I said to Mrs RSE "I can't believe I'm saying this but he does look thinner (the fat )"

What a whining fking maggot!

fks sake mate, eat a bit less, move a bit more and dry your eyes (although I did think your eyes looked suspiciously dry whilst you were having your temper tantrum).

Mind you, that footage of the poor lass arm deep in his 'folds' whilst washing him reminded me of something...

Dunno what she earns, but it ain't enough.

Thing is they are using a plastic surgeon they need to be using a butcher.

Got me thinking. Two things:

1) Why do people on whom these uber-fatties are dependent keep on feeding them? What good is it doing?

2) If they stopped eating, literally stopped, and only drunk water, would this do them any harm in the short term?

On the basis they're too fat to make it to the fridge what's to lose?
I heard i while ago , i scientist, did a experiment with a severely obese person; and only gave them water, no food what so ever, for 1 year 1 month.
The scientist also said that the average person could also survive without food - only water- for two months.
yikes
Genuinely can not longer remember where i got that from though... boxedin

Btw, what made you ask? Is there a program on it at the moment or something?
Seriously (and I mean this sincerely), you need to work on your spelling and grammar. That's one of the worst posts I've seen.
Have corrected some of the mistakes... was doing my head in!

biggrin
Still not right. Could do better!coffeesmile

Fat camp is the answer. You get locked in a cell; fed bred and water if you do a couple of hours on a exercise bike, and you're free to leave if you can get through the exit. But the exit's only 12" wide. If you're too much of a bloater to get on the bike, you get a hand mill like the victorian prisons.

job done.

Anyone else think that it took several takes for the surgeon to mention the 'Jumbulance' and his suggestion of the Chinook without laughing his arse off.

To be fair to the guy, he did seem to be being good with the food and determined to get better, unlike one of the fat Americans on another programme who whined non stop and whose mum still insisted on over-feeding him.

You fat . You don't just wake up fat. In the previous 10 fking years did you not think, "Hmm I should really stop myself cramming that 9th KFC down my gullet"? Did you not realise when you couldn't see your cock? When trousers didn't fit? When you broke stairs by walking on them?

We COULD all eat like you but then we'd all be fked. SELF DISCIPLINE is a wonderful phrase.

That fat fk should do us all a favour and put a gun to his own head. I bet that fat "tut"s as he watches alky's on Jeremy Kyle from his publically funded bed.

What happened to common sense, responsibility for self etc? What's the betting that within 5 years, some fat bd (or some fat bd's family) try and sue the gov't for allowing him to get so fat and not putting warnings on all food packages?

This fat fk gets everything paid for, regardless of it being his own gluttonous fault. Yet I am practically blind without my glasses, through no fault of my own, and have absolutely no help from the gov't. It's not a jealousy thing. It's a fairness thing.

I'd happily pull the trigger on the bolt gun.

Strange minds think alike. We ask the exact same questions.

Who the hell keeps bringing them food!?!?!? Or, if not stopping bringing them food, just bring them healthy food.
Its common!

When I was in hospital with liver failure, there was a woman in the next ward with liver failure as well.

Her "friends" and family were bringing in 7 Up bottles that were full of vodka. The doctor knew, but couldnt stop it.

I have no idea

I fear you may be very much mistaken.
Sadly you were very much mistaken.

I saw the "half ton teen" one a couple of days ago - similar story, but a 19yr old kid in America somewhere.

His mum lost a 19month child, and so the (now fat) kid was her whole life. Whatever he wanted, she catered for. As the doctors in the programme were saying, it's the mum that causes this, not the kid. He whines, she goes to it. It is, in her mind, love, but it doesn't help him at all.

I saw one a few years ago (I've no idea why, but i find these stories interesting) with a black guy in flats in (i think) New York. No one could understand why he conitnued to get bigger - he was being cooked for by his mum or auntie each night.

It was after a while that they realised he was being cooked for by his mum AND his auntie every night hehe

Where do you think? He can't walk, lift himself up, feed himself. The cost to care for him, feed him clothe him costs us the tax payer £100k every year.

Man the harpoons!
A friend of mine (who would love to be on PH wink) says "a bullet only costs a quid"

Good point that.

"Dons flame proof suit"

Now i know this isnt going to be popular but I thought i'd play devils advocate for a second and suggest that this is actually quite a serious mental health problem.

Yes I agree, his carers, mother or whoever shouldnt not have been supplying him with the crap food. But prior to the full time care, im sure he was piling it down himself to get to that stage.

I see this as a similar mental condition to alcoholism, sex addiction, maybe even smoking. All of which cost the tax payer to sort in varying degrees. He has a problem in his brain that stops him from being able to say 'no thanks im full'. Much in the same way an alcoholic says 'i need another drink' when of course, neither are the case. Many of us have will power problems and find it hard to disipline ourselves in various areas of our life. I find it hard sometimes to get off pistonheads and do some work!

I know this guy is an extreme case, a heavy burden (excuse the pun) on the tax payer. But i for one (and probably on my own) do have sympathy for his position. We are not all perfect, we all have our weaknesses and all fail to be strict with ourselves in some areas of our lives. Unfortuantely this seems to have taken him to an extreme.

To me, his tantrum when told that his benefits were being cut spoke volumes.

Good on his local council for doing that - he needs that kick up the (fat) arse to get motivated and get moving.

And then what do they do? Give the land whale a f**king wheelchair so he doesn't have to use his legs if he doesn't want to.

FFS.

Mental health - schmental schmealth.

This program just angered me, no other emotion. I think it was mainly his constant blubbering that did it.
