One day someone will call 911 for EMS to come to her house. They will be faced with a near impossible task, to save her life.

If they can keep her alive, they will need the fire department to cut out walls of her residence so she can be moved and will fit out the exit. Then there is the issue she will not fit on the stretcher, even one made for bariatric patients. Maybe they can get her on a sheet of 3/4 plywood, if they can find one and modify it with hand holds. Maybe the improvised stretcher will fit in the ambulance, maybe she will have to be placed in the bed of someones pick up truck. Then, depending, she will have to be transported to a hospital that specializes in cases like hers, more than likely, she will just go to the morgue which presents its own problems.

People like this put a burden on the system in more ways than one and most likely, the tax payer will foot the bill.

Last person like this I remember hearing about, they had to tear down the wall, and use a forklift to transport the guy.

My cousin and her husband were in that boat. The mother is obese and the father is quite overweight but not really obese. The child was a blessing since it took them a few years of trying. Doubt they will have any more children since it might put the mother's health at risk if she gets pregnant again

Nothing more dignified than being removed from your home with the help of a sawzall. Both of these people are nuts!!!

There's a family of three people who live in our neighborhood and all are morbidly obese. Two women and a guy, who weigh somewhere between 350-400 lbs. each. The women are just 5 feet tall and the older one can walk only by shuffling her feet sideways. When they used to visit neighbors in their car, one of them had to get out, so it would clear the curb-cut. They are on public assistance of several types. I can't imagine what their grocery cart would have in it. It must be expensive to eat so much, to maintain that weight. You'd think that some assistance would be extended to them, to control this severe health problem. I could tell them how to eat, but they would reject anything I would say, because I'm in good physical shape and they seem to resent me for it.

I could watch only 2 minutes of that disgusting female.

From whom does she receive all that food? Obviously she doesn't work. What does hubby do for a living that he can afford all that?

Is this woman on any type of public assistance? She'd better not be getting food stamps... or anything from the food bank.

Who's the sicko that plans on taking care of her when she can no longer move? It better not be us taxpayers!

Hubby needs to be locked up too. He's mentally ill. Both are dangerous and should never be permitted to raise a child.

You really should read it; not only for how disgusting this is, but also society. She is being partially supported by people online who "enjoy watching her eat".

What? I am not clicking on it but I am guessing they get some sort of pleasure out of it. The dregs of society NEVER cease to amaze me.
