Just how fat could a human possibly be before the fat would kill them.
Lets say you take a man or woman of average size, and have them can as much weight as possible. Would they survive 1000 pounds ? 2000 pounds ? How fat could they get , and what would probably kill them first ?
correction- have them GAIN as much weight as possible

The picture of Francis John Lang – and it isn’t Photoshopped – shows just a blob of flesh covering a queen-sized bed, with arms and a head sticking out at one end.
Here’s another woman that literally covers a bed. I don’t know how they can live, even at that weight.
You know what gets me about these outrageously fat people (outrageously meaning in excess of 400 pounds, say)? If there’s an accompanying story, they always say things like “Mrs. X has been bed-ridden for six years” or “Mr. Y has been unable to leave his apartment for the past decade.” Which means they AREN’T:
- going to the grocery store
- pushing a cart around the premises loading it with Mallomars
- hauling the purchases home
- getting it into the house and put away
- cooking it
- serving it
- cleaning up afterwards…
repeat, repeat, repeat. So in each case, one or more people ARE doing these things, and clearly providing food vastly in excess of normal amounts.
If this level of obesity kills, and it does, why aren’t those who are supply the dozen-egg omelets for breakfasts and the eight quarter pounder lunches or whatever considered to be doing something criminal? Aiding at suicide, something like that?
