I think what saddened me the most about that article was the fact that they didn't know how to eat properly to lose the weight and keep it off. It is so easy to go down to your local library and get free books out on healthy eating and weight loss. I'm a big believer in educating yourself about your own health.
But saying they should get more money cos they are fat?? Hell no!!

I find it hard to believe that these people, who obviously know all about using a system to get the maximum benefits, don't know what foods are healthy for them. I suspect, it's a matter of them not having the necessary skills to make the adjustments they need to.
By skills, I am meaning the momentum, self-esteem or whatever else is preventing them from loving themselves enough to want to be healthy. Maybe there are addiction issues too.
There is also the fact that they may just be bone lazy, and don't want to get off their butts, why should they, when they can be taken care of by doing nothing.
Although they are 'big' people, I've seen bigger, and suspect they could find something to do, if they wanted to.

Ooooh my giddy aunt - those people aren't fat enough to get there sorry arses out of bed to go to the fridge - That's disgusting, there is always something that someone can do to earn the privilege of receiving government assistance.
