Sigh! We are such a sad country full of stupid, lazy and government dependent people that just can't stop sucking the titty. Get a job lady! And find a sidewalk and use it!

Above: Ever hear of an apple? Welfare Mom Briggs showing off her stellar food “choices”

by Jason DeWitt | Top Right News

A 350-pound British woman claims it’s not her fault she’s morbidly obese — it’s because the government doesn’t give her enough money.

Christina Briggs, 26, of Wigan, England, claims she can only eat fattening junk food — a whole lot of it — because healthier food is just too expensive for her “limited” welfare benefits, according to an interview in The Daily Mail.

How about exercising to lose weight? Out of the question Briggs says — gyms are just too pricey, and she hasn’t been “educated” on how to exercise herself.

“I tried swimming but it cost £22 [$36] a month and it meant I had to cut back on my favourite pizza and Chinese takeaways,” she said.

“It’s not my fault – healthy food is too expensive,” she added. Briggs stuffs her kids with PopTarts, chocolate fingers, chips, salsa, and Marshmellow Fluff, along with her fast food takeout. Apparently she’s never been “educated” about apples, bananas or grapes.

Briggs already receives a remarkable $36,000 a year from the government.

I'll admit, healthy food is more expensive than junk food.

But that cabinet of shit there would last a lot longer than a week if you weren't such a fat fuck.

“I tried swimming but it cost £22 [$36] a month and it meant I had to cut back on my favourite pizza and Chinese takeaways,”

PUT DOWN THE FORK, FATASS. Buy some ingredients with that money and cook something up. Hell, make some egg & cress sandwiches. £2 for a box of eggs, £1 for a loaf of bread, a pack of cress is like 25p. That shit'll last 2-3 days, something takeout won't.

Don't worry. Obamacare will take care of her, with your tax money.

Nope. She lives in England.

We have people just like her here also. Both countries governments love giving out other peoples money.
 
It's her life and her body, if she's trying to be overweight and unhealthy to prove a point, the only thing she's going to accomplish is health problems (that she might not be able to fix).
 
It's a shame and it's unfair that she's using the government's money because she is too unmotivated to educate herself on both 1) How to exercise, and 2) How to look for healthier foods that aren't as expensive as she thinks they are. This is purely her fault and the government needs to have penalties in place for those who reap the benefits of the system, but don't make an effort to utilize that aid to better their lives.
 
Her welfare check is equal to someone making 750 a week so I say she makes enough as I bet she has many things she pays for that she can live without to pay for her food as she simply doesn't want to give up anything and expects the government to give her more to cater to her lifestyle. If they did give her more money then she would still have this problem because she has no appreciation for the extra money as she earned none of it. You would be surprised at how much you can live without when you have to pay for it all yourself either through wages or credit/loans that you pay back. Perhaps the thing to do is to strip it all from her and force her to seek work and a way to make it on her own so she will be motivated to do so. It sounds cruel but I think the crueler thing to do is to keep her from receiving the motivation to work that would come from having needs that you need to care for yourself.

Perhaps all these social programs have made us unfeeling and uncaring about the sick, disabled and poor by letting us have a endless get out of responsibility cards by just assuming the government will do all the work so why bother helping? Makes you wonder how many might actually help one another if they didn't have any reason to believe the government would? I am not quite sure I would want to believe that but it's a thought to consider at the very least.

Not to worry the government will treat that also. She may be on a long wait list for treatment. And it may be rationed. But it will come out of the peoples wallets.

Communities did just fine helping each other before government came around to make it a means for power. Just communities did not make it a addiction they just helped you back on your feet and eventually said okay its time to do it on your own now.
