I'm not rich here, i have to live on benefit and i can tell you this, preparing and coking food myself is far cheaper than daily fast food runs.

EDIT to add: If I am not mistaken as to the sort of meat product you are talking about, that stuff is terrible for you.
I think you're looking for excuses to make eating badly ok, or to excuse the obese.
Maybe poor people do eat badly, but maybe that's because of the way they're raised.
Does eating badly make you poor or does being poor make you eat badly?

I think you are ignoring the real reasons why people have suddenly become so obese in the last twenty years, because it is easier just to blame them instead of society as a whole.
Fat people don't need excuses, they nead real answers to the problems.

Yes, there is truth in what you say here. But did the parents really intend to raise their children poorly, or were they simply too busy working all the time? And in the end, are you willing to punish someone through taxation, because they were not raised properly?

Great while were at it, let's give out more free weekly welfare payments to job dodgers, let's give drug addicts more lenient sentences (after it's not their fault their addicted) and let's found a national Obesity Day where everyone helps care for and feed one obese person.
Just create a whole Welfare State catering to the needs of those who want to leech off others because of their own self-inflicted problems.

Im sorry but it SHOULD be looked down upon being obese. What is this world coming to when people are proud that they are 100+ lbs overweight?
