I understand how you feel. A fellow student at school is very overweight, at about 400 pounds. He is unemployed and on disability because of his weight. He also gets food stamps. I applied for food stamps, too. But because I worked 12 hours a week, I was rejected. Working a low-paying job at a restaurant doesn’t cover all my expenses: my car note, insurance, gas, food, books for school, or food for my dogs. Yet this guy who couldn’t control his eating habits lives it up on taxpayer dollars. I understand some people gain weight from certain medications or medical reasons. Those people are in a different category. However, it makes me so ****ing mad to see people like your neighbor and this guy I go to school with get easy access to things that some others are more deserving of. I think we should strive toward eating healthy. In a way, our society is trying to do that. There are many diets out. Many fast-food places are trying to compromise with consumers by coming out with foods for people on diets. People with weight problems should realize they need help. It’s probably easier said than done, but admitting you have a problem is a start. However, until some people realize they have a problem with eating and do something about it, our society is going to continue to have people like your neighbor.
