Minders hired to stop fat family eating

A council is spending £110,000 on a team of minders to stop a fat Scottish family from over-eating, it has been claimed.

Dundee City Council is said to have hired the team for a family of eight who have a 12-year-old son who weighs a massive 16 stone, a 11-year-old daughter (12 stone) and 3-year-old daughter (4 stone)

Dundee Families Project will now employ three full-time staff to monitor the families meals and force them to exercise - including the 23st mum and 18st dad.

The fat family - who can't be named for legal reasons - will also get advice on lifestyle habits and diet ... yeah, don't eat so much.
