd have her poop on my chest. Then I'd have her climb on top of me and ride me.

easier solution would be to nuke america.

Nah, just change grocery stores to make the food aisle a foot wide.

Government should intoduce a sugar tax on soda, yes.

Sorry, the *fatass food aisle

You do know you have options on size, even on thick or thin and crispy base. Opps sorry you must be 1 size fits all murican. Would you like fries with that?

They need to at least once in their life pretend they care about human beings and prevent companies from putting chemicals on food. Also ban all the food that doesn't benefit the body at all.. But they'd rather us die at an early age

I got a great Idea. had it while shopping the other day and noticed that healthy foods were some times twice the price of the shit foods. so what if we
>tax the unhealthy foods like pop, chips, cookies etc
>use the tax to subsidise the healthy foods
>instead of a bag of apples being 4 dollars and a bag of cookies being 2 dollars
>it would be reversed.

No. The government's responsibilities are spelled out very carefully in the constitution and nowhere does it mention helping fattys lose wait or maintain a healthy lifestyle.

I would be okay with this. Pop/soda whatever is cheap, addictive and obesity inducing
We tax liquor and tobacco because health reasons, so why not sugar? "Because obesity a poor people issue we can't tax them more"
Smoking is a poor and stupid people problem and we tax the hell out of them

It does, partly. Subsidise healthy foods at the same time. This already happens, though, but americunts deny they participate in such socialist activities.

Shouldnt be taxing anything for "health reasons". Ever.

>The Year of our Lord Two Thousand Sixteen
>Being a constitutionalist
shiggy diggy

No. We should leave the the fat fucks to die.

>Subsidise healthy foods at the same time. This already happens, though
Farmers are often subsidized

Well, since i have to pay all of their bullshit "muh back" dissabikity claims im gonna say fuck yes. And anyone cought obese as fuck get money taken off their goddamn foodstamps.

Tired of working for thos niggers to sit around texting on their obamaphones

Processed shit is cheap because it is comprised of low quality ingredients.

The constitution is the only thing that protects your right to say that. Faggot.

Sorry, but that just seems like kind of a foolish statement. Americans are most definitely educated about fatty foods. Getting fat by eating junk food didnt "sneak up on us". I think it's more a lot of people being apathetic about being overweight, or lacking the will power to fight back against the addictive qualities of much of this junk food.

No the courts are

What are you talking about.

The government subsidies Sugar in order to lower it's price.

You would have the government (that already takes our money to subsidize sugar (thus lowering it's price)) to tax us again for consuming said sugar?

If you're so fat you have to be on disability then you are a bad person.

This

Fats should be taxed more

This

No. Once you get to that level you should have all government assistance of any kind taken away from you, as you have now become a burden to society in many ways.
>but muh genetics!
this is bullshit on the most basic level.
The law of the conservation of matter states that an ass cannot get fatter on its own.
No one gets fat or morbidly obese a for any other reason other than they eat too much and don't get any exercise at all.

>current year is 2016
>not being a statist

ISHYGDDT

There's a difference between knowing what food is bad for you and how you maintain a balanced/healthy diet.
Sure, cheap fast food, time management, addiction all play a role, but I would suspect if you'd ask most people on how they'd compose a healthy diet they'd be stumped really quickly.
Also, government should encourage healthier food, but that's not were the money is at, save for the current trend diet.

No.

Government should instead refuse to pay any medical costs associated with a poor lifestyle. As a smoker in the UK, I might be more inclined to give up if I knew the NHS wouldn't even see me if I developed a lung condition due to my own stupid actions.

The government aren't there to stop you making toast in the bath or falling out of a window, they're here as a societal scaffold and it's up to the individual to live responsibly

Why the fuck are you people discussing if the government should charge more tax on things and more worryingly why are some of you saying yes?
No!
Stop taxing me so much.
This is bullshit, absolute bullshit.
What a bunch of cuck wankers that said yes?
Stop cuckolding yourselves to your government. Sup Forums really isn't as rebel as it likes to make out. You all just want to be molly coddled, ooo no I must not eat that it's bad for me and anyway it's far too expensive for my tastes.
No it's not. The only problem presented here is if you struggle to fit 11 dildos up your shitter then you have absolutely no chance of a bakers dozen.

No, just stop all obesity related medical treatments, including motorized carts for hamplanets.

>the only food in their price range

Do you know how fucking cheap vegetables, beans, grains, staples and meat are? Cheaper than the shit these fat twats are slurping down. Anything is expensive when you eat 5 persons worth

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>morbidly obese fat fuck doesn't have an argument
>calls other anons "cucks" in raw fat anger
>while shoveling doritos into his mouth

100% yes on the health education programmes.
100% yes with a crackdown on sugar and products containing ridiculous ammounts.

This is you
>I don't want public services! Fuck roads! Fuck the fire department! Fuck the police! Fuck the military! Fuck garbage collection! Fuck the mail! Government shouldn't collect any tax!
