[@barrett7893]

Amen to that! Talking about afford healthy food you can go to the farmers market and get cheap vegetables and fruits and everything else. But he doesn’t want that he wants fast food because it taste better. He can afford fast food and cigarettes. So why can’t you afford good healthy food from the farmers market? If he really wanted a better life he would get off his ass and do as much as he could and eat right. In the morning you can eat a scrambled egg and one piece of toast. And continue to lose weight and during lunch you can make good food. You can actually scramble a egg or two and cook some bell peppers and put them together and bell pepper and eggs or amazing and add a little bit of pepper no salt. You can have three courses a day. A good size medium breakfast a medium large and a medium dinner. Don’t tell me that you don’t have time when you’re on disability or SSI you have nothing but time!! Your drawn other peoples money that have paid into the government!! 💯 This makes me sick. They are just like any other Drug addicted person! They may not be doing a hard-core drugs but it’s still a addiction and they’re killing themselves slowly!! And using our money to pay for it. It’s the same way here in the United States. What is going to happen when half the government people that are paying in. Are no longer working and just getting SSI or Social Security and the other half is working and killing themselves! Here in the United States they’re trying to get rid of Social Security after you paid all these years in and then when you retire they want to get rid of it!! Which is unbelievable and sad!! But it’s because of (freeloaders like this.)That are entitled and expect everything to be given to them. Get off your ass and get a job and lose weight if you want to you will!! But if someone keeps handing you everything and paying your way why the fu$k would you get up and go to work?!!?? That’s the problem the government needs to give them a time limit to lose weight and get a job and everything. And really stick to it and if they don’t get themselves straightened out within a year cut them off! And let themselves or their family worry about it.!! People that get on disability that really don’t need it it’s just like a drug. They get everything for free they don’t have to pay any taxes and they’re sucking our money up that we’re paying into the system for nothing. No don’t get me wrong they are some serious ill people that need to be on disability no question about that. But if you’re just fat and you’re not trying to do anything about it and who’s fault is it? It’s not mine it’s your fault stop being entitled and thanking you should get everything for free of something that is your own fault!! But disability and SSI has become like a drug to these people. They don’t wanna work and of course they don’t want to because they get everything handed to them they don’t have to do anything and they just are like leeches or Mosquitoes. They just suck and suck as much as they can get. I mean their house is paid for they usually have really nice cars everything’s paid for they get food stamps and government assistance and their daycare is paid for. Who the hell would want to work with her getting all that? Most people that are drawing of the system are living a lot better than the working poor!!! 💯 No not every person is like this they are some people that really do have health issues that shouldn’t be working that should be drawn off the system but not everyone. It is a case to case Evaluation!! 💯 and you can afford to smoke cigarettes and afford to eat fast food? Why are you not working and why are you drawing of the system? Disability or SSI was only made to help you help the extreme poor or people with serious health issues. It was only supposed to be a semi Safetynet not a full Safetynet for your entire life. It was only created to basically give you enough to survive!! But somehow it has just become a great live in for some people that just don’t wanna work there lazy!! But I guess when half the people in the government quit working and the drawing fake Claims of disability and SSI!! And the other half Cannot continue paying for the other half. They will have to get off their ass and go to work I can’t save them like a leech in sucked up all the money that we paying the government. They’ll have to get off their ass and go to work and really do something or they’ll be homeless living on the street. Trust me they won’t be homeless they’ll be getting out getting a job or there family will take care of them!!

They're eating them because it's an easy to cook food, tastes good, and is cheap. What you may find easy and simple to do others may find difficult.

