No problem there but how is it that they can get fat living on benefits? surely we are paying them too much in the first place. How can they afford to smoke drink and live on takeaways? Benefits must be huge.

not all fatty food is takeaways.

why would you assume all fat people must live on takeaways?

it costs very little have a fry up or homemade chips etc

Does this mean that I will not be able to buy chocolate if I continue to stay on benefits?

Don't forget the ever so humble pie!

The answer is to put them on the Atkins Diet. As everyone knows you lose weight by keeping of the carbohydrates (ie, bread, cakes and biscuits) but in return you can eat as much fatty food as you like (no restriction).

The pounds will fall off as your body tries to consume the fat you have on your body and as there is plenty of it it will work wonders.

What about fat people who have jobs, they should be penalised too, think of all the extra money the NHS could save then. Oh I know, why don't we all get microchipped and every time we buy something we could swipe our microchips and then everything that everyone does could be monitored (but not MPs though, no let them do what they like, be as fat as they like, smoke what they like, etc, etc). It's about time the 'powers that be' pissed off and started doing what they are supposed to do rather than constantly bullying various sections of society.

I'll 2nd that Sherr.

Now some gym executive is on Sky news saying it 'only' costs £10.99 a month to join one of his gyms (when we were on benefits we didn't have the money to eat, let alone spend £11 on exercise). These people really do not live in the real world, make me so cross.

Did you see the program on last night about diets & gyms? they state that people are just wasting their money's.

[ZedBloke]

if they can't afford 11 quid a month how can they afford to get fat?

When I was little fat people were jolly,friendly sorts. Skinny people mean & sinister.
It's funny how their demonised now. Don't mention NHS costs, if we all stopped smoking, drinking, eating & lived to 110yrs you'd have much bigger problems in the Nhs. I was going to say with pensions too but I expect you'll have to work till your 105.

[ummmm]

You'll get fat if you sit on your arse and eat crap food, it's as simple as that.

Like Cazzzz said earlier, you don't need to eat much, but if your diet consists of pies and chips, you will get fat.
