Philip Chawner, 53, and his 57-year-old wife Audrey weigh 24st. Their daughter Emma, 19, weighs 17st, while her older sister Samantha, 21, weighs 18st.

The family from Blackburn claim £22,508 a year in benefits, equivalent to the take-home pay from a £30,000 salary.

 

The Chawners, haven't worked in 11 years, claim their weight is a hereditary condition and the money they receive is insufficient to live on.

Mr Chawner said: "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."

The family claim to spend £50 a week on food and consume 3,000 calories each a day. The recommended maximum intake is 2,000 for women and 2,500 for men.

"We have cereal for breakfast, bacon butties for lunch and microwave pies with mashed potato or chips for dinner," Mrs Chawner told Closer magazine.

 

"All that healthy food, like fruit and veg, is too expensive. We're fat because it's in our genes. Our whole family is overweight," she added."

 

 

 

BNP poster material? :lol:

And another quote:

 

Emma, said: "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."

The humunculous got out of breath with the effort of singing a verse of a song!

 

Jesus.

If only she had the time to exercise, etc.

"It runs in the family. The girls were little when they were born. Sammy only weighed 5lb 11oz, tiny she was. Emma was only 7lb 4oz." :lol:

 

Also, since when has type 2 diabetes been an excuse not to work?

 

It's difficult to know how mischievous the journalist has been here but they deserve all they get for courting the publicity.

£1 a packet of steamed veg in asda, plus you can get cheap fruit and veg in any market or high street.

 

Healthy food in general is more expensive, but again, if you learn how to cook and buy the ingredients you'll find yourself saving a lot more, especially if you get some plastic tubs and freeze your leftovers and use it for e next day/week or so. Not many people can be arsed to do that, but you can still manage to eat healthier balanced meals by shopping at the right places. It's just finding that routine too.

 

If you've got parents like that though you've got no chance! I'm sure there would be plenty of weight management groups available to them, which they could get involved with for free through being referred via their GP. I think all in all a lot of people are becoming more aware, but the biggest battle is getting the parents involved with their kids to eat healthier otherwise it’s a losing battle, especially and unfortunately for the kids.

They know why they're fat but they're all in denial about it, basically.

It's pathetic that they use that excuse. I've worked with people to get more active who suffer with diabetes type 2. Obviously they have to watch what they are doing and monitor their blood sugar levels, but they are encouraged to exercise and be more active so there blood pressure comes down from being sky high never mind doing bollocks all. It won’t be long before they will all be suffering from coronary heart disease or have a heart attack the way they are going.

God knows what its going to take for them to release they must do something about it before its too late. They must have nicked those mirrors from the hoppings thinking they aren't gi-hippo-gantic...!

I meant they're in denial about why they're fat.
