http://reuters.myway.com/article/20060503/...OBESITY-DC.html Look at the picture...OMG.

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>"I can't walk. I'm can't leave my bed," the 40-year-old Uribe, who weighs the same as five baby elephants, said in a recent telephone interview.</div>Haha that's so decieving, but funnyThe guy's disgusting, he let himself get that way so I don't feel sorry for him. Even if they don't know what the problem is, it says he was almost 300 lbs at 22, so clearly that was his fault.

 

Fat is wack, live by that notion Tony, this article should be your bible. J/k

 

Haha, owned

 

Ouch....

 

His stomach touches the floor, pretty sickening.

 

Look at his skin discoloration...oh my god.

 

You guys do know that Obesity is a disease in some cases?

 

If you call not moving and being lazy a disease...

 

No, obviously being lazy isn't a disease, but in general im talking about obese people. Obesity can be inherited - you are more likey to become obese if you have it in your genes. Those people who have this disease don't have the same metabolism as you - not even close - so part of it isn't their fault, and part of it is.

 

That's true in some cases and he definitely has a genetic predisposition to obesity, but regardless he could have done a better job of keeping it under control.

 

That's probably true, but I don't think it would've helped much even if he tried . Food to obese people is like drugs - they eat even if they arent hungry.

 

It's not a disease, it's a lack of maturity and self control.

Often times it does have to do with psychological issues, maybe the parent's lack of discipline or stress, so they eat food to comfort themselves.

 

How in the hell do you get that way? That's so disgusting.

 

O My God.Im disgusted for life, and i'll have nightmares all week.

 

More like wet dreams.

 

lol, that's just gross BCB.

 

Thats just disgusting. I wouldn't let my self get like that. Why wouldn't you get help a long time ago, it said his wife left him a decade ago because of the rapid weight gain. Wouldn't you think you would try to get help then if your wife left you because of it.

 

By then it was probably too out of control, he should have dealt with it when he was 300 lbs.
