LA news release on fat

The Libertarian Alliance has issued a news release about the current health fascism that seems to be all the rage at the moment. We're all too fat you see.

The general argument is as follows:

Govt: You're all too fat.
Media: Holy cow, we're all too fat! We're like giant lardy time bombs.
Peeps: Erm, I'm fine actually.
Govt: No you're not. You're fat. You will destroy the NHS then die.
Peeps: Oh, the NHS. Can't I opt out or something?
Govt: No.
Peeps: Wankers.

Wanker seems to be the conclusion the Libertarian Alliance has come to in its news release:

If they want to do something useful, they should look to taking their own bodies in hand, and (l)eave the rest of us alone.
