Are the health issues these people are suffering directly related to their cronic obesity? If they were smokers with cancer they would be expected to stop smoking.

No posts? Obviously a very touchy subject. Someone in the paper the other day was complaining that smokers were being treated like lepers because smoking has become so socially unacceptable. If it shames a few more into giving up, then so be it. It is a filthy, smelly, expensive habit that few can truly afford and it is bad for their and everyone elses health and a drain on the NHS when they become ill. The same needs to happen for obese people. It should be unacceptable for people to be such a drain on their councils and the NHS. When these people are so huge they are housebound who continues to feed them the vast quantities of food they consume. It is nothing short of neglect that they are allowed to get worse. The authorities should step in and force them to diet, at the end of the day it would be for their own good.

There is'nt any-one that is going to post on these subjects,it would end up in a serious conflicted debate, involving probably half if not more of the uk population. It is silly to ask these kind of questions.Very touchy !!

[starone]

What puzzles me dotty, is where do they get the money to pay for the enormous amount of food they consume?

[giveup]

I do feel sorry for them,sometimes people just get into a vicious circle and get beyond help.

Thing is ...i believe that you can be addicted to food same as smoking or drugs and alcohol... You can attempt to quit those....but you cannot stop eating... You can cut back but you are still feeding an addiction- what a horrible experience it must be....awful.

Last nights Geordie Woman sat in bed with her arm out stretched while the carer washed it, when the carer left she got up and walked into the other room. I'm sorry but she could try to help herself.
