Brian Butler had been living at the Bannister House in Providence but earlier this month it was announced the nursing home with $2 million in debt was closing down. All patients including Butler would need to be moved to other facilities. The coalition to move Butler to his new home included Providence and Cranston Fire Departments, Lifespan, the Hospital Association of Rhode Island and Bay Crane Northeast. The whole operation to get Butler from Bannister House to Eleanor Slater Hospital took nearly seven hours Sunday.

How the fuck do you get that fat?
oy shouldn't he be crushed under his own weight?
at that point i'd just retract my head into my fatfolds and suffocate myself to death
I feel bad for him. No matter what your view on overweight people is, nobody can get like that purely by just being willingly lazy.
Absolutely disgusting

Did the truck say "Wide Load" on the back?
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;47563907]Did the truck say "Wide Load" on the back?[/QUOTE] That's just bad. (Sorry I giggled :c)
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;47563907]Did the truck say "Wide Load" on the back?[/QUOTE] not sure about that but given the chance he fell off the crane they probably sent out tsunami warnings

[QUOTE=AJ10017;47563905]mcdonalds all day every day[/QUOTE] It has nothing to do with McDonalds specifically. [quote]John Cisna — a science teacher from Des Moines, Iowa — ate nothing but McDonald’s for 90 days and wound up losing 37 pounds! With the help of three of his students, Cisna simply planned and followed a diet that totaled no more than 2,000 calories each day and closely mirrored the reference daily intakes of carbohydrates, protein, fat, and cholesterol. Also included in Cisna’s self-experiment were 45 minutes of daily walking. Moreover, the teacher dutifully tracked his meals and exercise in an Excel spreadsheet. By the end of the 90 days, he was 37 pounds slimmer, and his LDL (bad) cholesterol had plummeted by 60 points.[/quote] [url]http://www.forbes.com/sites/rosspomeroy/2014/01/07/super-size-me-science-teacher-loses-37-lbs-eating-at-mcdonalds/[/url]

Tom Naughton went on a similar diet and made a documentary about his results, called [URL="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1333994/"]Fat Head[/URL]. EDIT: merge breaker EDIT: [QUOTE=mcgrath618;47563995]Fried food confirmed healthy time to go get fried bacon[/QUOTE] Watch [URL="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1333994/"]Fat Head[/URL]. It references some studies that show that refined carbohydrates are much worse for you than fryer oil.
[QUOTE=Jamsponge;47563902]I feel bad for him. No matter what your view on overweight people is, nobody can get like that purely by just being willingly lazy.[/QUOTE] You're right, eating that much fucking food that takes dedication and effort.
man imagine him falling out while they carry him and just exploding everywhere. This must have been a pretty delicate operation.
I'm 147 pounds (5'3") and I feel miserable when I push 150 after a holiday or something. I can't imagine being morbidly obese. I'd probably opt for euthanasia/physican-assisted-suicide.

You'd be classed as morbidly obese if you put on 50lb or so, which is a fair amount, but is fuck all compared to 1000lb
I'm 6'4" and 250 pounds, which is 50 pounds heavier than I usually am. Goddamn I feel like shit, gotta get back into diet and exercise :v:
Probably poor genetics. Doesn't mean he still can't help himself.
[QUOTE=redBadger;47564228]Probably poor genetics. Doesn't mean he still can't help himself.[/QUOTE] More like poor decisions [quote]In an NBC 10 story in 2006, Butler talked about his struggles with eating. “When I'm depressed I'll eat chips or order myself a large pizza and pretty much kill it myself,” Butler said.[/quote]
[QUOTE=Thunderbolt;47564244]More like poor decisions[/QUOTE] sounds like a pretty shitty mental disorder.
[QUOTE=Thunderbolt;47564244]More like poor decisions[/QUOTE] Probably a mix, then. Nobody can feasibly get that huge by simple bad food choices. I would guess that he was already susceptible to weight gain, and his eating habits made him balloon in size.
It's mental alright. At 250lbs or so you have to be thinking "Okay, time to get this under control". At 400lbs it should "WTF happened? This has to stop" and by the time you hit 500lbs you should be in treatment. Instead he's made it to 1000lbs, that takes some serious I don't give a fucks to get a human being to that point. Who is enabling this, that's why I'd like to know. It's not like he can just run out for junk food whenever he likes.

If I was morbidly obese for my size I would do extensive diet and exercise. What I mean is if I was so obese that I needed a crane to move, I'd rather die. Your only option at that point is gastric bypass and survival rates are like 50-50 for people of this size. I'd probably opt for that actually.
