A family which is so obese that they cannot work has convinced the government to pay them the equivalent of a substantial salary in benefits; not satisfied, they demand even more, saying “We deserve more”, and claiming that “All that healthy food is too expensive.”
The Chawner family claims £22,500 ($33,000, or $45,000 prior to the UK’s recent economic collapse) annually in benefits, having lived off state handouts without working for 11 years.
Still, even this is not enough and they demand more:
“What we get barely covers the bills and puts food on the table. It’s not our fault we can’t work. We deserve more.”
The family:
From left to right, daughter Emma (19) weighs 107kg, mother Audrey (57) and father Philip (53) each weigh 157kg, and eldest daughter Samantha (21) weighs in at 114kg.
In total, the family comes in at some 525kg.
The gargantuan clan claim economic hardship forces them to eat vast quantities of unhealthy food, whilst advancing the contradictory claim that they are suffering a genetic condition:
“All that healthy food, like fruit and veg, is too expensive. We’re fat because it’s in our genes. Our whole family is overweight.”
Their diet, coming to 3,000 calories a day each, much more than the usual recommended maximums, leaves little doubt as to how they attained their exaggerated girth:
“We have cereal for breakfast, bacon butties for lunch and microwave pies with mashed potato or chips for dinner.”
Their benefits come in the form of “Jobseeker’s Allowance” (unemployment benefit), income support and “incapacity benefit”, as well as a disability allowance for Mrs Chawner’s asthma and epilepsy, a result of her weight. Additional money for conditions such as heart disease and diabetes top off the largesse.
Emma excuses herself with the claim that she is too busy training to be a hairdresser to exercise, and then pleas ignorance:
“I’m a student and don’t have time to exercise; we all want to lose weight to stop the abuse we get in the street, but we don’t know how.”
Via Gigazine.
Possibly a similar genetic condition afflicts a certain comedy idol…

They should be put in work camps or deported to Haiti - they'll lose weight fast then! Guaranteed to work.
Failing that, have them rendered into valuable oil like what they used to do with whales.
If they had trouble affording food, they'd be eating less and getting thin. This is also a guaranteed-effective weight loss technique.
I have absolutely no pity or sympathy whatsoever.
The government should just put off these fat pigs with a bolt pistol and then send their meat to Africa. Could probably feed an entire village for a week.
yep, come to think of it, most them are getting fat, while in the other part of the world, everybody seems to be getting more skinnier (I might be one of those)...
Maybe the government is fattening them up before doing that.
While the UK government should intervene directly and personally see to it that they either find jobs, have liposuction surgery, or survive on the pension they already receive and get so fat that they die, "killing them and selling the meat" is pretty stupid. Why don't you go volunteer to be put through the slaughterhouse process and have your parts sold as Choice Cuts, Narcissist, if you believe marketing human meat is the answer to starvation? Your disregard for human life is disgusting.
Hmm...labor camps should make a comeback...lose weight, free labor...it is perfect!
fuck that... we could sell them to a glue factory
Anonwhotreasuresworthlesslife: You do not seem to understand. I do not disregard human life. I only disregard what I do not consider worthy to be called a human together with me. :)
+1
Lazy sacks of shit. I've seen fatter.
Jabba The Hudd worked too, and he is as fat as the four togheter!
wtf....i respect them...
Stop stealing my money, lazy fat fucks.
How about star in BBW porn?
Or sent to exile in Zimbabwe? They'd slim down pretty fast, and when they ask for more, the government will send troops to their house and asswhip them Kalashnikov.
woots to that, a 3 way with enuff meat to make 6 chicks sweet
I used to be 85kg in my teenage days later slimmed down to 75kg in my 20ties.Well the secret is to control diet and exercise regularly.
And still, chicks won't go out with you.
MORE IN 2MORROWS NEWS: family dies of a simultaneous heart attack unable to work now B*tches!
and on a totally different note...
that picture of miku completely shattered my image of her T^T.....whyyyy~~~
epic fail.. *dies of simultaneous heart attackS... *
Surely this is the work of Kira.
Evidently, being fat is now a crime.
when you take it as an excuse to whine about the fact that the country should pay for your fat ass, yes.
It is truly the most awesome Miku ever invented...
After all, she landed with a mindset-shattering kaboom!
It seems some of them have 3 stomachs. I'm basing this off the pic solely of course.
