Default Should there be Fat Tax?

Last night there was a programme on TV in which the presenter suggested that fat people should be taxed.

Fact: Obesity costs the NHS £1 billion a year and the UK economy £2.5 billion in lost work. So to claw back the £3.5 billion he suggested a tax and various ways of going about it.

So considering the costs and the fact that most people are fat because they eat too much and exercise too little should there be a tax?
