This story doesn't fit the board's regular racists' agenda.

Such a good opportunity for posters to vent their hatred against the obese and against welfare recipients at the same time!

Oh, and yes, NicoDog! Then, there's FLORIDA: home of "Somebody needs to pay for all my kids!" 'Fertile Myrtle', aka Angel Adams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v921CaZYsow

Obese, for starters.

But that may be just one of her problems.

Is she in a "food desert."?

This is a common reason given in the US for overweight welfare recipients.

I love this excuse for being obese "she hasn’t been “educated” on how to exercise herself." Do you mean to tell me that she is so lazy that she can't educate herself? She complains about the cost of a gym membership or swimming pool fees? Last time I checked walking is free and an excellent way to burn calories.

I have no sympathy for her. She CHOOSES to buy junk food and sit on her rump all day. She deserves to be obese.
