How does one react to that? Though, NZ has a point and I could understand it if she were dependent on the national health care system. People who are chronically obese do have a higher occurance of health related issues. But he has health coverage, (and access to a gym they point out) and his wife wouldn't be on public health care... :hmm:

I wonder if laws saying "You're too stupid" would work... :hmm:

Following the same logic, anyone who smokes or drinks alcohol should not be admitted either.

By the sounds of things he's not going to be paid peanuts for the job, so why should his or his spouses plumpness be a drain on the state when it (seems to me) obvious that the guy will most likely pay for any medical bills privately.
I don't know about NZ, but if you've got the money go private. Public healthcare is not all it used to be certainly here in the UK as my other half will testify.

If it were me on principal I'd tell NZ immigratin to fk off and find another 'critically skilled worker' elsewhere, if they can.

On reflection it's increasingly obvious why every tom, dick and akhmed is comming to the UK when other countries have immigration rules like these...

oooh, that turned into a bit of a rant didn't it?

I guess the logic is that they might not be able to pay when they get health
problems in old age or when their helth means they can not work.

wow, that's quite scary in a way. "you're fat, go away!"

Chances are she could well lose the weight when she gets there, or, it may be she physically can't lose it. Either way this seems to stink a bit.

I met a women from NZ who was glad to get out as in her words things have gone down hill fast. And no she is only here in the UK before leaving for America.

Anyway when the oil runs out we will all have to work the land so there will be no more fat people.

Really depends what profession your in. Was she a nurse? Doctors/nurses get crap pay compared to aussie/UK a lot leave every month to aussie where pay is 3 times more than what they get here. On the other hand if your Computer technician or programmer average pay is $45 to $170 an hr. Its not good to be a builder over here cause of the leaky home problem, something like 3 billion in new homes are owe from certified "Master Builders" who build $300,000+ homes with untreated timber

. If your a real estate agent your can make a mint from over pricing the evaluation and if you rip your client off you cannot get done for it - cause it was just your bad luck you paid 200 grand for a house thats worth 100 grand, although after many years the govenment has finally brought out a law (just last month) where dodgy dealers will be prosecuted.

Thats just the tip of the iceberg. Only honest folks are the country lads down on the farm

wonder how long it may be before they start genetically screening people...?
can't imagine any justification for the fat person tag that could not also be used for the introduction of genetic screening..and once you've gone there...it's game over..because we are then in effect...fighting to remain geneticaly "pure"...
..one wonders..freedom? what was that again?

there is a strange quirk in history...that those ideologys defeated in war..often later "win over" their victors by other less violent means..the victor "absorbs" the ideology some how..finds it somehow "usefull"..and it echoes down thru history like a bad dream that won't go away...it's monkey politics

Stop producing junk food and bad food and almost poisenous food. That simple: what is not availablel cannot be eaten, cannot ruin people's health.there are some things were this is all so ovvious and evident.

Problem is not how much you eat. Problem is what it is that you eat. If you eat the "right" things (hypoglycaemic carbon hydrates), and avoid the "wrong" things (hyperglycaemic carbon hydrates) you can eat as much as you want, since your insuline production remains low and most of the carbon hydrates do not end up in being transformed into energy reserves and being added to your body's fat reservoirs.

the link between type of carbon hydrates, insuline production and fatness is so very simple and easy to understand, really.

Now how do we solve this existential problem of bad stuff being so damn tasty?

Probably no solution. So, better don't produce it from the very beginning.

It's called 'Freedom' a term that the word 'Democracy' get's confused with a lot.
