Health Food for Thought I saw recently saw a documentary about the one ton man. The first few minutes alone are completely horrifying. The enormous fat at its absolute worst: so enormous, he was naked because no clothes would fit. He was on his stomach in a bed with sheets soaked in his own fluids. The paramedics couldn't turn him over because he couldn't breathe under the enormity of his own weight. Blood and feces were on his hands. All basic human dignity was gone. Besides the shock of the above scene, there was another part of this documentary that really struck me. Several obese people were interviewed about their lifestyles and experiences trying to lose weight. One was a lady who said when she started eating a normal amount felt something weird in her stomach: hunger. She had never in her life known what hunger felt like.  There are people in this world who don't know what it's like to be full. How unbelievably fortunate we are to live in a place and time where people can literally EAT themselves to death? But somehow they are oppressed for having that luxury and thin people starving around the world are maligned "privileged."
