Debate #12: Should the NHS pay for obesity?

We're gonna hit a raw nerve with this one - very inkeeping with spirit of the debates we thought.

We want to discuss personal responsibility around health issues. Everyone knows about the health issues aurrounding smoking and alcohol, and the dozens of government led initiatives to try and improve our nutritional and fitness wellbeings mean that we're all fully aware of how we should be looking after ourselves.

So with that in mind, do you think the NHS/health insurance should pay for treatment related to obesity and other health-related problems which stem from being overweight?

Is it a personal responsibility to maintain your own health or do some people need the authoritative intervention of something like the NHS because they just simply can't do it by themselves?

Please get really stuck into this debate because we're really excited about the responses for this one.

Debate #11: Training with your partner is a recipe for disaster

Just in the nick of time for Valentine's Day we ask - is training with your partner a recipe for disaster?

Does a shared love of the same activity make for a stronger relationship, or is it bound to end in tears or an argument?

Is your activity your ‘me’ time that you don’t want to share, or would you love your better half to join you? If your better half doesn’t train with you, how do you keep them involved in that part of your life?

This will prove an interesting one as we're likely to get some vastly different responses to this so wade in with your two-penneth and let us know your thoughts.
