Overweight 'should be protected'

They should introduce the laws they have in Sweden where you can only buy a certain amount of alcohol a week. They should do it with food, so fat people can't have kitchens full of pies, biscuits, oven chips and ice cream.

Ahh but what about us cyclists who need more food than non-cyclists? Or that guy Michael Phelps who apparently went through 12,000 calories/day when training. Let people eat too much if they want, let people smoke/drink if they want, it's their body, they know the risk they're taking, it's just a shame that tax-payers money is being wasted on people who knowingly put themselves in these positions where they need healthcare they wouldn't otherwise require.
