> [@RheaDark](#): > > “The 42-year-old already holds the title of the world’s fattest mother after giving birth to her daughter in 2007 when she weighed 241kg.” As of now, she’s a bit more than that, at around 270kg, or 600lbs. So, in 2 years, she needs about 400 lbs. That’s a little over 16.5lbs a month - sounds doable, but tough. Those poor kids. Their mom is basically killing herself for what? A small amount of “fame”? ---

Ugh. This must be a case of [Feederism.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_fetishism#Feederism) Especially if she’s got a fetish website showing her eat. Although, she appears willful in her efforts and it doesn’t seem like she’s being coerced by her husband. That doesn’t mean he’s not, though. :dubious: ---
