I found this post about an obese family in Britian on Master Your Card and couldn't NOT post it here. This family has gone so far as to say that fruits and vegetables are expensive, and quite frankly, while they’d like to lose weight, they just don’t know how. Here’s a tip: Eat less of what you’re already eating, throw in a little FREE exercise (walk around the block for goodness sakes), and read a book on weight loss.Is this acceptable? It would seem to me that if you are getting too fat to go to work you are also getting too fat to take a shower, wipe yourself after you poo, and even sit at a kitchen table to eat. If you are getting too big to do these things, and you didn't know what to do, wouldn't it make more sense to consult with a doctor and seek solutions instead of sitting around claiming you don't know how to lose weight? How is it ok to just give these people money so they can sit around their house and get worse? Isn't that hurting them more?
How would you handle this situation?

it's a british thing. last time i was there i met a guy that was getting paid by the govt for some "injury" and he was perfectly fine to go to the pub all the time, but not work. this lady at the makeup counter was bitching to me about how common this is in england too.
