If the current younger generation lived on the calories consumed by today's current pensioners through their lives and were as active as today's pensioners in their youth It would save the state including the NHS billions in treatment and benefits.
Today's people of working age who gorge themselves into the condition of unemployable obesity are the biggest problem.and drain on the state. At least today's pensioners worked most of their lives contributed their share into the national kitty and had the same proportion of their earnings deducted at source through their working lives, and who worked the whole of their lives.
Today's population suffering from self inflicted obesity and are unemployable will have contributed little or nothing into the kitty, but regard it their right for billions to be spent on treating their condition through the NHS and benefit payments. Forget today's pensioners who have paid their dues, the states biggest problem for the present and in the future is the large section of society who will be expected to be supported by the state because of their refusal or inability to control their calorie intake.
