Gruel would be cruel.
But rice would be nice.
Just look at the Chinese.

Ok, let's run with her complaint. Let start giving them bricks of cheese and canned food instead of food stamps that can be squandered on junk food.

This woman is an irresponsible fool, which is why she's on welfare to begin with. On the other hand, she looks able enough to work. Why is she getting government assistance? Just because it's there?

I thought you were a USA'er, so why do you want to give UK Welfare recipients blocks of cheese and canned food?

LOL - Same problem in USA.
  • Head to any urban Walmart after the EBT cards are charged back up for the month.
  • Herds of cattle (all races & both genders) head there to shop. - [No offense meant to real bovines.]
  • They will try to park in the disabled spaces so they don't have to walk. Others troll lot for close in spaces while completely ignoring anything else.
  • All battery operated carts instantly gone.
  • Don't stand in way or you get run down.
However any Walmart like this has one complete safe zone from fall the high tonnage mayhem.
  • Just head to the Fresh Fruits & Vegetables section. No fatties to be found anywhere.

She needs to be in some in-patient facility where they can monitor her meals and get her on an exercise program so she can lose the weight.

You want to pay for that? Be honest.

I'm in the United States so I wouldn't be paying for it in her case.

Even if she went voluntarily, how long would the weight stay off once she got back out?

(Trishguard) But let's say it was here, would you be ok with a portion of your income paying for that?

Ain't that the truth, it's so persistent in society that there was a South Park episode about it.

Hamplanets should not get handicap parking just for being obese much less disability payments.
