Obesity - A disability?

I hate the government telling us how to live and believe you should be allowed, smoke, drink, eat what you want without being taxed for it, but obese people claiming disability is a joke.

One woman (In Ireland) is suing an insurance company for charging her higher health insurance for being obese - apparantly it descriminates against the disabled.

Then this morning while running on the threadmill in the gym (hence, why I am not a fattie) I saw on UK news about a fat family claiming disability allowances for all of them.

I've nothing against somebody choosing to be fat, but wanting welfare for it makes me want to sell them off to some Japanese Fishermen for whale meat   :angry:

You chose to be fat, your not born with it, as in a disabled person

I think its a disgrace for someone obese to claim him/her self disabled :no

i'm by no means a small man i've played front row rugby all my life so you can guess to my size

but i have to say i agree with you people who think the world owes them everything because the can't stay out of the fridge ( again i have been to the fridge once or twice to many ) makes me sick i am not disabled because i carry a few extra pounds under my t shirt and nore would i ever think that it was the fault of someone else, that is just madness!! :angry:

at the end of the day they are the ones who eat to much or did not do any exercise ( i do by the way ) and they are to blame for them being in such bad health, and it is them who should take the blame, to claim money for being fat is just begger belief and it should not be aloud to happen  :no  :no

What about all the people who claim disability after injuring themselves on a treadmill. They choose to run on a treadmill they arn't born with it, as in a disabled person   :D

Seriously some of those Fat people are just fkn lazy, but some have mental problems or other medical conditions brought on by being overweight.

If we accept that we want freedom of choice we have to accept that people will do things that arn't necessarily good for their health.

Its the same with anorexics, either they get a job as a model or they get benefits. Yet because its seen as "not their fault" they receive sympathy, while some poor fat b@stard gets abuse and ridiculed.

yes there are people who have medical conditions and they are the exception to the rule but i think most people would know the difference between someone with a medical problem and someone who is just lazy

I got no sympathy for those who eat their way to obesity. This country spends a lot of money on doing emergency operations to staple stomaches of those who don't know when to stop.
My new blog for my upcoming holiday.
