After much searching, I found out that the “Monitor” is published and located in McAllen, Texas.

When will these small town newspaper websites start learning to identify themselves with their complete name and location? They could be anywhere. I thought the Monitor was in Australia.

How does a 1000 pound person function? How do you get up or walk? How do you go to the bathroom or clean yourself?

How is it even possible to gain or weigh 1000 pounds? How much do you have to eat to weigh that much?

I don’t want to even think or know about this.

Now I know why there are “starving children” in China.

Usually someone of that weight has an “enabler” (a spouse or a parent) buying them food by the truckload once they reach 400 lbs. or so and can no longer get around on their own. It’s no different than any other “addiction/enabler” relationship.

I have a VERY large sister (she wasn’t large when we were kids; we were both underweight if anything) and her days truly DO revolve around her next meal; planning it, shopping for it, making it; eating it all at one sitting. :(

We almost always meet over meals...and I’m always chastised for eating a ‘normal’ portion. Maybe I’m the weird-o in the family?

Not! ;)

When you think of an immobile obese person, imagine, what goes in,must come out! Oh the processed grocerys! If she ends up in prison, I’m sure she will either sue the government for gastric bypass surgery, or for food portions that enable her to sustain her weight. The ACLU will be glad to help. On the other hand, she probably wont do time because her lawyer will get her off on the obvious insanity plea.

I thought the same thing on the earlier thread yesterday, and she did that in only 27 years. That's a lot of tacos.
