350 pound woman blames the british government for being obese and ugly

[check two]

Christina Briggs is 26 years old and weighs in at 25 stone, which is equivalent in the U.S. to 350 pounds. Briggs has a problem, but not just with eating. She also has beef (pun intended) with the British government, which she holds accountable for her excessive girth.


She told the British magazine Closer:

I hate being overweight but it’s not my fault — healthy food is too expensive. A bag of apples costs the same as a multipack of crisps, but I can’t afford both.

I know I’m putting my health at risk, but I like having a takeaway at the weekends and the kids enjoy trips to McDonald's. My rent is covered by my benefits, but by the time I pay my £200 bills I’m left with hardly any cash as I have to buy the children books, clothes and nappies. I struggle to afford healthy food.

I need more benefits to eat healthily and exercise and it would be good if the government offered a cash incentive for me to lose weight. I’d like to get £1 for every pound I lose. If the price of healthy food was lowered that would help too. I need help, but I need it from the government.

Briggs claims she can't afford to join a gym, and obviously she is familiar with the law prohibiting exercising at home. She is currently unemployed and receiving more than $32,000 in annual benefits from the government.

It seems to me that the solution to her problem is simple. She should relocate to the U.S. while Barack Obama is still in office. If his actions to date are any indication, it would be his privilege to make her another ward of the state.

lmao, read this story. Everything in her cupboard though is all branded stuff and she could easily buy healthy food for the price she would have paid for all that over here!

The cash incentive is also a joke saying it would motivate her to lose weight, she obviously values £1 from the government more than her kids, they should be motivation enough. Stupid attention whore!

She gets $32,000 worth of free benefits a year? Also, why isn't she allowed to exercise at home? If she lives in an apartment, I could see how they wouldn't want her doing jumping jacks or something like that, if someone lives below her. Though you think she could do other types of exercises.

Please slaughter and feed to the dogs. Thank you.

smh, there's probably about £20 worth of food in pic shot alone, and it's all non-essential food. lol @ buying McDonalds and takeaways and complaining about having no money.

This is like a story from one of those dentist waiting room magazines.

Yep welcome to England a land where you earn more for not working than actually working.

Food ain't that expensive, yes compared to other European nations Britain can be a little pricy but you can easily eat healthy if your on a budget no problem, £32k is good enough she can easily afford it. The issue here is that to eat healthy you gotta actually prepare and cook the food, which most people can't be fucked to do which seems to be the case here. English people don't cook, they aint got that in their culture. Its all ready made easy crap.

Cooking and preparing healthy food takes time, but people just don't have much time anymore. Not this bitch obviously because she has lots of free time but just in general, if you're working the day you're up early in the morning coming home at night tired and shit so people don't want to spend limited time cooking food instead watching TV or playing games for "entertainment"

I can't believe there is an anti exercise at home law lol wtf

[hashashin]

lol, there's nothing to stop her exercising at home, she's just being an idiot! Even if there was such a law she could still go outside for a walk/run. She could probably even lose weight eating junk food but she's obviously just eating way too much of it

[The Hound]

Ahaha I read it again and it seems like that line was a piss take, I thought fuck how could you possibly police that law LOL but hey one day there probably will be a law against exercising at home

I bet you through all of the junk food she eats she drinks a shit load of coca cola to go with it, that's the worst of the worst

I don't buy the whole 'people don't got time' BS.
Most of us could have cook a full blown meal with the time we invest in porno, social media, and making excuses.

We're no more busy today than we were in the 1800s. In fact, we probably all have less to do than our predecessors. We're just not as good at budgeting out time and energy.

[The Hound]

Because when people spend 12-14 hours a day doing work related shit they finally come home and decide on what to do with their little time left before bed - watch TV, play video games, read a book, have sex etc it all takes preference over a healthy diet. It's easy to stick a pie in the oven than it is to spend 30 minutes preparing then another 20-30 minutes cooking it.

12 hr shifts are a bitch, but that's literally how long people used to spend on the farm (sun up sun down). Of course they had a slaved about main bitch whipping family recipies in the kitchen, but she even had 12 hrs of non-cooking related duties. We have less ability to budget our time, more distractions, and to many options that make cooking a secondary priority. Most people don't want to cook cause even after cooking you have to wash dishes and deal with odors etc.

Yeah it's all time management and for some reason people today feel the need to be "entertained" so they put that before being healthy. If it comes down to spending an hour watching television or an hour preparing and cooking a healthy meal I would say most western people would spend it watching television. I mean, the part about apples cost the same as a bag of chips is just fucking stupid logic to justify being unhealthy LOL

That's 12 hours of being at work, then there's getting up in the morning and getting ready for work, commuting to work, commuting home from work. Working 12 hours on the farm that you live at isn't the same as working 12 hours at the factory you live an hour away from. But back then on the farm if you didn't cook your food you weren't going to eat either, you couldn't just go up the road and get take away or eat at a restaurant.

Healthy food costs more than junk food does on first glance but you can sustain it longer. It might cost $10 for a fatty burger meal or $20 for 5 steaks but then if you eat the burger meal 5 times in the week you've paid $50 but the steaks only cost you $20. Junk food is a short term saving but in the long run people like this woman end up spending more on this shit but they're too dumb to realise it lol

It's all excuse for not being healthy. Just come out and say fuck healthy living I'll eat what I want lol
