Fatties Should Take A Tip From Smokers. To Ward Off Those Cravings For Chips They Should Sellotape A Crisp To The Top Of Their Arm Every Morning.
For you Yanks replace the word chip with fries and crisp with chip. I think it could work.

That's a good one. Your debate topic has made my day. I will be giggling through all of the household chores I do today.

With that said, I do put some seriousness in the fact that people preach to smokers all about the ill effects to their health, but are afraid to offend overweight people and tell them to put the junk food down or they are at risk of many of the same things smokers are at risk for. I am unfortunate enough to have started smoking many years ago. I do wish I would find a way to quit and not start up again. I have tried a few times. The thing that makes me angry is that I am looked at like I am a pathetic loser with no will power and people have no issue telling me all about that. If I were tipping patent pending on the scale, people would "feel sorry" for me. Well, some people would. Others would whisper behind my back. No one would come up to me and tell me that I could not purchase high fat, processed, or carbohydrate loaded snack foods. I have often felt that if, we smokers have to be chastised, then overweight people should have someone at the market going through their carts to replace their "bad" food choices with fruit and veggies.

 Ah good, I am glad I raised a chuckle from you. Well done for having a sense of humour. It is amazing that a few didn't even realise I was joking. I might do another debate similar soon, but I have to do a serious one first.

As for your serious points I agree. They may be wasted on this page but you can't argue with your logic. I often walk by a chunkymonkey with a bag of chips in one hand and a coke in the other and I fight so hard to stop myself , patting their ample gut, pointing at their food, and saying "that's why, isn't it?"

This year I have one ciggie after lunch, and one after dinner - not too bad. It is a terrible habit but so hard to kick.

I could see how this would work, but I think you might want to evolutionize your product before selling it as is. I agree with the concept, but not with taping a french fry to your arm.

 Well they work best when slapped right over the mouth. Maybe just cello tape over the mouth?

LOL! Sounds kinda kinky....

I don't see how adhering food to yourself would stop the cravings? At least nicotine patches supply the wearer with small doses of nicotine to help them over come the addiction. Taping food into place on your arm would just be a tease.

:-D

Lmfao! I don't think it'd have the same effect as a nicotine patch. But I smiled at the though of a town of obese people walking about like that =)

 I am pleased you like that. I started this to see who had a sense of humour and who was dumb enough to think it was a serious point.

What are you on about? That is the most stupidest thing I have ever heard. Just because there are cigarette patches, doesn't mean that taping a crisp to your arm means you can stop eating.

 Perhaps not, but it would be an interesting conversation starter.

My favourite food is soup and you can't tape that to your arm. If it were chips I would eat it within 5 minutes of taping it to my arm. I don't get this. What good is attaching something you like to your arm? All it would do is make me want it more.

 Maybe it won't work. Soup is ok though so I wouldn't worry too much.

I think you're being facetious, either that or you don't quite get how addiction and nicotine patches work.
