This shit is sad... How can the kid's parents feed him SO MUCH FOOD? I understand that genes may be part of it, but holy shit once you're 300lbs you gotta stop and control yourself no? Or if you wake up in the morning and can't see your toes cuz your stomach is in the way. These outta be some good clues... But NOO NOO, the parents still feel so much caring sympathy and feeds him to 600lbs... Up to this point, i'm not sure if its the parent's fault to blame for this SUPER overweight kid, or it's the kid's problem for having no self control

+ Show Spoiler [Half Ton Teen] +


What you think the kid can do to regain his life back? Maybe only eating vegetables for several weeks? oO. Not sure if he can take it.

FULL VIDEO THANKS JOHN7KFC!

It's the kid's as well as the parent's fault. I'd even go as far as to say when the kid was younger the parent's should have been charged with child abuse. That is fucking ridiculous.

It is called a god damn salad, if he doesn't want it then he won't eat. He will get hungry eventually, and if he wants something else that bad he will make it himself. Tough love.


EDIT: Also send the kid to a therapist.

Well, there is still chance for this guy except he really needs to work hard like the rest of them. I saw one lady in T.V. she was like 190 pounds and 5'4 feet tall, did alot of cardio and some lypo, like magic she turned very hot and sexy as hell! ^_^

But for this kid, guess he has to join the biggest loser LOLOLZ!

on another note: kid really has hope since there's a woman which was 650 lbs reduced to 150 I think. If you watch the video you would see her there.
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

At the moment USA has 33% overweight people and in next 6 years its going to raise to 40% of total USA population.

USA pays 200 billion dollars treating overweight patients (diabetes II, Heart problems).

Urban Institute researcher Stan Dorn suggest that food that causes overweight problems should have tax on it. This will cover Medical bills and advertisement on this matter.

Gosh I hope that tax doesn't get implemented, most of my food considerations are based on the food's calories-per-dollar ratio.

Don't worry, news link I posted has some negative things against this tax thing like "It gives less freedom to choose what you eat". Mostly people were against it.

It doesn't work like that for most people. There's no one point where they suddenly decide to change the way they live/eat. That is... until it gets so out of control that they take up an "all or nothing" attitude and prepare for surgery or other magic fixes. It bothers me when this happens to people and they claim it wasn't their fault, though.

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.
