upvote for "husband wears the pants" comment, when clearly he's not wearing any pants.

Also the only way anyone could get this big is if they have people bringing them food... if he had to actually walk to the kitchen, grocery store, etc, it would be impossible for him to get that large. I don't even want to know how he goes #2...

I don't care just fucking die. I'm just thinking about how many children could've been fed on the food he was unnecessarily shoving down his gullet.

900lb Man is actually a superhero fighting against global overpopulation.

It's hearing stuff like this that makes me ok with the recent determination that obesity is a disease.

There's a definite line between obesity like this and simply being overweight. Lots of people are overweight, but this guy is insanely obese and apparently has no self control..his wife apparently has no self control either.

I have to admit, part of me shares Yogi's sentiment. Part of me wants to simply let people like this die. But they're going to be a massive burden on the health care system no matter which way you look at it so we might as well try to learn something from the guy. sociologically and medically, then maybe we can prevent this shit in the long term.

Obesity is our next national concern. As much as I want to blame people like the guy in the video. They don't deserve 100 percent of the blame.

Shitty food keeps getting cheaper and cheaper and healthy food keeps getting more and more expensive. We have a health care system that is designed around covering up symptoms instead of solving the root causes.

It's not impossible to live a healthy lifestyle in spite of these factors, but it certainly isn't getting easier.

There is clearly some psychological issues at play here, not just purely eating too much and not exercising.

No they don't deserve 100% of the blame, I doubt anyone does. When I see a black guy from harlem robbing people though I can blame him and understand that society is fucked up and contributed to his actions. This fat fuck has to take a TON of blame and choke it down.
