With all of this chat on being fat or fattist; it is official government policy in New Zealand to bar overweight people from immigrating there. Check out:
"Should the uk or even ukc have a similar policy?"
Yes.....but it is a bit rich for the UK to start denying entry to fat people when our own house is not exactly in order....we are hardly a nation of people with ideal BMI's ourselves.

It's as good as NZ! Huge obesity problem over there.
but it is a bit rich for the UK to start denying entry to fat people when our own house is not exactly in order....
But the problem would not be added to by the addition of lardy immigrants

In reply to petealdwinckle: It is not being fattist or any other ---ist! Its plain common economic sense, why allow people to become part of your population when you know in advance they are likely to become a burden to your welfare services.
A lesson the UK could learn.

We could extend this idea to fast food outlets, a set of scales outside the Kebab House ejects people who are over weight !
