My husband is from the UK, I just sent him the article and he went on a rant about how much cheaper fresh food is in the UK compared to the cost of junk food and take away (take-out). PLUS...it's the UK, you don't need a gym membership! There are soooo many things you can do to get exercise it's ridiculous, you're not limited to an outdoor run. Ugh.0

It costs nothing extra to eat at a caloric deficit. In fact, it costs less than eating at a caloric surplus.0

Plenty of money for tats and jewels though.0

That won't help. She'll just find people to message all day.0 -

Meh... it's the Daily Mail... isn't that the equivelant to the New York Post?0

in the UK you can get gym membership on prescription from your doctor so you dont have to pay!0 -

Oh I know, it's part of NHS! Gym memberships are for health, therefore covered by their healthcare system, as are many cosmetic procedures. She could probably get free liposuction to get her started and "motivated", but we can all tell it's not being healthy that she's looking for, it's more money.0 -

THIS... plus that nasty hair color... and.. she cannot afford the gym because she would have to give up on some of her favorite pizza and chinese food? Are you flippin kidding me?!?!?0 -
Speaking as someone form the UK, we aren't all like her.0

Speaking as someone from the UK, be VERY WARY of the Daily Mail. They're hate-mongers, a bit like Fox News but British. Urgh. They have most likely twisted everything and lied outright.0

'I tried swimming but it cost £22 a month and it meant I had to cut back on my favourite pizza and Chinese takeaways.'
Lol....0 -
Uhhhh this is disgusting lol0

I was dismayed but not shocked by this article - unfortunately there are many out there who will use any reason to blame others for their weight gain. I think I was much more disgusted by the fact that her daughter has ADHD and kidney problems - a good diet can help reduce symptoms of ADHD and I dread to think what the diet high in salt and fat will be doing to her daughters kidneys.0

no job, 2 kids, makes sense. she's probably pregnant with another on the way0

Pretty sure when I was a broke student, I barely ate anything. Not binge on junk food and fast food.0

No we don't get free liposuction or other cosmetic surgery on the NHS and although we don't have to pay we do have to wait - imagine waiting 3 months for a heart bypass?0 -
ALSO you don't have to pay loads to exercise. There's walking, running or even exercise videos on youtube.0

I have known several individuals who have received cosmetic surgery via NHS...including my husband :ohwell:, plus...I rather wait 3 months for a bypass than depend on the US system (prior to the ACA) of "go bankrupt while trying to get treatment"0
