Problem is -- how to get them to the institutions in the first place?!Gabryel Karolin said:People like this should be institutionalized and kept there until they fall back to a normal weight. They obviously need medication/therapy no-one wants to be that big.

Of course they have some sort of physical problems. You can't become THAT fat with only lack of self-control. You have to have something else working to make you big.Rhymes said:I just read about fat people.. for fun. It seems that these monsters get that fat because they have a disease that makes them make a lot of edema (??). It means that instead of creating fat, they create a lot of body fluids at a much higher rate.
A regular person eating 10 big macs might gain 1 pound of fat. A person with the syndrom will create 0.5 pound of fat and 5 pounds of fluid instead. That is why they can loose and gain weight so fast.
here is a link to the "1000 pound club"... have fun

For the same reason you say "ouch" when you cut your finger, despite it being so much less painful than having your arm broken.Erik Mesoy said:Why is everyone screaming "MY EYES" so much?
Let me assure you, there is much much worse stuff out there.
I once had a saw jump on me and cut three inch-long cuts on my left wrist; I still have the middle scar today. My response was to stare at it for a few seconds, think hm, I appear to be bleeding, lick away the blood, finish sawing the log I was busy with, and only then did I go to get a bandage. The pain was there all the time, but I was simply ignoring it because there was no point in screaming.TLC said:For the same reason you say "ouch" when you cut your finger, despite it being so much less painful than having your arm broken.

Erik Mesoy said:I still don't understand why so many people felt an urge to post "AARGH MY EYES". Sure it may be disgusting, but I have a hard time understanding that one would actually scream out loud.
Is there, perhaps, some in-joke that I'm not in on due to not owning a TV? Is there some popular series with a guy who's led a very sheltered life and screams each time he sees something new? Or do I just have a ridiculously high pain and disgust threshhold?
