Murderous intent?

Well, if the 90 year old obese woman with diabetes bought them for herself, it looks more like self-harm than attempted murder.

I’m just amazed that an obese diabetic reached 90.

[MerylStreep] Me two..but OP what an odd thing to say 'attempted murder'

The obese diabetic old lady doesnt buy them for herself. A visiting adult child visits only three times per year and brings a bag of sweet stuff each time. The photo shows just todays haul. No flowers, just this vast load of a tin of biscuits, cake, and endless bags of chocolates. It is hard to imagine its not designed to harm.

If she is obese she is eating the wrong foods when they are not visiting. Maybe she asks for them.

Or maybe the 'giver/givers' just think that at her time in life, she's entitled to eat whatever she wants, even if it is causing her harm?
I'm not attempting to condone it, by the way - but I've heard that argument from others in similar circumstances - such as with smoking. Some people justify these things by arguing that a person of such advanced years should be able to 'enjoy' whatever time they have left no matter what damage their form of 'enjoyment' is causing.

What is the old lady's own view on the matter?

Gosh if I get to 90 I ll probably drink ? by the bottle eat whatever I fancy and dance the light fandango
Anyone joining me ?

At 90 she's already reached a grand age.

I'd leave it be. Certainly not attempted murder!

Well the murderous intent obviously isn't working if she's lived to 90!

Are you this woman's Carer?

I don't think that's much, spread out over a year.

Well the murderous intent obviously isn't working if she's lived to 90! haha riverwalk you are right

It's possible that the lady asks her visitor for these things when she visits. Often on GN posters say 'At my time of life I'm not being told what to do...I'll do what I want' - well, maybe she feels the same. Where on earth did this story come from??

At 90 you my not worry about the consequences of eating whatever you like.

Is this a spoof? A diabetic aged 90 being fed sugar and accusing the person of getting wills changed in their favour.
If it isn't I'll have what she's having if I can get to 90.

Very strange post read it again and there’s a lot of hidden ‘beef’ in there Granmygrammy what’s you’re involvement are you related ?

Where did this story come from, GrammyGrammy ? Our reactions to it depend very much on who first told it to you, where they heard it, and so on back to whoever had first-hand knowledge of it. Can you give us a link to where you found it?

Well 10 weeks ago my husband was given 6 weeks to live, he said at the time that expensive bottle of brandy in the cupboard I am going to drink. He is on his 3rd bottle - all bought by me, some of his tablets say don’t drink alcohol with them but who cares he enjoys it. Attempted murder- I don’t think so.

Maybe a post from the plimsoll line.
Nice modern kitchen

Oh no! Mr. B bought me a gingerbread man when he went to the bakery earlier. Is he trying to kill me?

I need to confess, after zooming in on the photo, I’ve added caramel aero bars to my shopping list ?

Oh I don't know. I had a 'friend' once who deliberately cooked her husband the fattiest, unhealthiest foods she could think of. She told me she was trying to give him a heart attack.

We're not friends anymore.

DH sometimes buys me dark chocolate.
My children buy me chocolate - are they after their inheritance? ?

Ooh! Eclairs! Yum.

After looking at the OP, I really must tidy my cupboards
