Family: We’re too fat to work

Get ready to be mad!

An entire family in Great Britain says it is “too fat to work.”

The Chawner family’s four members weigh a total of 1,162 pounds.

Father Philip, 53, says: “What we get barely covers the bills and puts food on the table. It’s not our fault we can’t work. We deserve more.”

They receive $32,000 in government aid annually and are requesting more, according to Telegraph.

They eat bacon, pies, cereal and potatoes and say healthy food is “too expensive.” Each says their weight is a hereditary condition. (Well, they are related!)

Audrey Chawner, 57, has asthma and epilepsy, both of which are due to obesity. Mr. Chawner has a heart condition and type-2 diabetes.

The couple’s two daughters, Samantha, 21, and Emma, 19, weigh 238 and 252 pounds. Samantha receives unemployment money. Emma, however, is working to be a hairdresser and receives educational aid. Well, at least she’s trying.

Not so fast.

“I’m a student and don’t have time to exercise” she said “We all want to lose weight to stop the abuse we get in the street, but we don’t know how.”

All men delusion, but not equally. Those who day-dream by means of night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the heyday to find that it was swell-headedness: but the dreamers of the day are rickety men, because they may act on their dreams with problematic eyes, to create them possible.
