Completely false comparison because junk food doesn't harm other people around them who don't eat it. The only way she could make that comparison was if anyone who ate junk food around people shoved parts of it down the mouths of other people around them... and even doing that would be less harmful than shoving smoke down people's lungs. Unhealthy food is still at least a food. Not just a fucking addictive poison that harms other people around them who don't want to even consume that fucking addictive poison.
I stand by almost everything I said (except the tax rates, which was a little extreme, I typed it while pissed off), junk food should be taxed like cigarettes. Fat people are still a drain on the NHS, at least smokers pay their fair share towards the health system. Maybe age restrictions should be placed on unhealthy food as well to cut down on child obesity.
Do you think that eating junk food around people in pubs should be banned from smoking around people who don't eat junk food for exactly the same reason that smoking in pubs around people who don't smoke should be banned from pubs?
I personally think that there should be pubs for smokers. But I think pubs for junk food would be absurd.
