Fat tax melted down

FIRST, it was when and where we can’t have a drink. Then it was where we can’t smoke. Now it’s what we can and can’t eat.

It’s rumoured our nanny state is to introduce a tax on takeaway food for overweight people. This will be known as the Fat Ass Retention Tax (FART).

But perhaps this is just another load of political hot air.
