Like maybe some health classes, and things like that..or maybe a shock collar that goes off whenever they start to drool at the thought of french fries and double meat cheesburgers..JK. Seriously though something could be set in place to help get them on the right track, and help them regain control over their life. If they refuse then they could seek help somewhere other than the government. If they're not wanting government help then honestly I dont care what they look like or want to eat. Be fat all you want to be fat if thats what makes ya happy, but dont do it to the extent that your a burden on the tax payers. Or get mad whenever someone makes fat jokes and start to cry about something you can easily fix yourself. It doesnt take smarts or talent or cost any money to be self motivated to lose weight so spare me the excuses.

wow some of you have it so far off base it's not even funny.
People with disabilities that are trying to get their claims pushed through have to jump through so many hoops that it takes forever for them to get it. It's not something that is taken lightly and just handed out to any and everyone. My old roommate had this problem with his back that prevented him from working but it was an odd rare case that hasn't been documented before so they kept sending him to different doctors for different opinions. The case that he had took about 3 years before he could get disability.
I highly doubt they are just giving away disability to obese people because they lack self control to stop from eating fast food. If in some rare case that someone gets disability for being obese you bet it will be because of some medical condition associated with it for example a thyroid problem/condition or something similar.
