Well in all fairness if his mother is that weak willed, it's just as well he's a gutton he could have grown up to be the type of scumbag that was a junkie/dealer and making other's people's lives a miser rather then just his and hers.

I was getting mixed up with another programme on living, just looking at the ch 4 one now. He is being cared for by the state, he is 46 years old.

He is getting for breakfast for example 4 sausages, a whole pack of bacon, eggs etc

All paid by the state, 120 grand a year for his care!

If animals in the wild had 24hr access to fatty foods, they would be fat.

You're being sarcastic, right?

....I don't know, WHY IS the wildebeast / waterbuffalo shop only open till 6pm?

Because they are in rural areas and there isn't much demand for milk and bread after 6pm.

I don't know... why are you so sharp. I love Cork wit.

Its his own fault, he is a burden to the state, why is it so hard to understand STOP EATING. 20000 calorie's a day is ****ing ridiculous, thats enough to feed 8 normal people.
Whatever he gets he deserves.

Did anyone see him eating white bread!! Surely he should be eating brown, his carer is isn't even trying.

Every time ive turned onn the tv this week all the shows are about morbidly obese people, britains fattest man, xl families, half ton man, half ton teen etc seriously why cant they just cop on and stop eating thosands of calories a day! im sick of these shows clogging up the tv

I'd hazard a guess he was fed a lot of crap at home when he was too young to understand the implications, so I wouldn't deem him entirely at fault for the condition he's in.

At least he can store personal items like his wallet, car keys, runners, laptop etc in his considerably large fleshy folds.

God love him, what a life.

i watched that tonight and i'm sure i heard him say,

"its not my fault i'm this big if they would have given me the operation 20 stone ago i wouldnt be having this problem now"

to me it seems like he has always expected someone else to do something about his weight and is blaming the nhs for him being 56 stone.

No reason to believe they are.

When we were still hunter-gatherer types, high-caloric fatty and sugary foods would have been relatively scarce, so being predisposed towards craving and binging on them was actually beneficial to our survival.

Thing, is, major evolutionary changes happen over millions of years whilst human technology moves much more rapidly. With fatty foods being in plentiful supply, it's no longer an advantage to desire them over healthier fare. But our bodies don't know this.

Couldnt believe it meself. 100k a year to pay for himself and his servant so he can spend his days eating like Henry VIII and watching tv.

While still consuming in excess of 20,000 calories per day (up to 30,000 some days!) Though he obviously has psychological problems so it's not as simple as just saying he's a fat glutton.

But you have to wonder how people like him can afford to eat so much? I was watching a similiar show about a hugely obese guy in the US and his monthly food costs were insane, I can't remember the figure but it was multiples of what the average person would spend on food, and included gigantic quantities of takeaways on top of his supermarket shopping. Needless to say he didn't have a job.
