I know more people than I care to mention who are on benefits. I used my family to show that I wasn't being prejudice and that I'll call a spade a spade no matter who it is. The area I'm originally from in West Yorkshire has a very high number of people on benefits. I grew up on a council estate where the main topic of conversation wasn't if there's any jobs available but how to get more money from the social.
Nearly every single person I've met who's claiming benefits smokes, drinks, eats crap, are fat and lazy. Yes I admit it would be wrong to tar every single person who's claiming benefits with the same brush, so I'll say 90%+ are as I described.
As the title of this thread is
McDonalds Vs fat gits with no willpower you give me the price of a family meal at McDonalds and I'll give you an healthy meal for less money. I've just been on Asda's online store site and you can pick up a great meal deal for
3 FOR £2.50 (stirfry vege's, noodles + sauce as one option) and chicken is cheap too, especially if you go for the
3 FOR £10 deal. Jesus, you can even buy
organic beef mince in the
2 FOR £5 deals.
Even if you're on a £20 a week food budget, there's no reason to eat shit and get fat. So the whole you can't eat healthy on a low income is for the majority, utter nonsense.
