there's a whole lot of ineffective coping skills, codependency, enabling -familial especially, and mental illness that contributes to getting this overweight.
Many times there's sexual abuse and other trauma. I think the OP is misguided.

Have a real life hunger games. Had an uncle who was adopted. Weighed 400+ lbs, on oxygen, drank a case of beer a day and smoked two packs of cigs a day. Got hooked on Crack and dropped to 185 lbs. Was off oxygen and would use his disability check to to buy Crack and f and get high with black Crack whores. He is living the dream lol

So you are for welfare?

What’s interesting is the vitriol for someone who is hypothetically receiving a certain amount in benefits living a shite life versus someone who is not reporting a job that would result in the same amount of taxes. I would say that ratio is 25:1. Someone who illegally evaded 100k in taxes would be judged as negatively as someone who used $4000 in tax subsidies. Even then, it would be like” he did the crime, do the time.” Vs “this POS scumbag lowlife”

What’s the reasoning? Someone will always have to be the poorest. I get the hate for someone that is not contributing to society, and benefiting from it, and the concern for a system that enables it, but I think there is an irrationally proportioned hate for someone using subsidies. Maybe it’s just a worry of this population exploding and causing great damage to society? Does a tax evader get that much leeway because he may be a net contribution, what if he was it?

I am definitely okay with a safety net existing for normal people who have fallen on hard times. I would like a time limitation on it though. I’m also okay taking care of special needs individuals who don’t have family to help, and also, certain scenarios like a 75 yo grandma who is having to raise 4 grandkids because their mother/father are deadbeats. I am not okay taking care 20/30 something’s who eat their way out of the workforce.
