Almost all in the US are on SSDI. How cramming twinkies in your piehole is a "disability" is beyond me.

She's so young. How very sad. Even if she loses the weight, which seems unlikely, her body will never look the same.

If we stopped all monetary aid to anyone with a BMI over 25.5 we could probably reverse the deficit in a decade. Seriously. No medical, housing, food, nothing, they either have to be supported by their keepers, or get a job.
I remember being a starving college student with nothing but stale bread rolls and mustard in my refrigerator. The lady at the hummus shop would give me extra pita for free because she felt sorry for me. I can't imagine the excess you would have to go to , to become that large. Like, I love food but I can't even eat a whole entree. I went out to a fancy place and the guy was surprised I didn't order a salad. Dude, we are eating snails, and then a bunch of meat and potatoes and veggies. A salad would fill me up before I could enjoy the meats. I ended up taking half home.

Welfare should only let them buy milk, bread, and peanut butter. Maybe flour

At this point, politicians are pretty much trapped. Any legislation to curtail the obesity crisis would be met with outrage by the fat majority. So we keep feeding and repairing these things until Lord Beetus blesses them with a visit mid-chew. Look at how much rage was generated by a simple and sensible idea like taxing soda. There's also the obvious fact that trying to slim down the public would alienate our politicians corporate masters who want everyone to keep gobbling down their products. Since obesity has become tied to neo-feminism, attempting to regulate Tubby's waistline gets shouted down as misogyny.
The end game? Same as always. Keep the dog & pony show rolling along just as it is. When it comes to profit, the motto has always been "fuck the future, I'm getting mine baby!"

the government shouldn't give these landwhales money so they could keep eating an entire chinese buffet's stock
