I think someone who is this obese has some physiological problem, that his "wiring" is off and he never feels sated. I think he should get the gastric bypass procedure as soon as his weight is low enough for him not to be killed by the anesthesia.
He's already had the surgery. It's mentioned in a later part of the article.
Talk about enabling!! How someone can continually bring a person like this food is beyond my ken. I remember a guy on a trash/talk show in the 80's, talk about eating a dozen eggs, a lb of bacon and a loaf of bread for breakfast. Then of course multiple chickens and lbs of potatoes for dinner. Somone in these cases should be criminally liable. If they cannot walk anymore, they have a problem, when they can no longer get through a door or get off of their back, there is abuse at work.
