A GENERAL increase in taxation affects everyone, fat and thin alike. One statement which you quoted was 'that everyone's life expectancy would increase by 5 days and a bit'. That is what you might expect if everyone was affected equally. What is clearly missing is any projection of how this GENERAL increase in taxation would cause INDIVIDUALS who are obese to change their ways. To put it another way, how can it be expected that a GENERAL imposition will crystallize into individual fatties to lose a LOT of weight? <br />The elephant in the room, which even the Zealots shy away from, is that the only real way to correct the obese is to literally <i>force</i> them, individually, to be corrected.
