Apparently, they cannot afford meat in Ohio.

There are a lot of people that eat carb heavy diets. Diet alone will not make you that fat. They obviously overeat, regardless of what it is they are eating.

They have probalby subsisted on processed foods their whole lives, meaning that they have always had huge amounts of calories, salt, and fat in their diet, because proccessed calories are very cheap. After all, in the US there is a clear corrolation between poverty and obesity.

At the same time these two must have some genetic predeposition towards putting on fat reserves. I am surprised these two aren't suffering diabetes yet, though heart disease and cancer will probably sneak up on them very soon.

As for walking, there is a serious sidewalk deficit in many parts of this country.

Didn't it ever occur to them to nip their problem in the bud before they reached that level of obesity...I mean they aren't just a little bit overweight, they are enormous! When I realised where I was going with my weight I completely overhauled my lifestyle otherwise I realised I was going to end up like that, becoming ill at a young age and, in all probability, not living past my 50s...

You can blame genetic predisposition all you like (it is one of the easiest scapegoats for obesity out there), but at the end of the day, genetics or not, you've still got to keep that fat off, you may just find it that little bit harder, but it still needs to be done. You know, I am quite stockily built but I worked hard to get the point where I am now where I can run 10km in under 50 minutes (and getting quicker and longer). No pain, no gain.

Maybe these beached whales could move somewhere closer to possible employers? Like inner city?

[Provost Harrison]

Let's be honest though, would you employ someone who looked like that? Not only for me not believing they have any self-control over what they eat, I'd be worried in case they ate their co-workers

Well, if they can't afford meat, then let them NOT eat cake .

if you have even a basic knowledge of cookery, then preparing healthy, nutritious food on a small budget is easy.

How can you not have a sidewalk in a street?

[Japher]

Our food budget is probably less than those two, and we prep all our food. However, as you get fat you also get lazy... and eventually it just becomes easier to complain about your current state than it is to make a change, or to get lapband surgery.

Apparently you've never seen large parts of the US I blame suburbanization for many of today's problems in the states.

One has a HS degree and the other doesn't even have that. Basic knowledge of many things is really the issue here. And I'd be willing to believe that accident she had 17 years ago is really just an excuse to not take any personal responsibility for her current life.

And yeah, pretty stupid to have a story concerning issues with lack of food accompaning that photo.

I think that Ohio needs to reform its subsidized housing. It seems to be doing more harm than good in places like Fostoria.

Even my small home town of 1,500 has subsidized housing, which is ridiculous.

I spend a huge amount on food, but then I don't know how to cook.
