Big people, small salaries.


Recent survey by YouGov revealed that the majority of obese people earn less than a mere £20,000 a year, which is hardly the national average. Some of them mentioned that their weight had held them back not only professionally, but also during their leisure time. The situation could sooner or later collapse if this subject is not taken seriously in the future. Obese people have less control over their job, leading to an additional amount of stress. As a result their income drops, leaving them with cheaper and unhealthier food. Governmental intervention is inevitable in order to stop this cycle of poverty.
