110000 Super Lardies drain NHS of £450 million

[Dedworth]

A new generation of mega-fat Brits is costing the NHS more than £450million a year.

Experts say there are now around 110,000 “super obese” people in England.

And the bill for treating them is running at over THREE TIMES that for a normal-sized patient.

This is the area of nursing work that my daughter specialises in, along with the malnourished.

Bring back National Service ! :xxaction-smiley-047


I took one of my rare trips into York city centre today.
Walking around I felt a bit self-conscious, being my age and not walking with a waddle, a limp or a walking stick and actually managing to overtake the occasional younger person, dodge around obstacles etc.

Nowadays the streets seem more reminiscent of hospital exercise yards. :NoNo:

The British shameless society. :NoNo:

I'm sorry, but in a world where some people don't have enough to eat, that is sickening. It's a mental illness though, it has to be :NoNo:

No excuses, they're just gluttonous slobs living in a society where people are lucky enough to be able to over-indulge themselves to such a degree.

Presumably the rest of us have been paying for the junk they've been shovelling down their throats for lord knows how long, as there can't be many jobs going as human bouncy castles. :rolleyes:

It's no different from paying somebody to smoke 60 cigs a day IMO.

Spot on :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Another prime example of the wasters that are bleeding this country dry.

There was no super obesity in days gone by because society wasn't stupid enough to pay these gits to shovel sh1t down their gluttoneous throats
