I was watching cable late night over the weekend--some silly show where the host goes to people's homes and helps them out with whatever their problem is. This particular show, she confronted a mom whose two year old son weighed 90 pounds. My 2, almost 3 year old weighs 31 pounds. The boy on the show ate all day long. He even ate in the bath tub--donuts and cookies. He ate hamburgers, hot dogs, and soda pop for breakfast if he wanted it.

Hmmmm. Sounds like Prader-Willi. Generally kids that young CAN'T eat that much even if encouraged to do so.
