The argument that us casual drinking fatties cost the NHS a lot of money always makes me laugh when you consider that the vast majority of those in a doctor's waiting room and queuing up to collect their prescriptions are not overweight.
I have not seen a doctor for a couple of years and I only saw him then because he wanted to see me rather than have me go to the nurse for my unwanted six monthly check up.
We are definitely becoming a nanny state.
