Im shocked she doesnt also claim to have a thyroid problem like most cows do.  Cant afford to eat healthy?  Oats, tuna, frozen veggies...... dirt cheap.

We live in such amazing times that the #1 health problem amongst the truly destitute is obesity.

I have often pondered this.

Why are so many obese people dressed up as "homeless" and asking me for my change on the street?

for example

THIS!
I see 3 fully abled 30-50yr olds begging on my drive home from work standing at intersections with signs that say "hungry" while their guts are sticking out farther than a 9 month pregnant woman's. It really pisses me off and I always ask myself "do these men have no pride or shame at all?!"

"An obese mother-of-two who lives on benefits says she needs more of taxpayers' money to overhaul her unhealthy lifestyle.
Christina Briggs, 26, says she hates being 160 kilos but she can't do anything about it because she can only afford junk food. Meanwhile, exercise is out of the question because she doesn't have the funds to join a gym."

11/10!!!  I punched a hole through the wall and emailed a rant to a local councilman.

This is why I cannot believe in evolution because if somethings sole purpose is to survive it adapts to survive by any means and it looks like there is millions of lazy bitches like this all over the planet.

Are you retarded? Social welfare is the antithesis of darwinism. Propping up the weak from the spoils of the rich. The original intention was good and could still be but when a culture of dependence is created and catered to of course people will take full advantage.

There need to be rules and boundaries set on recipients of benefits. Be that drug tests, education, attempts to work or even limits on child welfare to discourage people squeezing out 10+ sponges. Bleeding hearts will moan about this but while welfare goes unchecked those in need see their benefits reduced and there is a growing stigma towards benefits claimants many of whom have just lost a job or have problems.

Plenty of money for chest tattoos and orange hair dye though.

You nailed it.  Other day two girls were on the news asking for donations to her their mom out who lost everything in a fire.  Each one had about two thousand dollars worth of tattoos all over their arms.

Funny how the poor in actual poor countries aren't fat.
