Andrew,
YOU are responsible for your condition. All your 'problems' are secondary effects of obesity.
And, like most other obese people, you always have an excuse.
Do not expect others to subsidise you and your habits.
And eat less
And exercise more ...oh, sorry, of course you can't because you're too fat...
And stop whining
BTW, Medically speaking, 'metabolic syndrome' is just another bull**** excuse. The 'doctors' (note non-capitalisation) who peddle it are fringe entrepreneurs who are the scorn of the profession. And I know because I am proper Doctor who spends his energies treating people with problems they have not brought upon themselves - it drives me to distraction just how much of the health dollar is spent on obesity, smoking, and other 100% preventable issues, if not for peoples' self-indulgence.
So enough of the 'poor fat me' crap.....ever see anyone obese in photos from the WW2 camps? - no, thought not. See, they had very little food and were made to work very hard. (Apologies to anyone offended by the reference - not intended, but it is a very good example).
