The British government is thinking of introducing a sales tax on fatty, crappy junk-food to encourage (poor) Britons to get skinnier.
"We have a culture now where the population is eating foods which are high in fat and energy because fat is a cheap and filling ingredient.
"For many patients, it is hard to make changes to their diet because of the ubiquity of unhealthy foods.
"It is an utterly cynical exploitation and the poorest are affected disproportionately because they have less choice about where they shop and what they can buy."
