A Little Exercise Goes A Long Way For Severely Obese

Not really.

But here is what matters:

"A little exercise goes a long way toward helping severely obese individuals improve their quality of life and complete important daily tasks, according to researchers at the Duke Diet and Fitness Center.

In a pre-program assessment where patients reported, on average, just under one hour of exercise per week, individuals who were more active reported better overall-quality of life. They also reported improvements in their ability to perform daily tasks as measured on a physical functioning scale.

'Things that many people take for granted like tying one's shoes, getting dressed, or simply moving around were easier for those who reported routine exercise,' says Martin Binks, Ph.D., research director at the Duke Diet and Fitness Center, a residential weight loss program at Duke University Medical Center. He presented the research, which included more than 1,200 participants, at the Obesity Society's annual scientific meeting in Phoenix AZ."

These pigs would rather be unable to tie shoes, get dressed or simply move around, than lose weight.

Pay for them and their diseases of choice?

No way.

"Other quality of life improvements associated with higher activity levels included the ability to complete basic daily tasks, such as getting up from chairs, using the stairs, dressing and undressing, and improved physical symptoms like feeling short of breath."

Let them stay seated, live on the ground floor, wear the same clothes over again and huff/puff if food is so important to them.

Or if living a life is so unimportant to them.

Either way, it is, and should remain, their problem.
