...Dr. Cary Canvender, a gastroenterologist at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital, says there’s a lot of factors that go into having a gallbladder removed. But he believes eating the chips probably contributed.

The doctor says the number of children they see with stomach problems due to the chips is staggering.

“We probably see around 100 kids a month, easily.”

Glenn Beck you bastard! Look what you’ve done to this girl.

[camle]

of course mom had nothing to do with it...

[BitWielder1]

My kid is a glutton.
Who can I blame, who can I sue?...

[COUNTrecount]

I know that this is Trump’s fault, he’s separating a hot Cheeto from its family member.

She needs ICE to put out the heat...

[dfwgator]

[EdnaMode]

And let’s blame the Cheetos instead of the person buying them.

[Nevadan]

I was expecting to see an over 200 lb mom and a daughter on her way to her mom’s size. But both were a normal healthy size. While the mother should never have allowed her daughter to eat so much crap in the first place, I applaud her for sounding an alarm on this issue.

[HollyB]

Surprisingly, the girl is thin.

I wonder if her middle name might be Jabba????

"We assure you that Takis are safe to eat, but should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a well-balanced diet."

I know they have to say that, but a rebuttal always comes to mind immediately: Ok, which "part" of that well-balanced diet are they? It's like the Saturday cartoon commercials that show you that Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs are "part of a good breakfast", that already-good breakfast being scrambled eggs, a cup of orange juice, buttered toast, and a glass of milk.

I haven’t seen a picture...I went on the story where they discussed obesity...

Where are they pictured?

[butlerweave]

Did the Teen use that Slim Fast crap ,it goes right for the gallbladder ,ouch

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Her mother, also named Rene, thinks the spicy snacks had something to do with her health problems.

No Rene, it was all the fats in the Cheetos that affected the gall bladder. Spicy might have had an effect too but geez Louise...just tell the kid to cut back to a handful or two will ya. Bimbo.

[bagster]

Whatever you do, people, don't fat shame this useless eater.

Those damn chips. Somebody should sue the chip company.

Bagster

[Does so]

I know two people who had their gall bladder removed. They both said that they thought something was wrong when eating anything with a high fat content

After a great many attacks, my gall bladder was removed, and I'm pretty sure it was the pint of ice cream I ate after every dinner. :(

[jiggyboy]

Dollar bags, per the video. I’d bet two ounces or so per bag. Bad but not Jabba The Hut bad.

[1Old Pro]

After a great many attacks, my gall bladder was removed, and I'm pretty sure it was the pint of ice cream I ate after every dinner. :(

Or in my case, perhaps the delicious Italian Salami

[Red Badger]

Four big bags of Cheetos has thousands of calories.

Just 21 pieces have 160 calories..............

[JBW1949]

I finally got the video to load...She is normal size...The DOCTOR is the lard ass!!!!.....LOL...
