Poor kid.

[bill3542]

I got a 21 year old nephew who weighs around 350 pounds, all he's ever done is eat and play video games. The sad part is his mother is a RN and let it happen.... Daddy was a bar sperm donor.
He's also a habitual liar and a sneak thief which is why he's not allowed at my house..... my son's nickname for him is ( mattress stain ), he's eating himself to death and I have no fucks given. The world would be better off without him.

That is a damn shame those parents should be charged with murder the poor kid. Their are all kinds of medications now for weight problems in people. It reaches a point where food turns from a necessity of life to a cure for the depression caused by being overweight. Hell I am always working on loosing a few pounds.

Approximately 72% to 74% of adults in the United States are currently classified as either overweight or obese, placing America 10th globally in national obesity rankings. According to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and recent health indices, the nation faces a significant public health challenge regarding body weight, though adult obesity rates have recently shown a slight, gradual decline due to the rise of advanced weight-loss medications and nutrition initiatives.

What did they do to that kid, stick a tube down his throat and feed him like a Fois Gras goose?

[Klauss]

Part of me was wanting to know how that kid got that size.

Then I realized I don’t want to know.

Outside a health issue that could screw with metabolism I don’t see how it should be possible unless they just used junk food to shut him up every time he bothered them. Thats on them.

Klauss more than likely exactly what your saying about the junk food. Notice how when you get to the check out at the the stores how the candy and chips, soda are all over the frigging place at checkout.
We all know that trick they have but look at the elevation of the crap? Either set low on shelves or perfect eye level if the little sprogs are in the shopping cart. Lot of psychology goes into those stores like notice its set up for shoppers entering to go in a counter clockwise direction.
Yup keep moving do not go clockwise or else.
