A British obese mother-daughter duo are getting 34,000 pounds annually as handouts as they are too fat to work.
Janice Manzur, 44, and her daughter Amber, 25, weigh a total of 43 stone (274 kg) and they feel they'd rather be happy and on benefits of USD 51,000 than depressed and thin.
"There's no point in dieting, it doesn't make a difference. I have always been big and I'm too fat to work, so I have a genuine disability. I should be miserable but I'm happy. I know this is the way I'm meant to be," said Janice who weighs 26 stone (165 kg).
"I can't beat myself up that Amber is fat too," she said.
"My daughter has never stepped foot in the gym and never will.It won't change her weight as she is born to be fat," Janice was quoted by The Telegraph.
They both are so overweight that they have to use mobility scooters as their weight means to get around, it said.
She prefers eating junk food or ready-made meals because it costs pounds 1 for a pasta ready meal, so why bother spending money on ingredients to cook?
I do like fruit, but it's expensive.It's pounds 1.50 for a punnet of grapes. A chocolate bar costs 50p and I can get a six-pack of crisps for pounds 1, so I buy those instead.
"Convenience food is cheaper. I buy paper plates too, so I don't have to wash up," it said.
Both of them live in a three-bedroom house that has been customised by the council to accommodate their disability and drive a Fiat Quibo disability car worth around pounds 15,000.
