I am surprised this isn't here in America but come on. I families of 6-7 that make less then that and keep themselves fed, thin, and healthy.

They are everywhere. I think they are taking over the planet and soon we will succumb to their dominance! They would have to catch us first, though!
Another article from the same source is about plots of land on the moon going for < £28 ($50) - now that would be a nice thing to own!

| You're fat because you stuff your pie-hole with junk and way too much of it.
If everyone in America drew money for being fat we'd be bankrupt already.  |

I almost feel sorry for them, then I think. How for do they move in a day? From the bed to the bathroom to the kitchen to the couch to the bathroom back to bed.

I saw this yesterday, it's incredible.
One person on another forum made the point of "we should increase their benefits so that they eat even more and then all have heart attacks" 
But seriously, people like this shouldn't be given money for free. Genes is not an excuse for being fat. How are people so stupid that they don't put sitting down all day and eating junk all day together and work out that they're going to get fat?
I just remembered another person's idea: "instead of benefits they should be given free gym membership". The only problem with that is they'd probably not bother to go or say they didn't have time to. Maybe then once they started losing weight they could gradually get more and more money until they can get a job. Again, the problem with that is that nobody would want to do the admin side of that and oversee it
Anyway, have you seen the size of the people that site behind the tills at Tesco? Why can't they do that for a living, at least it's a bit of money!
Actually I know why. It's because they'd never finish scanning a transaction because they'd eat all the customer's food and give them the wrappers to pack into carrier bags.

People must take responsibility for the choices they make in life.
Overweight people tend to make excuses for being fat.
Way too many obese people seem to justify it to make them feel better.
There are many, many reasons for large amounts of weight gain.
Some are reasonable expectations to a specific circumstance and some are
just downright indescribable and have no valid justifications but poor habits.  |

i AM GETTING NO BENEFITS | It is called the Lambrusco Bulge, madam. It is the ladies' equivalent of a beer belly but there is a difference - beer bellies are made, not born.

I have a simple solution. if you weigh more then 300lb then you get to park in a special parking space. its at the back of the parking lot. That way they would have to walk their fat *** across the parking lot and lose that weight instead of getting to park in the handicap spaces . In America if you weigh over 300lb(maybe 350lb) you are considered disabled.

Neat - I like it!
In UKkers if you are so fat you cannot work they pay you to stay at home (and stuff yourself full of the wrong sort of food) to do nothing. Wonderful!

I couldn't live with myself knowing that I was so fat I got given money for nothing. I would actually hate myself.
