The other night I watched a rather good program called ‘Taxing the Fat’. For those who didn’t watch it, despite what the title might suggest, it didn’t actually go down the route you might expect.

Taking your child away on holiday can sometimes be a very dangerous thing to do. In only a few short weeks they can morph into a human being barely recognisable from the one you once knew. As routine, balanced diet and consistency goes out the window, everything you ever taught them seems to follow, including good manners, eating habits and general all round intelligence.

So, finally a doctor in the UK has been brave enough to speak out and voice what many people already think – that instead of pandering to the needs of the morbidly and super morbidly obese with free mobility scooters and Disability Living Allowance, they should be made to contribute towards the massive strain they are placing on the health system, by paying more tax. And in turn, those who work hard to remain fit and healthy should be financially rewarded for their effort.

So poor old Kerry Katona has been dropped as the ‘face’ of supermarket chain Iceland has she. Poor love, how’s she going to fuel her drug habit now? I feel another stint in The Priory is on the cards for her any day now.

This morning, as I do every morning, I sat at my desk, opened my email and waited to see what tripe flowed into my inbox….But this morning threw up something a little bit unexpected. An email from the most powerful man on the planet – President Barack Obama himself.

The Australian ‘Biggest Loser’ final took place the other night, and what can I say but ‘WOW’. What an inspiration these people should be to every person sitting on their sofa loving backsides in front of the TV.

Everyone knows that asking a mother what sort of diet their child has is paramount to calling them hopeless, useless and completely irresponsible….
