Meanwhile in other obese related news, York City Tory Councillor Chris Steward thinks he has the answer to poor people who grow fat while scrounging on the dole at everyone elses expense - ban food banks which only exist because lazy poor people can't budget properly and prefer to spend all of their benefits on booze and fags. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/01/03/tory-councillor-chris-steward-food-banks-criticised_n_2402631.html?1357231646&utm_hp_ref=uk

It seems like every local council has to have a quota of idiots with a mouth and just sufficient brain cells to operate it without stopping to think what it is they are saying, congratulations to Chris Steward for getting the "idiot with no thought process" award in York.

Glad to hear you're on the mend. Hope Molly is back to enjoying longer walks on those beautiful Cornish beaches.

I've had a lot of muscle wastage especially on my legs, but I have to be very careful with what and how I use equipment which is why I wouldn't go to any old gym, it would have to have the right sort of equipment and a trainer that knows exactly what my limits were for my condition.

Having just been to ASDA and got a shop in, I am surprised anyone can be fat on long term benefits.

Exercise on prescription is a good initiative and I know a lot of clients with mental health problems have benefited from this, for varying reasons including social inclusion.
I understand the Government wanting to reduce the problem of obesity as obese related illnesses are costing a fortune to treat and individuals do pose some serious health risks, however what about individuals who are underweight, they are also at risk
I do not consider threats will help individuals to address obesity problems.I think the Governmen need to invest in education and support networks, they need to consider that obese individuals may have underlying psychological issues and exercise alone and reducing benefits may not be enough to address the issue.

Iceland or Aldi / Lidl.

You can pick up microwave meals for a quid. Some of them actually taste ok.

I keep a few of them in the freezer at work. Good for when working late nights.

I think the taste is monosodium glutamate rather than anything else. I must admit that on the odd occasion I have shopped in these stores we have had some good quality stuff (especially fruit and veg), but geographically ASDA is closest.

Any initiative that encourages people to lose weight should be welcomed. I was back in Hull over Christmas and the amount of porkers was shocking.

I'd agree. But this most assuredly isn't an initiative that encourages people to lose weight, it's an initiative that threatens and bullies people into losing weight.
