"Make sure you go to one food pantry at the beginning of the month so you can come to this one in the middle of the month. It helps."
That was the advice I got at one point in my life when I needed help getting enough food. Obesity is not necessarily "just a choice." I am very lucky that now I tend to have (barely) enough income to get groceries, and food security enough that I don't feel the need to just eat while there is food, because it might run out tomorrow.
Not everyone is so lucky. Nor do I have any health conditions or take any medications that make it near-impossible to lose unhealthy weight. What advice or help would we have, as a group, for someone in those situations?
