You know I am pretty big myself but I could never *imagine* eating as
much as some of those people ate.

And I noticed many of them could not even get out of bed so *someone*
was giving them those amounts of food. Isn't there a point where the
person feeding you says..enough is enough. That is just TOO MUCH food
to live properly.

Exactly what I thought. Who on earth is bringing all that food to
them..they obviously can't manage it for themselves.

The world is full of enablers, I guess.

Suicide by knife and fork ?

How terribly sad....

Yes it is when you think about it.

I could not *imagine* allowing myself to give someone that much food
if I knew it was making them bigger and bigger and literally killing
them slowly.

My oldest son, who has recently gotten into cooking, has tried to be
an enabler of sorts when he decides he wants to cook dinner (about
twice a week now). A couple times he has said to me that i don't
*need* to eat low carb and I told him..'Oh but I do so if you are
going to make dinner for me be sure it is lowcarb.'

The other night I had an argument with him about not putting salt in
*my* food through the cooking of it or otherwise. He tried to tell me
that salt would not cause me to have water retention but after pulling
up a couple webpages on the net (our computer is next to the kitchen)
he did not put salt anywhere near my food.....and my dinner *was*
lowcarb.

He made steak and asparagus roll-ups. :-)

I *won't* allow him to enable me (just as I won't enable myself) and
it will pay off in the end someday so he will not do it to someone
else he cares for.

Good for you for standing up to him and wanting to eat better!

It was either stand up to him or not eat the food he cooked
if it was not low carb or salted and he hates it when I don't eat the
dinners he takes great care to prepare.

He even got ****ed at me another time when he made me
an LC dinner but I had fallen asleep before it was cooked
and by the time I came downstairs to eat it it was cold and in the
fridge. That made him upset but I told him it was just as good nuked.

Strangely it still ****es him off.

He wants to be a chef. Do they have strange temperments? LOL

When I read that I just envisioned a planet w/ many moons orbiting around her.
She needs psych attention as do her servants.
How sad.

Chung visits these folks in Atlanta in their homes. There are more
morbidly obese people than you can imagine.

I think the saddest case is that of #4 Michael Edelman who starved to death
weighing about 600 pounds. Just goes to show that someone does have to eat
no matter how fat they are. He seriously needed a lot of psychiatric help
and he evidently didn't get enough or it wasn't in time.
