I was a huge fan growing up, and I really enjoyed a good number of moments through the 9th & 10th, but I now view Doctor Who as a beautiful train wreck because of the insultingly poor science and abusive use of deus ex machine-style script writing. They say it's a kid's show, but even kids are smarter than to buy some of the answers they come up with nowadays.
I'm American (sadly, nowadays I feel the need to apologize about that), and I used to be a bounder myself. I lost the weight, and my metabolism is such that it's very easy for me to gain. I can speak from the heart: Your health is your choice. Your genes decide the penalty if you screw up your body, but if you maintain your body with healthy foods, making sure you get the vitamins and minerals you need while maintaining a healthy Ph level, you're not going to become obese.
That introduction being said: NZ is well within its rights as a country to be concerned about the tax burden of its citizens. If it feels fat people constitute an unwelcome burden, and since they ARE a parlimentary democracy, then that's the way it goes. Stop complaining and go pay your 40%+ tax rate.
Incidentally, I don't fool myself about how the way democracy works; if the majority want to do something, even if it's to HARM some one, group, or thing, then, majority rules. This is also why I prefer a constitutional Republic, like America used to have.
Finally, let's do get back to something Neat on Neatorama. Politics are easy to talk about, but are not properly categorized when placed on a site associated with Uncle John's Bathroom Reader and Mental_Floss.
