I feel bad for the kid, and bad for the mother too. She had no (or little) idea she was one of the major problems causing her child to gain weight...

I hope the child loses weight and gets healthier not to his virginity, but to actually live a longer life.

Depressing, but I honestly see his mother being a significant factor in doing so. Of course, they shouldn't force kids on a diet for no reason whatsoever, but from what I see in the video, his mother is doing the enabling. She asks him if he wants this, and wants that, etc. She is essentially starting with food, and asking if he wants it, instead of the opposite order. Not to mention she didn't seem to make an effort to change the lifestyle, but rather support the past.

I really feel sorry for the kid =\.

Edited above. What he needs probably isn't a medical procedure or hypnotist. What he needs is proper support and inner strength which he has yet to use.

After watching this I kinda regret eating at Burger King tonight. :>

About slowly getting fatter without noticing, that's what scales are made for. Simply buy one and put it in a corner of the bathroom, readily available so that anyone can use it when passing by. Half of the problem solved (the other half is to define a maximum weight and take immediate action when reached).

That's really something everyone should do, seriously. Scales are cheap as fuck, and since you'll eat less shit thanks to them, they will actually save you money. Best investment ever.

I hope he doesn't play Zerg. Must suck losing every game because your finger is so large that you can't press S without pressing D at the same time and and end up only hatching drones.

It's a startling story, but I don't really feel pity or anything for these ppl. I mean, I feel bad for 'em to an extent, but it's really their own fault.
Like many have pointed out, the overweight person themselves should have steped up long ago to try to fix it, even if their parents are still just 'throwing' food at them w/ no regard. Before it came to such an obese problem, around 300 lbs, the parents should have taken some preventive measures.

I seen a show about an obese person once, his attitude was like; " i don't have a good family life and when i get depressed, I eat ". I mean.. wtf is that? just because u get sad and ur parents and u dont really get along that well, u turn to mass eating? thats prolly worse than a "cutting" self-infliction.. i mean.. eventually u want to come away from such a problem by gaining self-esteem.. Once u get some self-esteem, u can get over cutting and live somewhat normally, but if u have a eating problem because of ur depression, i think it would be harder trying to overcome losing 200+ lbs y'know..

I remember when I was younger, I was walking with my dad and we saw this short guy whose also damn round. He looked ridiculous. My dad actually said this, get this: "Don't you be like him. I'd be ashamed to be out with you if you looked like that."

Yeah, family, cruel but at least he was no enabler. I'm tall and I've never been fat, but for a long time I hovered above my ideal weight. Well, I fixed that problem a long time ago.

Wow! Think of that kids potential, as in energy (mgh).

You know I think taxing can diminish the amount of obese people. Since taxing of sweets was removed in Finland the consumption has doubled. Now the taxes are coming back but they could raise taxes on other fatty foods too IMO.

Actually that Stan Dorn has pretty neat idea, to raise taxes on things that are unhealthy and cause medical bills. This could well be implemented to alcohol, tobacco and drugs as they wont affect those who don´t overuse all this stuff. In other hand if these get too pricey they will create crime whereas taxing food propably won´t.

I actually almost feel bad for this kid because of his parents.


I would imagine you are for the poor, correct? Do poor people really have the option to choose from a variety of options in their diets? No, they don't. Look at it from a market perspective. Fatty foods are normally the cheapest for the amount of food. I think the alternative of being hungry is not any better. Let people decide for their own what they want to eat and how they want to live without proclaiming dictats down to the lowly proleteriat.

Once you go down this logical road, you might as well tax anything that has a negative effect. Why not? What in the logical process prevents you. Logical inconsistencies are the worst. It's as worst as stupid seatbelt laws, and bicycle helmet laws. If these people take the risks they full well are aware of, then why is it anyone else's business?

Perhaps you shouldn't be so worried about what other people do, yes?

Why do people want to tax fatty foods?

Since when should they decide what's best for my own body. I'm responsible for my own damn body, it's not my fault other people are idiots and can't control themselves. Now I have to pay extra because the government deems I "shouldn't be consuming that type of food"? Fuck that, fuck the government in that case.

EDIT: For a few that said gastric bypass, I was watching a documentary on 500+ lb people in America the other day, and there was a woman around 800 lbs. All hospitals she originally went to, over 50+ hospitals, all refused her gastric bypass because of the risk involved in doing it. Most hospitals will refuse you gastric bypass once you hit around the 500-600 lb weight. She ended up finding a particular hospital that specializes in gastric bypass for the "super morbidly obese" (haha which is actually a stage above "morbidly obese).

They don't believe in reason, and they don't believe that anyone can decide what's best for themselves. They believe that people must be forced to do what is in the best interest of the group. The government already does this with alcohol and cigarettes and it's absolutely disgusting. I realize that there is a case for taxing cigarettes because of the harm done from second hand smoke, but that doesn't apply to alcohol.