.. Yeah .. um.. wtf??
Truly pathetic.
It's no wonder they are so fat; they just don't have the willpower to stop eating all that junk. Bacon butties for lunch?? Microwave pies with mashed potato or CHIPS for DINNER????... 3000 calories?? It's not impossible to cut back on. They can always get those surgeries to modify their GI tracts... like the one where they connect your esophagus directly to your small intestines. Or whatever help them from eating so much.
Just because they lack willpower to do something about their condition doesn't mean the rest of the taxpayers have to pay for something like that. They look like they will be able to reconnect with society after they slim down. Homeless people on the other hand are harder... so they can be forgiven. This? I won't take it.
What is so weird about having chips for dinner? This being UK chips, aka fries to you Americans, I believe.
I resent that! British chips are vastly superior to American fries.
2nd as for the fat fucks liveing of our tax monies... i think the harpoon guns need to come out.. get the fuckers exersied and then get them working no excues
Hehehehe harpoon guns. Reminds me of Moby Dick.
Oh, and I totally missed the part about it being in the UK = ="... thought it was in the US, because that's where most of the fat people are. Doesn't make much of a difference though (if not worse). Chips have very high caloric and fat content compared to other methods of preparation for potatoes. And everyday too, think about it.
Contrary to popular belief, as an American, I rarely have fries for dinner on a consistent basis.
Something that has been slaughtered, on the other hand.
"We’re fat because it’s in our genes"
fatman always blame it on genes.
Like Eric Cartman says "I'm no fat! I'm big bone!"
First of all they do, but they do not even fkn try to change it...
-all the veges are too expensive :'(
yeah get a bag of apple at 3$ instead of a bag of chip at 2$ you'll see the apple will last twice as long and wont kill you in the long end Fuckos
I'm sure those English people read your comment here, on this thread, and found your advice useful.
No, they are to fat to use a computer. Ops, wait, you can do that.

Actually, vegetables and the like are really cheap, much cheaper than unhealthy food. I actually don't eat a lot snacks because they're just expensive.
yes... this truly does make me lose hope in humanity
this is so pathetic i dont even know what to say
but if i had a gun and them infront of me
id fuckin kill them
like seriously what happened to the good old days? work hard and live life! now days all i see are slackasses and low lives... some fucking aliens have to come and wipe us out shit! humanity is fucked already someone please put us out of our misery!
Obese people are not human
They could make money in a freak circus.
OMG!!! THE MOTHER HAS FOUR BOOBS!!!!
using their phail to gain phail money = =
srsly.. bacon for lunch, mash potatos for dinner? where the freaking salad?!?
so we worked hard, pay tax, just to support fcukin lazy families like this, corruptors, etc
I counted six...
Some of the statements by the family are kind of correct. The cheapest food is in fact the least healthy food, and that's true everywhere.
But, they seem to be drawn to that unhealthy food just to keep their benefits, and that is plain disgusting. They aren't making any sort of effort to lose weight, or like, get a job, at all.
The worst part, for me at least, is that they have pushed their daughters down the same path they chose, and the girls probably aren't going to live past 30. When I first saw the topic, I was almost sure this story was from America. Quite surprised it was from another country for once.
The UK is the most obese nation in Europe. It is like the US in most respects, only done shoddily and with most of the charm and scale removed.
But with a decent grasp of self-deprecating humour added to make up for it.
In many cases it is a stretch to call it deprecatory.
Touché.
"The cheapest food is in fact the least healthy food, and that’s true everywhere."
Not in Brazil.
And in Portugal.
And in Switzerland, for that matter.
And in every single developing nation.
I'll disagree.
Watermelons cost less than ice cream when you do the following formula.
Price/Volume
You'll even find out that it's cheaper to just eat less than to buy weight loss pills.
Theres rice.
300 Grams of rice would last me the entire day.
You can buy a 10,000 gram bag for about $6~10.
That bag alone can last me more than a month.
To think that when I was little, I hated eating rice with everything. Now, I eat at least 100 grams of rice a day out of pure habit, and I don't plan on breaking it.
yay for habits
Your rice seems pretty cheap.
Cheapest food is the least healthy food?
You've got a lot to learn still for spouting such utter bullshit.
Either that or you just don't know WHERE to go grocery shopping, and HOW to judge the healthyness of food.
