we need to get off it being an obesity problem and call it what it is....a nationwide health problem.
And why is it a nationwide health problem? Isn't that because it's part of our society and our culture?
I actually think much of the problem has to do with immigration and foreigners. Here in Britain there's way too many Pakistanis, Indians, Greeks, Turks, and Chinese people.
Many of these people come over to this country with the sole intention of making people fat and messing up our society. They take up our shops and open up restauarnts and take aways designed solely for the purpose of creating strange food that many people enjoy eating.
The Indians and Pakistanis are among the worst offenders, because they make food such as curry which smells and they are quite open about their intention about making people fat by making their curries as cheap as possible and putting up signs like 'Eat As Much As You Like for £5.00'. Also they put too many spices in their food which makes it more difficult to digest when you've been drinking beer and alcohol and this causes a lot of people to vomit and leave pavement pizzas everywhere.
It's also bad for the environment and causes distress and suffering for people because they have to spend more time sitting on the toilet, using up more toilet roll which uses up more paper and trees. This is not to mention the harmful gases which pollute our atmosphere through people farting a lot more after eating dishes like prawn vindaloo and chicken biryanis, or suffering from halitosis after eating too much chilli or garlic.
Some of them try to disguise their motives by pretending to be innocent newsagents but they are just as bad for our national health because they sell cigarettes. Others are out there everywhere you go openly selling food and trying to get us all pissed by selling alcohol, attracting people with signs like 'Six cans for a fiver'.
The Greeks and Turks are just as bad because they get together meat from different animals and mash it all together into a big lump shaped like a log which they proudly display in the shop window and make kebabs from it. They get these pitta breads and slice them open, and shove in lots of meat and fat and grease, then throw in a bit of salad on top and drench it with lemon juice to make you think it's healthy but they then shower it with red hot chilli sauce which if it doesn't make you throw up after six pints will usually result in an uncomfortable twenty minutes in the bathroom.
Some people are aware of this and they try to resist, attempting to take exercise, even when they're there sitting on the toilet, and they start doing exercises to develop their abdominal muscles and sphincter muscles.
The Chinese are just as bad if not worse. There's no way of knowing what they put into their food, because they advertise it in their own language such as chow mein, chop suey, and this is difficult for many people to workout - especially if they're coming back from the pub being a bit steamed. But the Chinese make it easier for them by asking them to choose a number.
Even Europeans are coming over here with the intention of making people fat. take the Italians for instance. They take a big round lump of dough, throw random bits of food over it and cover it with cheese and bake it, calling it a pizza.
But they are not as bad as the Americans who do this differently. Unlike the Pakistanis, Indians, Greeks and Italians they don't come over and take up our shops on the High Street, but create these massive corporations like MacDonalds and Pizza Hut and Dunkin Donuts from which they openly sell food which makes people put on weight and get fat.
Some of them do it in small, discreet ways, such as a hot dog, a simple cheeseburger, 'fries' but you can tell these American places because they all have the same decor and names and they all compete with each other over who can sell you the most fattening burger. Yes indeed the message behind these names that they give these burgers all indicate that big is beautiful - the Big Mac, the Whopper, the Quarter-Pounder, The Half-Pounder. One of these places, KFC which does fried chicken, spicy fried chicken, and in fact anything and everything with chicken will even sell you buckets of food.
Yes that's right, not a dish, not a plate, but a full bucket of food.
We Brits can't even get our own back. Not only because all the available shops are being taken up by all the Pakistanis, Indians, Greeks, Turks, Chinese and other foreigners we can't even get the land because the Americans keep turning up and building their own restaurants on our land.
We can't also get our own back because everyone else tells us that our food is crap. I mean, you walk down the streets of Bombay, Peking, New York and Athens you don't see fish and chip shops everywhere do you? You don't see Americans getting together to eat pork pies and mushy peas do you?
Has anyone tried to offer a Pakistani or Arab a good old bacon sandwich? And what was their response? I bet you that they didn't accept the offer and made up some excuse about not eating pig meat because of their religion. But I can tell you that's bullshit. It's because they've met other Brits who are overweight and who have smelly breath and even smellier farts and they don't trust our food. I mean you can't be going down to the mosque after a plate of bubble and squeak with all the boiled cabbage it contains and praying with your fellow Muslims because if you let out a loud smelly fart you would probably be causing jihad even without leaving the mosque. And that's why you rarely ever see Arabs or Pakistanis with beer bellies and a Dagenham smile poking out from above their jeans (note that they will also tell you that they don't drink because of their religion).
The only people who are prepared to defend our national cuisine and food are the supermarket chains but they have to sell this stuff off cheaper to compete with the Americans, Italians, Pakistanis, Indians, Greeks, Chinese and other foreigners. They do this by buying food from food companies which buy up the cheaper, less popular cuts of meat (such as bulls' willies and sheeps' bottoms) chopping them up and mincing them and putting them into pies and 'the Great British Banger' and other foods like fish fingers, meatballs, and selling them off cheap.
So it's not the fault of parents or kids or fat people at all, it's the fault of the rest of the world who are all trying to get into the country to open up shops and restaurants so that they can sell us different foods and dishes to make us all fat.
They do exactly the same thing to try and get us all pissed as well. The Poles and Russians keep exporting their vodka to us, the Germans, Dutch, Danish and Australians keep sending us their beer, the Greeks send us ouzo, the Americans send us bourbon, and many other countries keep sending us wine.
This goes back in history. It was the Americans who got us started on cigs, chips and crisps when they introduced us to tobacco and potatoes. Of course they deny all knowledge of this when they pretend not to understand us when we talk about fags, crisps and chips but they speak English just as we do. They know what we are talking about the same as we do but they pretend not to understand simply to avoid taking the blame for sending Sir Walter Raleigh back with some spuds and tobacco as souvenirs from America.
Obviously it's too late now the damage has been done. Part of the problem we've brought upon ourselves by making sports such as soccer popular all over the world. And are we any good at it? How many times has England won the World Cup? Once, just once, in 1966. However for years we've been working to develop a reputation through our love of soccer not only for not playing it very well but for having crowds of men with beer bellies and Dagenham smiles poking out the back of their jeans who like to watch football, get pissed, eat food and vomit everywhere and break into fights afterwards.
I mean when tourists come to the country what do they see? They see us behaving much the same as any other nation except on Friday or Saturday night when some of us get dressed up, drench ourselves in perfume and after-shave (to disguise the bad breath and farts later in the evening) and 'go out on the piss' down to the local pub to drink alcohol until we get drunk, then we go and pig out on whatever food is available in the shops such as kebabs, curries, pizzas, burgers, chicken, etc, throw up, swear a bit, every so often get into a fight, get arrested, get taken away by an ambulance, puke up a bit more, and spend much of the next Sunday wandering round in a daze with aterrible hangover.
This has given us a worldwide reputation. Even the kids know about it. They don't want to become sport stars or pop singers when they grow up, not in China or India. They grow up wanting to be a newsagent in Watford, start a Chinese restaurant in Birmingham or a curry house in Bradford.
And we let them do it.
