As if the government didn't have enough to worry about with the economy, Libya and Big Brother evictions David Cameron has been exercising his mind on how to solve the national obesity crisis. One idea being kicked about is a "fat tax" in order to discourage the consumption of high fat foods and get two ton teenagers off our streets. It all sounds a bit complicated though because fats are a necessary part of our diet and calories don't just come from fats.
However, Dave need not worry because one of his own peers has solved the problem. In a landmark speech to the Lords last Thursday Lord McColl of Dulwich patiently explained to the upper chamber the way for people to lose weight was for them to eat less.
How much more intellectual talent within its own ranks is being neglected and under-utilised by this government?
