Okay, in addition to just being shocked, I think involving her 4 year old is creepy and wrong.

I really don't see much difference between her and reality show celebrities / contestants. Except she is definitely going to die young.

Yeah, I've seen reality shows on TLC where they don't specifically show that the children of these obese people are overfeeding them, but of course, they must be. They cannot even get out of their own bed, so they are being supplied the insane amount of calories it must take to maintain their weight.

I cannot get over, in this story, that there are people who will pay good money to watch this woman gorge herself and expose her flab as, what? Entertainment?! That is really disturbing.

I find it sad, she's exploiting and harming herself; it's such a bad example for her little girl :thumbsdown:
