If you are too fat to shop without an electric cart.

Should the state be subdisizing your food purchases? How is this not common sense legislation.

Me and a buddy of mine get drunk, call an Uber. We go to the grocery store, each hop on one of those carts, and proceed to play Demolition Super Market Sweeps(tm).

Hunger used to be a great motivator for lazy people to find work. That's gone.

It is nuts to be honest. I watched a documentary one time about a morbidly obese dude that went on a 700+ day fast to lose the weight. If I remember correctly, he only consumed electrolytes and vitamins.

This isn’t hard. Until we eliminate safety nets that don’t allow failure, we guaranteed failure.

It's not an electric cart, but a motorized wheel barrow.

I see those carts which were originally for the elderly and handicapped being used by 30 something fatties. Meanwhile grandma hobbles around with her cane and shopping cart because she still has self worth.

There are, in fact, certain people with genetic disorders, such as hypothyroidism, Bardet-Biedl syndrome, Alstrom syndrome, and others with specific genetic mutations affecting metabolism and appetite. Prader-Willi Syndrome and Cushing's Syndrome are two more that caused excessive weight gain.
Not everyone is excessively fat from making poor dietary choices.

So why didn’t all those conditions exist 50-60 years ago?
Why are these conditions overwhelmingly more prevalent in the IS vs other countries?

Morbidly obese with an iphone yet getting SNAP.

Processed foods affect everyone differently.

All good questions. I can only suggest that contempt for fat people should be reserved for the truly gluttonous slobs who choose to regularly gorge themselves on bad fast foods and desserts and who eschew even marginal amounts of exercise.

And providing a blank check does nothing to help them become properly nourished.
Bring back the push to replace food stamps with MREs

It's an interesting question.
A good friend's mother-in-law is an example of where things went terribly wrong. She has always been overweight and lazy for her entire life. No glandular/thyroid problems. No pre-existing diabetic issues. She was just fat and lazy.
Well, being fat and lazy and getting fatter and lazier led to her husband divorcing her, leaving no income whatsoever other than enough alimony to pay the bills. He's a truck driver so he just gave her the house, already paid off. She applied for SNAP and the government approved it. She had no insurance any longer, but kept getting fatter and fatter to the point that this woman is legit 650 pounds and actually ended up causing herself major weight-related health issues, more than enough that she now qualifies for Medicare/Medicaid.
Governmental enablement. Gotta love that, right?
She's got plenty of family that enable her too, though. I'm all in favor of drastically limiting the purchase power of SNAP benefits to only include healthy fruits and vegetables, milk, flour, bread, etc. and completely end the purchase power to buy pop tarts, sugary cereals, Dr. Pepper, Hostess snacky cakes, Doritos and all the other unhealthy bullshite. If that happened, people like her would just get her family to buy her all the unhealthy foods in exchange for usage of her SNAP card for themselves.
I really don't know what can be done about stuff like that. You have someone that was once just overweight and lazy, who kept being overweight and lazy and eating so much that she eventually created her own gravity/orbit field and catalyzed legitimate disabilities on purpose.

I can make an exception for someone who has a genuine medical problem, but all too often you see someone in a scooter piling cakes, cookies, and junk food into their basket for checkout with their fatty kids in tow.
And while I’m at it….revoke the handicap tags of these fricks who pull up and hop out of their vehicle to waddle into the store.
