Family Too Fat To Work

You can be obese because of health problems----
or you can have health problems because you're obese.

Sounds like these folks fit in to the 2nd category! Perhaps if they wouldn't sit in front of the t.v. all day, and actually get up and do something, that they might be able to shed some weight. And I don't doubt that they can't find work. Not many employers are willing to take on the liability of grossly overweight people. They are unhealthy to start with, so obviously they will miss more time from work than their healthier counterparts, and if a company offers medical insurance (talking about U.S. companies), then they will also be using it more than the average employee. These people are just too much of a health risk for most employers to want to have in their work force. Sad, but true.

Perhaps these folks would benefit from some tech training, and the possibility of working at home. They should be able to do "something", rather than living off assistance.
