i cant see how people are giving this guy sympathy. he got to this weight by himself. he would have got to a weight where he cannot walk and yet still eats. you would think that being unable to walk for 5 years would give this man an insentive to do something. people dont show sympathy to drug addicts because they have got to a stage of not being able to hold down a job. the problem with society these days is that people are trying to normalise obesity and it makes obese people feel like it is acceptable to wollow in thier own self pity which is just pathetic. at least we wont have a pensions crisis.
