The Daily "Hate"Mail has the following article about how to get loads of benefits if you are addicted to eating like a pie-aholic £80m bill for obesity
Those of you who know me well, might consider this a risky topic for me to approach as my own gastronomic adventures tend to involve large quantities of fatty meats, the ribeye instead of the fillet, the pork belly rather than the chops and all the cheese goodness of real mozzarella. Luckily for me, by the grace of god, or the randomness of evolution I have managed to keep my butt in my 32" waist jeans for the past 15 years.
Anyway, back to paying people to sit on there arses because they are too fat to work seems a little counter intuitive to me, surely the last thing they need in fact. It's not the amount of money were wasting that's shocking, to be fair, it's a very small amount of money in the scheme of things, but it is the idea that we, and by we I mean the tax payer, are "helping" these people. What they need is a gym membership and court order to attend. tough love? maybe. Legal? probably not, but nor is taxing hard working people, who make consciences decision about their families diet, to subsidize the self destructive choices of the ignorant and lazy.
Top Things to Fix The Problem
1. Stop Rewarding People with a free pass for being obese. NO MORE BENEFITS
2. Make legally binding contracts with them to get in shape, money for gyms is available now that you don't get paid for sitting on your arse.
3. Education, Education, Education if children are fat, bring the parents for mandatory education on nutrition. If the refuse, its child abuse.
Most of this is UK specific where people don't bear the cost of their choices, in the US there is no health insurance if you don't work. So you couldn't have this situation arising so do what you want.
