As an overweight person this annoyed the daylights out of me. At my heaviest I was 345 pounds, active and working. I now weigh 285 (last time I checked), work out at least every other day and eat pretty healthy. I work a very physical job on a psych unit and would never think about asking for a handout. They just need to walk around the block a couple times a day and that would make a surprising difference.
