Philip Chawner, 53, and his 57-year-old wife Audrey weigh 24st. Their daughter Emma, 19, weighs 17st, while her older sister Samantha, 21, weighs 18st.
The family from Blackburn claim £22,508 a year in benefits, equivalent to the take-home pay from a £30,000 salary.
The Chawners, haven't worked in 11 years, claim their weight is a hereditary condition and the money they receive is insufficient to live on.
Mr Chawner said: "What we get barely covers the bills and puts food on the table. It's not our fault we can't work. We deserve more."
The family claim to spend £50 a week on food and consume 3,000 calories each a day. The recommended maximum intake is 2,000 for women and 2,500 for men.
"We have cereal for breakfast, bacon butties for lunch and microwave pies with mashed potato or chips for dinner," Mrs Chawner told Closer magazine.
"All that healthy food, like fruit and veg, is too expensive. We're fat because it's in our genes. Our whole family is overweight," she added.
Each week, Mr and Mrs Chawner, who have been married for 23 years, receive £177 in income support and incapacity benefit. Mrs Chawner is paid an extra £330-a-month disability allowance for epilepsy and asthma, both a result of being overweight.
Mr Chawner gets £71 a month after developing Type 2 diabetes because of his size. He was on a waiting list for a gastric band last year, but a heart condition made the operation unsuitable. Their daughter Samantha receives £84 in Jobseekers' Allowance each fortnight while Emma, who is training to be a hairdresser, gets £58 every two weeks under a hardship fund for low-income students.
Emma, said: "I'm a student and don't have time to exercise" she said "We all want to lose weight to stop the abuse we get in the street, but we don't know how."

i would be happy with bans of unhealthy ingredients in food, well, hfcs specifically

I go to the Wal Mart. They don't even speak english there!
now i go to some long-haired bad-ass guy who has all these classic rock vinyls and plays guitar when waiting for customers. he doesn't talk at all during haircuts, and i wish he would.
wtf? Since when has Wal-Mart had haircuts? I don't recall ever seeing that before.
There are no wal-marts where I live, I live in some librul utopia town that banned wal-mart so it doesn't even matter. But I am curious if it was some new thing because I never saw them at wal-mart's when I was a kid.wtf? Since when has Wal-Mart had haircuts? I don't recall ever seeing that before.
Would you get a wal-mart haircut?

not sure how his does it, but the Wal-Mart where I live has a small salon inside where about 3-4 people could get a haircut if they wished.
Yeah, I've seen those. McDonalds and Pizza places and stuff. Even eye glass stores. But never haircuts, weird. I guess it's been around in stores a while then.wtf? Since when has Wal-Mart had haircuts? I don't recall ever seeing that before.
I don't think it's associated with Wal Mart. It's in the building but I think it's independent. Like when you see Mc Donalds in Wal Marts.
I go to Wal Mart to get holiday/birthday cards, that's about it. It's not far from my mouselol
i would be happy with bans of unhealthy ingredients in food, well, hfcs specificallyDefinitely agree with that. The main reason hfcs is used in almost all processed food is because its price is actually artificially lowered by corn subsidies.
$15 haircuts at my barbershop. I tip $3 so $18 overall
Yes, that is a perk of going somewhere that isn't a barbershop. I'd never give that up.$15 haircuts at my barbershop. I tip $3 so $18 overall
Plus I get to have chick rub her boobs on me then humiliate me by trying to talk to me. :tophat
There's an overweight chick who works at the barbershop. Most dudes don't seem interested in sitting in her chair, so she'll always be near it looking all smug. One time I felt so bad for her that I let her cut my hair. She's good but I prefer the dude who usually cuts my hair.Nah, you are missing out. Nearly everyone at the place I go to are young over-eager hot students doing the cuts.
Hah, I pay just as much as you PD. I figured out a loophole and started going to a beauty school to get it done. Near salon quality but for dirt cheap and its like 99% hot young 18-20something women.
hot girls being forced to talk to you is a bad thing?Hah, I pay just as much as you PD. I figured out a loophole and started going to a beauty school to get it done. Near salon quality but for dirt cheap and its like 99% hot young 18-20something women.
If there was a beauty school around here I'd do that. But then I'd have to talk to people.
Haircut talk is so pointless. You don't care what I'm studying in school, now just cut my damn hair.They rarely talk about that from what I've seen. Most of the time they gossip about the other girls who are students there lol.

True :-\Yeah. And well the haircuts have to be graded and you have to wait for the teacher to show up lol.
Do you make small talk after the cut, like as you're getting ready to pay the chick?

I dunno, the teacher always asks how they did and I always say it's great or whatever no matter what. The student is always standing right there! I of course have to be nice, plus they tend to be hot. They could have shaved it all off and I'd say they did a great job probably.True :-\Yeah. And well the haircuts have to be graded and you have to wait for the teacher to show up lol.

:lol :lol :lol What if they get a failing grade? Do you still pay?
There was this creep I used to go to to get my hair cut. Every time he'd ask why I'm getting the haircut and I'll answer "no reason"
then he'd reply with: "oh really? :smug"
and put his hands next to each other (like this ////_ _\\\\)
I guess to recreate a vagina, then he'd put his tongue in there and start twirling it around. WOW very subtle you fuck.
I still hate myself for letting him continue cutting after that.

I haven't paid for a haircut in like ten years, lol. When I started balding I just bought some clippers and started doing it myself.When I notice the first real clear signs of balding I am just going to shave it all off. The semi-bald look adds like 20 years onto someones looks it seems like.
Bald white guys have it bad. Bald black guys on the other hand :bowBruce Willis shaves his head and looks like a badass.
Black guys with grey hair have it bad. White guys with grey hair on the other hand :bow
Bruce isn't a sissy boy though.I bet you'll go bald before you are 25
but I'll be manly like Bruce!with your scarves and transformer posters?
Ya but they know that 1) your cheep 2) that you're looking for young twat. It's lose lose.
