Family Deems Itself Too Fat to Work

This is a repost from Cooking With Andrew's post from Sunday, March 22. Andrew describes his blog as "A cooking blog for college students! There will be simple recipes, helpful cooking tips, and musings about anything related to cooking. Everything in this site is from my experience, so if you have any comments regarding my cooking and methods, let me know."

Here is what Andrew has to say:

I cannot describe my level of disgust right now. Before I start, let me say I'm not hating on fat people right now. After you read this you'll probably share my disgust. Anyways, this family lives in BlackBurn, UK. They weigh a combined 1162 pounds. Of course, obesity issues are a prevailing problem in many developed countries, so why am I picking on these people? The Chawners haven't worked in 11 years. They claim a yearly £22,508, which is a little more than $40,000. Guess what? They want more! Mr Chawner says, "What we get barely covers the bills and puts food on the table. It's not our fault we can't work. We deserve more". This is what they have on an average day: cereal for breakfast, bacon butties for lunch and microwave pies with mashed potato or chips for dinner. Really now? Their reasoning for being unemployed is that "All that healthy food, like fruit and veg, is too expensive. We're fat because it's in our genes. Our whole family is overweight". Emma, one of the daughters, says, "I'm a student and don't have time to exercise". I beg to differ Emma.

I can spew an endless amount of profanities right now, but I will refrain myself. I am simply outrage by their lack of digity. They make excuses to live off taxpayers. They continue to eat unhealthy foods and refuse to exercise even though they are obsese and unemployed. The solution is extremely simple: get off your caboose and take a walk (even to the grocery store). There is one bright side I see in all this. At least the chances of there being a next generation of these idiots are low (heart disease anyone?). Would any sane man want to be with one of their daughters? They lack motivation, digity, and arguably intelligence.

Enough from me, what do you guys think?
