The whole phenomenon is pretty astounding to me. Genetics might very well play a part in the weight gain, but I have to say that I truly believe food addiction and lack of exercise is mostly to blame for this morbid obesity. You know, I have to wonder who keeps feeding these people once they become bedridden....I mean, if I was responsible for their diet after they became too fat to even walk on their own, they would only be getting salads, tuna, & vitamins until they could physically get up and fix their own meals.

You only live once, you know? I hate to think of people wasting away their entire lives by digging their graves with a fork. Overeaters need help before it gets this bad. I hope more of them find it.
