Re: JOBLESS Woman using 35k of tax payers money to lose weight!Haha I love that headline. Just imagine how fun it would be to come up with headlines for The Sun!(Original post by ROYP)

Re: JOBLESS Woman using 35k of tax payers money to lose weight!I get the gastric band because i can imagine being 38st caused immediate danger to her health but riddle me this. Now she is 20st and tbh I've seen people who look fatter than her working so why are the NHS funding a seemingly non essential operation? Does she have some kind of other medical condition that makes her being obese immediately dangerous?
Don't really know how the NHS works but i would have thought non essential operations (such as liposuction if the person isn't dangerously overweight) are not funded by the tax payer? can anyone clarify?Last edited by Darth Stewie; 12-04-2012 at 02:23. -

Re: JOBLESS Woman using 35k of tax payers money to lose weight!The NHS has far worse concerns than this.
Diabetes costs the NHS £1,000,000 an HOUR. A lot of this is down to people developing diabetes through being obese. these are the articles the media should be reporting, ones that show the real finanical cost of obesity. -

Re: JOBLESS Woman using 35k of tax payers money to lose weight!I get it's The Sun and all that so it's probably hyped up to the balls, but nothing annoys me more than fat people who can't take responsibility for making themselves fat, also where the hell are people getting the idea that healthy food is expensive from? As far as I've noticed, unhealthy food is a hell of a lot more expensive.
Everybody gets cravings for unhealthy foods, that doesn't mean you should give in to them every single time

Re: JOBLESS Woman using 35k of tax payers money to lose weight!I don't know much about medical phenomena of this context. I can kind of understand the gastric bypass but don't understand the point of the rest
What I'm more concerned about is:
1) why is the NHS allowing the rest to happen?
2) why does it cost so much?
With all this happening, isn't just doing lipo easier and cheaper? -

Re: JOBLESS Woman using 35k of tax payers money to lose weight!I would have thought the healthy alternative would have been more expensive? Or are you talking about making your food yourself from scratch?(Original post by Heavenly_Blues)

Saw a documentary about a slum full of fat people somewhere in the Americas, was quite surprised.Last edited by Dmon1Unlimited; 12-04-2012 at 03:59. -

Re: JOBLESS Woman using 35k of tax payers money to lose weight!I'm talking about scratch, but even making most things from scratch doesn't really take that long.(Original post by Dmon1Unlimited)
