I'm thinking less meat and a bit of walking might do them some good.

I think they are victims, of our scocialistic society/government. The remedy won't be easy but could be achieved. It's called hard work and personal responsibility.

The remedy is very easy.  Cut off the welfare tit.


Whether they can survive after that, is another question.

The only thing that article makes me think about is eugenics.

Nothing but dead weight, and a whole lot of it!

Well, I do feel sorry for them, and for others in the same boat.
One of the problems is the lack of jobs for someone with no education or training....a situation that will most likely worsen.
I'd like nothing more than to see these folks get off the dole....but how do we turn this around?
Just cutting off their income isn't going to happen...although, I have to agree that a big reduction in the ice cream supply would be a great start.

For $637 in social security and $102 in food stamps they seem to eat very well.  My opinion of them would be QUITE different if they were hovering around 110lbs.

Do they give food stamps for McDonald's value meals now?

Actually, there is no lack of jobs for people who are lazy, I mean have no education or training.  It's just that they are filled with illegal immigrants.


Time and time again, we've seen if we kick their illegal tulips out, legal people fill up their positions the next day.

In the middle ages fatness was a sign of prosperity. I think we are paying them too much for food. When they are no longer hambeasts if they wish to get a job and pay for their own food they can blimp up, but on the public dole, they should be eating a thin gruel.

exercise is free

their size reflects more than just their eating habits ...
