Alongside the NHS staff badges campaign, the presenter of Sky 1 TV show Fat Families also wants to champion restaurants having a warning on their menus, which reads ‘If you are fat, think before ordering’.
Steve told Express.co.uk in February what he believes is causing the nation’s obesity problem.
“Promoting ‘big is beautiful’ (AKA fat and proud) is plainly wrong,” he said.
“Endorsing such a mantra opens up the floodgates for millions to potentially suffer severe medical conditions such as type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, cancer and stroke.
“I like to think most humans are attractive on the inside and I would champion a cause for that. However, how on earth can we endorse overweight as attractive?”
He says “pussy footing” around and using euphemisms like ‘overweight’ and ‘big boned’ is killing people and the message ‘fat is acceptable’ need to be more clear.
Reacting to the report published today, Steve has recommended a number of shock measures he believes will tackle the problem head on.
His first suggestion is junk foods should carry a warning sign that reads ‘Fat Causes Cancer’.
He also believes fat TV presenters should be put on an immediate body improvement notice.
“These people are often worshipped by the viewers,” he said. “If Tv presenters are fat it’s basically saying ‘yeah it’s ok to be fat!’”
His suggestions also include a ban on fat acceptance campaigns, as these are “cancer contracting”, dismissals of fat dieticians who are “normalising fat as acceptable”, and “fat” models to be replaced by those who are size 12/14.
Dairy Milk, Mars bars and Kit Kats could be about to shrink in a bid to tackle child obesity.
