Fat-headed
NO one can deny the need to tackle Britain’s expanding waistlines.
Obesity wrecks lives, as well as putting unbearable strain on the NHS.
But Public Health England’s 100-page proposal dictating caps on calorie levels for everything from onion bhajis to salad dressing is insane.
It will hit restaurants, manufacturers, supermarkets and, inevitably, customers.
Brits ate more in the 1970s but were slimmer as we led more active lives.
Getting people off their couches would reverse our obesity problem far more effectively than punitive meddling.
The Tories are supposed to be the party of free choice.
They should remember that.
Milking misery
IT is indefensible that almost half of hospitals have hiked their car parking fees in the last year.
Some may argue that they need to charge something, if only to stop shoppers and commuters nicking the spaces.
But the fees are extortionately more than is necessary to act as a deterrent.
Every year, the Government makes the right noises about the need to slash fees… and every year nothing happens and they rise even further.
Hospital patients and their families should not be clobbered for being sick.
What’s more, it means low-paid NHS staff, many unable to rely on public transport as they work anti-social hours, are being fleeced by their own bosses.
How can that be right?
MOST READ IN OPINION
No kidding
THE use of therapy goats in prison to teach lags how to “take responsibility for others” is almost beyond parody.
Inmates at the Category B jail HMP Swaleside should be undergoing educational activities to help them find employment for when they leave jail.
But at a time when our prisons are grossly understaffed, some bright spark thought spending taxpayers’ cash on farmyard animals was a priority.
It really gets our goat.
Bag bugs
REMEMBER when the Tories stood for low taxes rather than being obsessed with dreaming up new ones?
Environment chief Michael Gove wants to double the 5p plastic bag charge and roll it out to thousands of small shops currently exempt.
As The Sun has previously argued, there is little practical justification for hiking the charge — but it is yet another little nibble at the pockets of hard-pressed shoppers when we should be encouraging them on to the high streets.
Whatever happened to the Government’s vow to help the “just about managings”?

Hayden Panettiere
Size: 8
Age: 18
Height: 5ft 1in
Weight: 8st
To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.
Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
