"Casper weighed a little over 104 pounds at the time, which means the boy — who was 4 feet 2 inches tall when he died — gained roughly 150 pounds in less than two years. His diet consisted largely of potato chips and French fries...."

From "Michigan Couple Are Charged With Murder After Death of Morbidly Obese Son/Seven-year-old Casper O’Brien weighed 255 pounds when he died last year. Prosecutors said he was bedridden and subsisted on little more than snack foods" (NYT).

Just like him.

A sister in similar morbidly obese condition is now in temporary foster care. A disturbing case for the prosecutor who still ahsn't seen it all.

huh?
mom's can't kill their children now?
they can STILL castrate them, and pump them full of hormones though..
right?

if a 7 year old is old enough to decide what hormones it should take..
why isn't it old enough to decide what food it wants?

These people are more like vegans than carnivores.

They eat cow diets. Not really shocking when they end up shaped like cows.

They should be charging the people who created the food pyramid with mass murder.

They did it with intent and malice.

Seems right. Always hungry, never feel full. How much food can a person physically consume?

The food pyramid just encourages people to eat pyramids of food.

I read a long time ago that consumption within the range of Joey Chestnut was a kind of norm for the prairie Indians during the buffalo hunts. They would kill a buffalo and then gorge on the organ meat and muscle. With no refrigeration, it was important to eat it fresh. They would gorge and then lay about for a while, and gorge again.

Not to make his life worse, but I went to college with a young man whose parents actually called him Richard Fallus. Then again, another was named Vladi-Slavar Schwartz. I worked some student pay-hours in admin. Both were real names. Vladi was a genius who died of a skin fungus in the Peace Corps. He had terrible eczema and had to cover his entire body to go outdoors. He invented an entirely new dictionary and wrote his very interesting thesis in the invented language. Who the hell in the Peace Corps sent him to the Philippines, with all that moisture? Criminals. Sweet guy.
