"Coming from Canada and a Universal HealthCare system I'm sick of paying taxes so someone to go to the hospital from obseity or smoking".
I wonder whats the price of a packet a cigarrents in Canada, is it so cheap that you actually feel that the taxes you pay have to cover the health problems due to smoking? In Europe, smokers feed pretty much the health care costs of their filthy habit because the taxes when buying cigarrents are out of proportion. As a smoker myself, when buying cigarrents in Europe I don't feel that others will pay for the health problems that smoking may cause in the longer terms.
THe problem with obesity is that food that is good for you is considerably more expensive than junk. Fruit, fish and fresh vegetable prices are in the rise, whilst a big mac is a much cheaper option to feed the family, and let the tax payers deal with the health problems related to obesity. Sad but true.
