...Ok, ok, we would have to do a gov’t paid for doctor risk analysis/evaluation to see who is spared the fat tax.

The only reason to watch his show is to see if somebody finally gives him a meat cleaver to the head.

Like actors should just shut up and act, chefs should just shut up and COOK!

Hey Gordon, lets play my game first. You get punched in the mouth if you say something stupid. Now...close your eyes!

I’ve always liked Gordon Ramsay (especially “Kitchen Nightmares”) but that’s a huge load ‘o crap.

The idea that the state should get involved with this is ludicrous. However, a real problem exists:

A child brought up to be obese will - over a lifetime - cost health care providers about as much as an AIDS patient (again, over a lifespan). That is serious dinero (diabetes meds, heart disease, surgery etc.), which other people do have to work for.

That may be true but it does not justify in anyway what Gordon Ramsay is proposing. Suppose they order us on the wrong diet and it makes things worse? Suppose also that the child has a genetic problem that causes the obesity and the parents are arested for no fault of their own?

Completely agree. That's why I called his statement ludicrous in the first place.

Serves the bastard right.
