I just don’t know what to think when I hear of mega-fat people, those who grew while they were bed-ridden. This type of spectacle simply has to be enabled by others, because there’s no way these people can get to food on their own. These are stories of intense co-dependence. They have to be. The murder allegations here almost seem like a distraction to the main story.
These people are enabled by the people feeding them obesegenic foods. Check out Gary Taubes’ “Why We Get Fat” for the full story of what’s making us fat. Fascinating stuff!
