RE: OBESITY to overtake smoking as biggest health threat in East Lancs, says minister.

So smoking is actually just as harmless as Britain’s so called ‘obesity epidemic’? I think the public health racket is getting very close to the bottom of the barrel with smokers and needs a new target.

Prepare for many more comparisons to smokers and many taxes, bans, restrictions and fat people shaming schemes, based very closely on the tobacco control template.

Mr Hunt said: “That is the big change that we need to see in the NHS over this parliament – a move from a focus on cure to a focus on prevention.”

No we definitely don’t need to do that. We all pay for the NHS through tax and should expect to be treated if it’s needed. We don’t want an NHS that spends our entire lives telling us how we should live them and then denying us treatment if we don’t stick to the proscribed doctrine.

We should stop funnelling money to these ‘public health’ temperance lobby groups and we should invest it in actual treatment of sick people.
