Are you overweight? If so you now have more to worry about than the Big Brother Nanny State. Environmentalists are now blaming global warming on you! I can’t make this stuff up.
Scientists warned that the increase in big-eaters means more food production – a major cause of CO2 gas emissions warming the planet.
Overweight people are also more likely to drive, adding to environmental damage.
Dr Phil Edwards, of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said: “Moving about in a heavy body is like driving in a gas guzzler.”
Each fat person is said to be responsible for emitting a tonne more of climate-warming carbon dioxide per year than a thin one.
It means an extra BILLION TONNES of CO2 a year is created, according to World Health Organisation estimates of overweight people.
The scientists say providing extra grub for them to guzzle adds to carbon emissions that heat up the world, melting polar ice caps, raising sea levels and killing rain forests.
Which reminds me, that eliptical machine is calling out my name. Now that I’m a right wing extremist I don’t want to be tagged with another label by Big Brother.
Apparently I’m the most dangerous type libs say there is:
Overweight tea bagging extremist with a gun. (Several actually.)
And now I’m p!ssed.
When was the last time you had a Dr. who would prescribe effective diet meds without fear from getting the attention of the DEA? I’m in my 50′s and I STILL hear: “Do I need to refer you to a nutitionist?” Excuse me?

They mispelled Tons. (Tonnes? WTF is that?)
Once THEY learn to spell, I’ll learn to be skinny.
