Interesting responses.
I have been accused of being a bleeding heart liberal and I do try to have sympathy for everyone, but its really hard with the morbidly obese. Unless theres some serious medical condition, its hard to think of an excuse for them. In the paraphrased words of Denis Leary, "when you can't see your penis, stop eating".
I mean absolutley no offense to your immediate family member with this question, WarWagon, but do you know how these glandular conditions work so that you can gain weight while eating nothing? It seems like the amount of weight you gain should be a simple calories in - calories out equation, and as long as you're alive it seems like you should be burning some calories.
