I guess I'm pretty dense. In your original post you said somthing about socialism or welfare and the phrase "lose the weight and return to work." I interpreted that to mean that if you're going to harm yourself, the State should not help pay for it.

I actually knew a fellow who got SSI for being too fat, more or less. He was pretty paranoid over it and couldn't leave the house, but he was definitely not mentally ill enough to receive public assistance.
