Users quickly blasted her opinions, with one writing: "It's usually much cheaper to eat junk then healthy so obviously not \[sic\]."

But reactions seemed pretty divided, with many agreeing with the social commentator.

One said: "Abso… frigging… lutely!! Bone idle and pig ignorance should not qualify as a condition for medical treatment on UK taxpayers! \[sic\]"

Another said: "I'm hoping that you say the same thing about boob jobs! They are a great burden on NHS \[sic\]."
