Assanti's father says taking his son home will be a death sentence, because he'll just fall back into the habits of lying in bed and eating. So the two men say they will continue to drive around until they can find a place to help.


What a strange hell to be in.

For the past 80 days, Assanti was getting the help he needed in a Rhode Island hospital where he lost 20 pounds. But ordering pizza violated the care plan, and the hospital told him he had to leave.


Yeah, I'd say losing 20 lbs in 80 days, it wasn't doing him much good anyway.

At what point do people like this decide their weight is an issue?


500 lb?

600lb?

700lb?

Nope, 800lb was the threshold.

I'm willing to bet that's just the one he got caught ordering.

To me, here's the thing about these people. They are so fricking fat that they can't even feed themselves. Like they are not capable of going to the refrigerator to fix a plate or answering the door for pick up. That means that some one in their lives is actively feeding them. They have enablers. Those are the really fricked up people.

If I had a close friend or family member who was that fat, I would only bring him celery sticks and fresh veggies in moderate amounts until his fat arse got mobile enough to get his own god damn food.

Yep. I think there was a show on TLC where they would "follow" (obviously the subject remained stationary) these insanely fat folks, and their family members were bringing them tacos, and fast food, and sneaking them all sorts of "snacks".

Sounds like he's paralyzed by his emotional anxiety and depression.

Very similar to ordering a six pack of bud in alcohol rehab. Or bringing a gun into a mental hospital when you are suicidal.

Wait, wait, wait...

He did order it with a two-liter Diet Coke.

C'mon Man!

Sounds like he needs to get on that WetBreasts diet. That dude lost like 300 or 400 pounds in a little over a year.

Cruel but necessary. You can't help people who don't want to help themselves and fatasses are the perfect example of that demographic.

Maybe they should just let this huge burden on the system die. Or maybe they should just ship him the Africa and let him starve or die of AIDS.

(In case you can't tell, I don't have a lot of sympathy for fatties).

800 lbs? Hell no. Thats beyond terrible. He seriously had to be enabled big time. His father has no business complaining because he was likely one of those who helped him get to that point.

Now I can understand when its someone who has a genetic disposition for being overweight, and then another medical issues pushes them into a sedentary lifiestyle,

Frankly, I wouldn't help him. If you're that fat where you cannot even feed yourself, natural selection sees your genes as unfit - u dead
