The cost to taxpayers of people having bad lifestyles, is growing by the day.

Life Expectancy in the UK: England's richest people 'live eight years longer than the country's poorest' - Health News - Health & Families - The Independent

Costing the UK £47 billion a year, which will grow.

Costing the US £147 billion a year, which HAS grown.

This means others, like pensioners, cancer sufferers, invalids through no fault of their own. Get less.

Those images of people in motorised wheelchairs is interesting. Paid for by the user or family. Or paid for by tax payers?

65, registered invalid, 6 ft tall and I hit 84 kilos (184 pounds) this week. So drinking water instead of juice, cutting out butter, potatoes, fried food and trying to walk a little more. My weight will fall.

It only takes a little bit of will power.
