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

This was my number one annoyance with the program.
Really boiled my piss.

I think it was this program, it may have been different. It was about a 1000lb man in the USA and a bunch of other heffers.

Anyway, he had a girlfriend who would feed him whatever he wanted.
She complained that he could be really mean if he didn't get the food he wanted.. So fking what.
"You know what, you fat st? You want 10 pies then go get them out the fridge. What's that you say? You can't roll over from your stomach? Then eat the salad and shut up."

In the end they gave the guy a gastric band and he continued eating crap like he had always been. Only difference being that if he ate a lot of it he'd be ill.

So he continued to eat unhealthy foods and lost 500lbs. Lesson well and truly not learned.

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?

Their a**ehole would scab over and heal up then when they needed to start to eat food again they would explode like Monsieur Creosote.

Any downsides that you can think of?

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.

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

I agree. Where's the strength of character?

While there must be something wrong for them to get into that state, not doing anything about it before the point of no return indicates an extreme laziness and lack of motivation.

His reasons for starting down the path to blubberdom were pretty thin as well. Girlfriend left him, lost his job, father died, had to care for his mother. Well, afaik, these sorts of things happen to millions of people every day and they mtfu to deal with them.

And tried to kill himself twice but the useless fat couldn't even make a decent fist of that.

I know! Like the public haven't spent enough money keeping him alive, he now wants the nhs to spend what little money they have on legal costs and compo. Selfish
there is a reason he had his previous ops refused.

>last shred of human sympathy evaporates<

I can work out where the belly is. I can make out two legs. But for the love of all that is holy, can anyone shed any light on exactly WTF that ball of skin that is occupying the space where his twig and berries should be (not that I wish to see them, so small mercies and all that)? And where is it attached to/hanging from?