Somewhere between that amount of money for rent that’s the government gives for free with section 8 !! Also they drive some of the nicest cars you’ve ever seen!! And their kids go to daycare and get free lunches and they get depending how many kids they have they get between $500-$1000 a month in food stamps!! They get Baby milk and all of that. They get free medical and free dental insurance through the government programs! So they don’t have to worry about going to the doctor worry about paying for insurance. I mean they’re living the fu$king life don’t get me wrong.. The government is just giving all our hard earned money that we Pay in to Social Security away To freeloaders. What reason would they have to find a job when they’re doing so well through the government. There is no reason at all. They make more income than little better than the working poor. And that is the honest God truth. And every couple years they will have a kid so they continue doing all this. Basically scamming us out of our money. When finally half of the people in the United States are no longer working and just being lazy and drawing disability benefits or SSI. The other half will continue working and the other half continue being free loaders!! but they will not be any Social Security,SSI, or disability to turn to when you really need it. Because the government is already trying to get rid of Social Security the money we pay into the government to take care of us when we’re old. I guess those people will get up and get off their asses up and go get a job then but then it’ll be too late!! No,I’m not saying every person that draws disability is frauding the government. They are some people that really are sick that need disability or there some people that are having a rough time and need income while they’re looking for a job. Definitely that’s why the system was created. But the system was only supposed to be a safety net and that is all. It was only supposed to give you enough money to Let you barely get by. Not to be living better than the working poor. That’s why the system was created and that’s how it was supposed to be. But the government has changed it in so many ways and these free loaders are living the dream!! 💯 They are actually people that get $1000 worth of food stamps. Let’s just say they have three or four kids and some of them get even more than that. And they’ll sell half of their food stamps because They don’t need them. If you buy $500 they will only charge you $300 and you’ve got to think when you go to the grocery store these food stamps are not taxable so you’re not paying any taxes on anything!!

There's a big difference between excess weight caused by health issues such as the gentleman with MS, and health issues caused by excess weight brought on by eating too much of the wrong foods! MS is a REAL disability that is brought on through no fault of the person with it, however being obese and expecting the tax payer to foot the bill for a lifetime of gluttony IS NOT A DISABILITY! James is a real inspiration, get out there and enjoy your life James, you're doing great with your attitude 😊

[@mariehewett5240]

I agree that being obese is not a disability but not always due to the choice of living a life of gluttony. This is supposition as you dont know the woman or her circumstance and why she got to where she is today. I can understand the anger but not the hatred. This woman obviously has mental health issues and uses food as a prop. just like alcoholics, smokers and drug addicts that cost the country fortune in medical bills. Why is none of this a big issue as well? Also, being obese isnt always due to overeating - this is a myth. It can be due to hormonal imbalance, a low metabolism which doesnt absorb food quickly enough, medication - some drugs are weight loss inhibitors. I am overweight but not because I overeat as anyone would suppose due to the hatred of fat people which is a form of prejudice. I am overweight because I was born with curvature of the spine which runs in my family, fused discs in my lower back, lympheodema in my legs, emhysema in my lungs, stage 3 kidney disease, arthritis and Type 2 diabetes on insulin (a weight loss inhibitor. I am unable to exercise due to the above as not only is it painful but impossible in some cases. The diabetes triggered some of the above condition but this also runs in my family. It wasnt caused by overeating. I eat child portions and I choose healthy meals. I havnt eaten any meat for over 50 years and I dont like fried food, cakes or biscuits. This is just another take on a very popular misconception. Life isnt always what it seems.

[@mariehewett5240]

Gluttony isnt always the reason - sometimes it can be down to serious mental health issue where some people develop props to cope - like smokers and boozers and drug addicts for example. This lady may well be playing the system like to many these days, but who are we to judge when we dont know her reasons for her food addiction.

That doesn't mean all wheelchair users can do what he does. I use an electric wheelchair or my manual wheelchair if I can. I have to use my electric wheelchair more often than my manual one now, though, as my illnesses progress and my body degenerates. I am not paralysed. I need my electric wheelchair for many reasons. I have been in worsening pain every day since I was 11 years-old. I try and walk around the shop when I go to get food JUST do I move a little bit. I struggle with sitting, standing and walking because of drops in the pressure of the fluid in and around my brain and spinal cord, a permanently fractured spine, ongoing pelvic injury that saw me stuck in bed for 10 years and severe Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome that means all of my joints, including my spine, constantly sublux and dislocate. I'm sick of people telling me I don't look ill or I don't look disabled. I am sick of being in constant and worsening pain. I am sick of being stuck at home alone every day. I'm sick of my body getting worse. But, just because you see one person in a wheelchair doing something, it doesn't mean all of us can do it.

