Sugar isn't harmful in moderation, in fact it is essential to life.

As to smokers and fatties, aren't they already been denied operations in some areas?
Waiting 17 years for a knee op on a working man made me less happy at rationing at the younger end. Surely getting someone pain free to work and pay tax is more sensible ?

I'm not sure what you mean about the 17 years wait ?

Nor do I quite understand the idea of getting someone pain free so they can work and pay tax... well, I can from a hard-headed accountants point of view but it's not a system I'm keen on the idea of. I smoke and pay Tax (self-employed) so do I beat an older person who may not smoke?
I just can't see a system where been younger increases your entitlement for quicker treatment as very fair.