You can make really good value and healthy meals with very little effort in a slow cooker or electric pressure cooker. E.g things like cabbages (55p), carrots (45p/kg), onions (92p/kg), spring greens (70p) with pulses (£1.80/kg), beans, grains and/or lean meat and fish can make filling meals. Add a few herbs and spices, bit of salt. Can throw in pasta or have the casserole with some bread if wanting extra carbs. I know the cost of literally everything has skyrocketed but I still think basic fresh veg/fruit/pulses/grains etc are cheaper than loads of artificial ready meals and highly processed high salt/fat/sugar foods.

[@DavidSmith-oy4of]

It depends. If you can't afford a car then you're at the mercy of what you get delivered and I've found quite often the fresh vegetables aren't in great condition. There is no real consistency with regards to quality. And then you need to put in the prep time, which may not be long if you know how to do it, but those who don't might struggle to get it done if they have other things going on. When you factor in that something like a frozen vegetable pizza is only 1.50 and is consistently decent quality and anyone can shove in the oven, it's not hard to see why some people use that option.

[@BOLLOCKS1968]

[@helenglos5744]

I noticed Kathleen said she couldn't afford her medication if she didn't qualify for free prescriptions by being on benefits. As a diabetic she automatically qualifies for free medication regardless of her income or employment status. Surprised she wasn't aware of this - like a lot of her other comments she was fishing for sympathy; from me, she doesn't get any!

How can the second lady be exhausted after half an hour out on a mobility scooter, she hasn't walked anywhere!

[@ravenbaa7989]

I know

[@baltasarnoreno5973]

She's exhausted because all the extra weight she is carrying on her abdomen is impeding her breathing. Morbidly obese people can't actually breathe properly and they are semi-starved of oxygen. That's why any physical exertion leaves her exhausted.

[@MLeibs]

Until you read his medical report and discuss his various challenges with him and his doctor, it is way out of line to pronounce that he is gaming the system. You should know better if you have MS. It can effect you in various degrees, day by day, unpredictably and in 100s of different ways. Most times it debilitates in ways not visible to others that make steady employment very difficult. You sound like a Karen who is a real know-it-all.

I bought salad stuff, lettuce, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, baby beetroot, seeds and lemons for dressing. I bought a punnet of strawberries and a punnet of raspberries and a bottle of sparkling water. it was lovely but cost me nearly £13. Just for me. I ate it at 4pm and was hungry again by 8pm. If I had bought a pizza for £4 and a packet of biscuits, it would have been a third of the price and filled me up. The government should make fruit and veg cheaper by subsidising it. I don't drink or smoke or gamble and would love to eat fresh everyday but I just can't afford it.

[@miamiglia]

@@mattiemclean9882 totally understand you. Sometimes it is just cheaper to grab a bag of frozen and throw it in the oven. And fresh goes off so quickly that you have to buy Atleast every week. But she could of brought a bag of whole grain pasta, lettuce, cucumber, and a cheap vinegarette sauce and had a pasta salad instead of that McDonald’s. What she spent on that meal she could of made a healthy meal, and with her having diabetes I’d of assumed she’s Atleast try to be healthier.

@@miamiglia For sure. I wasn't really going to talk about her ridiculous use of money to literally kill herself with shite food!! My comment was more of a general thing. You are right of course. Obesity is costing this country billions and billions yet the government are totally behind the huge companies that make sugary drinks and take aways and frozen ready meals. I think it's damaged beyond repair now. Now Brexit has rid the country of farm workers, fruit and veg will go up even more. Do you think the tories really give a shit how much fresh food costs? Nope! They have never been remotely poor in their privileged lives!
